SALT LAKE CITY — On behalf of the Catholic people of Utah, I express condolences to the family, First Presidency, and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the death of their beloved President Gordon B. Hinckley. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at the loss of such a kind and faith-filled gentleman. Our esteem for President Hinckley is profound. While faithful to his religious beliefs, he respected believers of other denominations. He sought to find the common ground that all might work to strengthen the values that we share. His commitment to build a better world, with respect for diversity, fostered good will and community harmony. In meetings with President Hinckley we encountered his keen sense of humor and his personal humility. His was a wise perspective on the world that included interest in issues of common concern. The world and this community have been enriched by his life. It is our prayer that President Hinckley finds peace in the heavenly kingdom. We will certainly miss his presence among us.
