Gordon B. Hinckley reunites with his wife

The Prophet, Seer, and Revelator, and President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints passed away last night. He was 98 years old, but he was lively and young and quick. I remember when Tony & I were still in Charleston, SC, President Hinckley visited for our Regional Conference. We saw him via satellite since he spoke in Columbia, SC, (the capital). President Hinckley wore a blue Palmetto Tie and spoke of the Palmetto Tree and the Crescent Moon pattern on the tie, and then said this:

"I don't buy green bananas anymore.

When you're my age, you don't buy green bananas."

I sure loved listening to him speak. He was amazing! He said of mothers:

"Do the best you can. And remember, the greatest asset you have in this world, is your children..."

President Hinckley outlived his eternal companion, Marjorie Peay Hinckley, by 4 long years. I believe he's embracing her right now. Eternal love, eternal companion, eternal families, eternal life.
