I remember back when President Hunter passed away and many in the media said the church was in turmoil and without direction once Hunter passed away. I guess a little lack of knowledge and people assume a lot regarding the church. Like DeadI said, there is no breakage in authority and the church is lead by wonderful men who are very much capable of carrying things forward.

President Hinckley was a wonderful man and inspired a lot of people. He will surely be missed. My prayers go out to him and his family.

I will miss him. He did SO much to bring a wealth of *true* knowledge about the Mormon religion to the world. He was a great leader and a stellar communicator.
