From the LDS Newsroom:

President Hinckley was the 15th president in the 177-year history of the Church and had served as its president since 12 March 1995.
The Church president died at his apartment in downtown Salt Lake City at 7:00 p.m. Sunday night from cause’s incident to age. Member of his family were at his bedside. A successor is not expected to be formally chosen by the Church’s Quorum of the Twelve Apostles until after President Hinckley’s funeral within the next few days. "

Nice slide show, Holly. He was a wonderful man with such a delightful sense of humor.
I like your new background, soft and pleasant. ♥
Well, after I put up the post for President Hinckley, I felt like it was kind of inappropriate to have the evil queen from Snow White sitting right next to it. It just felt funny. I like changing the background anyway. It'd kind of fun to have it different. =)
hahahh your reason for changing the background is funny holly.
Thanks for putting up that slide show. That's nice to see.
I love looking at all these pictures and remembering...he sure left a legacy, didn't he?
