He announced 200 Temples! That is crazy to everyone! (Especially the one in Greenville South Carolina) I will miss his temple announcements at the end of each general conference from him but it will always be in my memory for the rest of my life.

With love, Elijah Langford

Your influence is immeasurable and only matched by your selflessness and dedication to the Scriptures. You have shown the power of God and witnessed his miracles and mercy. You will never be forgotten and your faith will live on in our memories and hearts. May God bless and protect your family and friends.

Joseph & Vickie Wilker
We so have been inspired and grateful for the wonderful service to our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ, our Savior that Russell M. Nelson has given in the last 7.5 years as the President and Prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We are also inspired by his powerful teachings, which echo and clarify the teachings of the Savior in this difficult world. We have enjoyed his ongoing devotion to his first wife Danzel (White) who passed away and his devotion to his second wife Wendy (Watson) and to his large and beautiful family. His Christ-like kindness and his abilities as an inspired peacemaker have created many bridges. We know that he has had a wonderful reunion with is wife and his other family that have passed before him and that the Lord continues to have a work for him to do beyond the veil. We will miss his warm and cheery personality and his inspired leadership but we know that President Nelson will rejoice in the continuing progress of the Lord's kingdom in the gathering of Israel on both sides of the veil. Our hearts overflow with positive things to say about him and we know his gifts have come because of God and his continuing efforts to be a disciple to the Savior Jesus Christ. We will miss him.

President Nielson is a remarkable man and a wonderful prophet. His example is his legacy. He left that legacy for many to follow, develop, and apply in their own lives. His remarkable ability to follow Jesus Christ, maintain good gospel principles and live accordingly coupled with a concrete solid faith reflected just what kind of man he was. I have loved him for as long as I can remember and always will. I never got the opportunity to meet him in this life, but I feel as though I have known him all my life.

Examples like his has helped structure my life and take it from brokeness to a healing coupled with life of success and great potential, hopelessness to hope. My life has been strenthened dramatically thanks to men like Russell Marion Nielson.

There has been, and always will be great change that takes place when the name Russell M Nielson is mentioned because wherever he went, good was always sure to follow and take place.

I will always love him, and sorely miss my beloved prophet and friend so dear. My sincere condolences also go to the Nieson family for this difficult yet temporary separation. May their hearts be swallowed up on Jesus Christ and His gentle healing hands and arms.

Rest in peace my friend.

I am so saddened by the loss of our dear Prophet, Russell M. Nelson... I know he was truly a Prophet of God who loved Him and His son, our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ by how much he emulated Them and taught and spoke about Them. It was also easy to see how much he loved all of us, God's children. I know when he went to be with our loving Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ in Heaven that Heavenly Father embraced him and said "Well done my good and faithful servant, you have accomplished much on Earth and now have much to accomplish here in Heaven!" I missed hearing from him at General Conference! He will be dearly missed! My condolences and thoughts and prayers for his family and friends and loved ones at this time...may God bless and wrap them in his comforting arms.

I have seen President Nelson in his motal life shortly after I joined the church in year 2000 in Buffalo Grove, Chicago. I still remember he said to a sister, "If you love me, sing for me. " I have been singing at home for many years to keep my lung healthy. He is God's prophet and he is like a savior for me.

President Nelson did a successful open heart surgery on my brother when he was in elementary school. I have educated my nursing students in the auditorium that was dedicated to him Intermountain Medical Center.
I would love to donate a flock of my trained pure White Doves that will fly home at his gravesite. Please reach out at 801-636-1072 to make arrangements.
