I have had the opportunity to meet Jeffrey R. Holland a number of times. He really is the man. I highly encourage you to listen to this message from him!
"Hyrum was, perhaps, Joseph Smith, Jr.'s greatest support. Their love for each other was more than brotherly, but included a spiritual union and understanding, because of the sacrifices they made together in order to bring to pass the restoration of the gospel. Of Hyrum, Joseph said, “I could pray in my heart that all my brethren were like unto my beloved brother Hyrum, who possesses the mildness of a lamb, and the integrity of a Job, and in short, the meekness and humility of Christ; and I love him with that love that is stronger than death, for I never had occasion to rebuke him, nor he me” (History of the Church, 2:338). Throughout Hyrum’s life, he guarded his younger brother as tenderly as if the Prophet had been his own son." http://www.mormonwiki.com/Hyrum_Smith
