President Hinckley has passed away

I don't think words, or at least my own, would really do this justice, but here's the link to the Church's press release.

One point that was made by a friend of mine (Mariel Wirth) was that he's now with his wife again.

Edited to add: Now that the news has been out for a couple hours, it's astonishing and, frankly, rather heartening to see how many big news sources are listing his death as a major news item. I'm sure it is partly due to Mitt Romney's campaign, but that can only mean good things for the Church, i.e. I'm glad we're getting this much media coverage that's not negative, and that, as a result, will probably end up being a positive thing in the big picture.
