Here is a great tribute video that someone put together for President Hinckley. I know you probably shouldn't have "favorites" necessarily but Pres. Hinckley was my favorite for as long as I can remember. I was so impressed by him. I have been able to see him at conference at the conference center. As he would enter the room, everyone stands and all 21,000 people are silent and reverent as he makes his way to his seat. I was also able to see him as he would come to the clinic that I worked at for his appointments. I worked until the clinic closed and that is usually when he had appointments. He could have come in the side entrance so he could get to his appointment without any disturbance but he would always come through the main entrance so that he could say hello. As he would walk through the doors, it was fun to see the other patients start whispering to each other "That is Pres. Hinckley!" The feeling in the room changed the moment he walked in the door. It was so peaceful and so calm. He would always greet everyone with a "Hello!" and he would wave his cane in the air. As he left after his appointment he would always say goodbye and walk out the door to his waiting car. He would climb in the front seat and pull the door shut with the crook of his cane. The days he came into the clinic were always a highlight. 
It was an amazing feeling to be steps away from the Prophet. I am so glad for the little opportunities I had to be around him. I will miss him greatly. When we told Maddie the news she walked over to the picure that we have of him and stood there looking at him with tears streaming down her face. There hasn't been a prayer that goes by that she doesn't pray for him still. And she reminds us that the next time we go to Salt Lake that we need to go visit him and take him some flowers. We were all very lucky to have him as our Prophet for as long as we did.

That's so cool. I didn't realize you worked at a clinic that he came to. Did you meet him or shake his hand or anything?? What a wonderful man. Alot of things about him and Marjorie have been in my mind these past few days and although I am so sad, I also love that they leave so many good things behind.
