Cane Wave
Tribute to President Hinckley
In honor of President Gordon B. Hinckley, a
unique tribute to this beloved prophet is being organized for his
funeral. All who loved President Hinckley and who will be in Salt
Lake City on Saturday, February 2, are invited to participate.
Most of us have had the pleasure of seeing President
Hinckley greet the masses with a wave of his cane. It became his
signature over the past few years, and we all got a good laugh when
he used his cane to wave to the masses instead of using it to help
him walk.

To honor the man, and his great sense
of humor, a group known only as “Cane Wave Tribute”
is proposing that Church members line the streets between the Conference
Center and cemetery, hopefully with thousands of admirers, waving
canes as the cortège passes. This website
has been set up to disseminate information about the tribute as
it becomes available.
Cane Wave Tribute asks that you send a copy
of this article to as many people as you can, and ask them in your
message to do the same. This way we can reach as many people as
possible, and give this great man a fitting tribute.
Get your walking canes right away.
Make this a family event, and share the joy of a final celebration
tribute to President Hinckley. School classes, wards, and seminaries
are invited to participate together. Join thousands of other Latter-day
Saints for an event that will live forever in your minds and hearts.
