“The United Kingdom and the people of the world lost a noble
monarch with the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. She presided through seven
decades, in times of peace and conflict, plenty and struggle, and did so with
characteristic grace and goodness. The First Presidency, Quorum of the Twelve
Apostles and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints express
admiration and respect for the Queen and extend our sincere condolences to her
family and her people at this tender time. The Lord counsels to ‘live together
in love, insomuch that thou shalt weep for the loss of them that die’ (D&C
42:45). The many expressions of sympathy from around the world are a loving
tribute to Queen Elizabeth II from those who loved her. We feel gratitude for
the goodness of an exemplary life and rejoice in the hope of a glorious
resurrection, made possible through the loving sacrifice of the Lord Jesus
Christ.” – First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
