SALT LAKE CITY — The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square performed songs dedicated to the late President Russell M. Nelson on Sunday, filling the historic auditorium with music, applause and tears.

"I've just been so honored by his messages of love throughout all of his ministry," said Aaron Parks, who traveled with his family from North Carolina.

Parks made it out to Utah to visit loved ones, but when he and his family found out about the death of President Nelson — who passed away late Saturday night at the age of 101 — they decided to come together at Temple Square.

"It just feels like an honor to be here right now and just be able to be in this place, knowing that he served so much of his life here and now at the end, it just feels so special to be here," Parks said.
