It is with great sadness that I report that Dorothy passed away at 4:50 pm today. She died peacefully and without pain, surrounded by her mother, father, sister and myself.
Earlier in the afternoon, several family members were able to join on a web call so they could see Dorothy and say their farewells.
Dorothy was undergoing significant organ failure, and we made the decision to remove her from the ventilator. We were able to spend some time with her both before and after that happened.
I am emotionally exhausted tonight. The boys are handling the news at this time, but I know that they will need to have some time to work through things.
No arrangements have been made at this point. I will be sure to update everyone when that has happened.
I want to especially thank Ted, Georgene, Lynda, Cathy, and all of those of you who have offered support in many capacities today.
My deepest and most sincere condolences to you and the boys. Dorothy is such a good woman.
I’m so, so sorry for your loss, Brian. Sending love and prayers to you and your beautiful family. ❤️
I’m glad you could be with her when she passed. Sending my love to you and the boys.
Brian, I’m so sorry to hear this very sad news. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
We are so sorry to hear about Dorothy. I have always admired her for her kindness and many talents. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.
So sorry for your all’s loss. My heart goes out to you. Thank you so much for sharing your time with us.
Brian, we are mourning with you. We love you and Dorothy and your boys and stand ready to help with anything needed. We have been praying and praying for you and Rowan and Kelvin., and will continue to pray.
I don’t know the right words. I loved her. She was amazing. My love and prayers go to everyone that has lost her. My sincerest prayer for peace to you and the boys.
It seems impossible Dorothy is gone. I watched her online during the Christmas season, promoting her jewelry line. She was so so confident, vibrant, and articulate as she talked about each piece. Now this. May the Lord wrap his arms around you and your family as you deal with this sudden tragedy,
Dear Brian ,”..My heart is crying for you …..I cannot comprehend Dorothy is gone….I loved her…..so much sunshine she brought into my life…….may God bless all of you……my prayers are with you still……..love Sonja…..
My deepest condolences to you and the boys. She was such a wonderful woman and will be deeply missed.
Dearest Hansen family,
You haven’t met me. Suzzie, Dorothy’s sister, is a good friend of mine from church. She told me recently that her sister was struggling with Covid, so I’ve been praying for your family. I would like to express my deepest condolences to all of you who are struggling and heartbroken. I’m so very sorry for your loss. I wish I could do something to ease your pain. I will continue praying for you and your family for comfort and peace.
Brian,
I am so very sorry. Truly, words fail me. I have many happy memories of Dorothy, and of you two together from our work days, and I am so grateful for those memories. Dorothy was truly a special person and I will miss her.
Know that I am thinking of you and the boys, sending you love, and keeping you in my prayers as you move through this painful loss.
With love,
Kellie
Thank you Kellie.
