I am sorry to hear of the passing of President Hadley. Back in 1995 under his recommendation I was called to be a Bishop for the then Spanish-speaking branch here in Ogden. Unfortunately the branch became a ward and we were then transferred to another stake within the city of Ogden. I remember being so scared and feeling unfit for the calling presented during our interview, however Pres. Hadley uplifted me with his great spirit and assured me of the wonderful blessings to come from serving in the church. Prior to our branch being turned to a ward and leaving the stake, we in the branch always felt the support and kind concern from President Hadley. I know of many people who loved him and the many of the members of the stake who under his direction always came to support the branch in its activities and needs. In many ocassions he helped the many Hispanic members of our branch. Thank you for sharing him with the rest of us. I for one will remember his kindness, friendship and support.
Sincerely,
