I did not know her very well but I remembered her when I saw her name. Our greatest sympathies go out to you and your family at this time of your loss. May the Lord bless you with the comfort and love that you need. Frank Hinckley fhinck@gmail.com The families of Gloria and Lyle Hansen and Frank and Norma Hinckley send our most heartfelt condolences at the loss of Dorothy. She was a sweet lady with many talents. As we all know she is now with Uncle Clinton and Aunt Mable, her namesake, and the rest of the family that has proceeded her in death, having a great reunion. Rod Hansen rodhansen@museumofidaho.org I know that words can not fill the hole left by the passing of a loved one, but I felt compelled to write and tell you that my prayers and thoughts as well as those of many here at the museum are with you in your grief. I came to the Museum of Idaho only a short time prior to Dorothy's health issues. In that short time her commitment to the museum and friendship to those here was made very clear. We felt her absence here and early on, looked for her return. It was not to be. My wish for you is that you might fill the void with fond memories, and the knowledge she is suffering no more. I cannot be in attendance this week, but again, my thoughts are with you. God Bless, Rod Hansen, Museum of Idaho
