This article was written by my friend Elise Soukup, one of Newsweek's editors. It's currently #1 on Newsweek's website.
But more important than the many honors and distinctions he was awarded was his testimony and love of Jesus Christ.
You are a great man and a wonderful prophet and leader. We love you and will miss you.
I wanted to say something on my blog but I didn't know how to do it tastefully and not sound trite. You found a way, like always, Dawnell. Ever classy.
