I remember when President Benson and President Hunter died. I was not in the state of Utah when they happened though. That probably explains why I think that it is so weird for the funeral to be broadcast on a news station and have it disrupt regularly scheduled programing. I also thought that it was weird for the coverage to start an hour before the funeral and for it to continue till a half hour after the graveside service.
Despite all of these things going through my head, I really did enjoy the words that were spoken. President Hinckley was a great man. I am still having a hard time believing that he won't be at April's General Conference. I have very happy for him though. He is with his beloved wife.
I love haw the Church leaders that spoke tied a little doctrine into their messages. It was most comforting. President Monson will have large shoes to fill, but he will fill them and fill them well. I am sure that he must be feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders right now. He will leave his own mark on the Presidency of the Church. He is a good man too and I look forward to his Presidency.
