Your loved one has left behind memories that will live in your hearts forever. Please know, at this difficult time you are not alone. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Barb, Dennis, Jesse, Jake and Jennifer.
I am a very good friend of Barb and her family in Emporia. Please know that many of us share in both the sadness of the loss of a wife, mother, and grandmother, and the celebration of the full life of Mrs. Ternes. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.
Oftentimes we do not know how much of an impact we made in life until death visits. Dorothy has had a profound influence in our lives through one of her most vital legacies, her daughter Barb. We share the family’s grief and remain grateful for the continuing presence in our lives of Barb, Dennis, Jesse, Jake and Jennifer. It is obvious that ‘Dot’ made a lasting impact in their lives.
Phil and Family, We are so sorry to here about the loss of Dot. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
