May god always bless your family .So sorry that your daughter was taken away so soon.

So sorry for your loss. I just saw the move and my sincere heartfelt prayers go out to your family,, Glad justice has prevailed.. I can imagine that may not be much consulation. And i will write to the parol board requesting he doesnt get out

I am almost finished reading the book by Ann Rule. This was such a tragedy that didn't have to happen. Your family is in my prayers. I am glad justice finally got served.

I am living the nightmare you lived for some 16 years. My sister was murdered 6 months ago. I know she couldn't have committed suicide; yet that is what detectives are saying. Her husband is a police officer and I know something is just not right. She had four young children and I am not allowed to see them because I question his involvement. If you have any suggestions on how to live within this nightamre I would greatly appreciate them.

Have just read Ann Rule's book Too Late to Say Goodbye.

This message is a simple one

May the family gain strengh every day and Dr Dolly may you now finally Rest In Peace x

Happy Birthday Dolly. Such a beautiful woman you were.

I'm so sorry for the loss your family has had to endure, but I'm so very grateful that you and your family has found Justice.

I just finished reading Ann Rule's book. I am so glad justice was finally served on this earth. Just remember that justice in the hereafter is still to come. I have never lost a child and can not even begin to imagine your loss. May GOD and Dolly smile on you each and every day.

I read about your lovely, beautiful, and talented daughter, sister and friend and how tragically she was taken from all of you. I pray that at this time you feel God's love and peace pour down on you and may He always hold all of you in his loving hands. May you find comfort there always until you can see your beautiful Dr. Dolly again.
God Bless you all

I just read the book and am so sorry for your loss. God bless you

I was given the book "Too Late To Say Goodbye" and I will never forget it. I have been in abusive relationships and know all too well what can happen. I was lucky! God bless Dolly and your family. Your lovely Dolly seemed to jump off the pages with her wit and beauty. I hope and pray that "that monster" never sees the light of day. Your family deserves peace and I pray you finally got some measure of that with the verdict. God bless you and your family. Beth Humphrey Missouri

I just read the book Ann Rule wrote.
My heart just had to check to see if there was a site still out there to say how sorry I am for your loss. I hope you all feel justice was done in the end. I myself think he should have been shot in the head for his doings. May you never forget her and live life for her.
Just thinking of you from Round Lake Illinois

My heart and prayers go with your family. My you find peace and tranquility. Dolly touched many people and she will not be forgotten.
Kindest Regards

I just got done reading Too Late To Say Goodbye and I was heartbroken. I can't imagine how someone could to this to another person. Someone who was only good and kind to others. I can't imagine how hard this was for you to go through and for 14 yrs thinking that he was never going to be punished. I was just sitting here and I looked at my computer and it said the 15th. I thought of Bart and I thought thank God he has been rotting for 2 yrs. Its not enough though, The thought that he will be there for many years to come makes it a lot better though. I know even though he is there it doesn't make it easier on you and it doesn't bring her back. Just know that you will see her again one day and you will be able to look into her beautiful face and tell her you love her and missed her and wrap your arms around her. He will only end up in hell alone. I will be thinking of you and your family and hope that your lives are filled with happiness.

I just finished reading Ann Rule’s book and I was shocked with the story of Dolly and Jen. I just wanted to say that I’m truly sorry for your lost. Thank you for sharing the story with all of us around the world. May God continue to give you all strength to endure and continue to bless every one in your family.
God bless you all.

I'm so sorry about the loss that you have gone through and I hope that they never let Mr.Corbin out of prison. The man is a danger to society. I hope that wach day that passes that you find peace and comfort may god bless your family and keep you safe in his arms. Jolene

I just finished reading "Too late to say goodbye", and I just wanted let you all (Dolly's friends and family)know how much of an impact reading about her has had on me. I also want you to know that her energy and spirit radiate from the pages. So, Dr. Dolly is still working her magic. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Your all in my prayers from the corbin/barber to you hearns. I know it's been a hard road these past 18yrs. but Dolly got her justice which I know doesn't bring her back but Im sure your family has a lil peace and she shall never be forgotten

To the Hearn Family:
I finished reading Ann Rules' book last night and just cried. I don't know how I missed this in the news (other than I try to avoid it sometimes, as I am very soft hearted and all the "bad stuff" really makes me sad). This is no exception. I have a beautiful 17 year old daughter who I love more than my own life. I can't imagine your grief having lost yours. It would have to be the worst thing in life. I will remember Dr. Dolly's story and her family always. I will say a prayer for you all. God Bless.

I just finished reading Ann Rule's book Too late to say goodbye, Kudos to Ann Rule for getting Jenn and Dolly's story out there. My heart goes out to both families. I'm glad that both families have some closure and that justice was served. Heartfelt sympathy goes out to the the Hearn family from mine! GOD BLESS!!!!

My name is Nancy. I have no association with Dolly. I am from Ontario, Canada. I came across Dolly's story when I was playing on a gaming website with Heather, the sister of Jennifer that also passed away at the same cowardly hands as Dolly did. We were talking about where everyone was from and someone had lived in the same area where Jennifer did, and as they spoke about it, it reminded me of my bestfriends loife being taken away also at the hands of cowards. I inquired a little further and Heather directed me to the web site that was made in her sisters memory, which I then saw Dolly's name on as well.

I cannot imagine what both of these women went through. Every word that I read through people's guestbook postins brought tears to my eyes, and you could very much tell that both of these women were loved a great deal. I have a family of my own and cannot imagine life without them. All I can say is that I am so incredibly sorry for such a tragic loss and as I came to find out what this cowards sentencing was, it just made me feel all the more bad because of how tragically both lives were taken. I would love to say to both families of these beautiful young women that you are amazingly strong to keep high spirits through all of what you went through. I want to also say that your family is in my family's prayers and all our love goes out to you. God Bless your ENTIRE family. Love from Canada, Nancy and Family.

I am currently reading "The Doctor's Wife" involving the murder of Dr Corbin's wife. I am truly saddened by the fact that this doctor committed such a violent crime on your daughter and walked away only to be found several years later. I commend your famliy for their strength in dealing with such a horrific tragedy without the support of the local authorities. I hope that with the verdict from your daughter's case that your family found some sort of closure. May God continue to bless your family.

I did not know Dolly, but only read about her in "TOO LATE TO SAY GOODBYE". She sounds like a beautiful person inside and out. My heart aches for your family. This is a great website to keep Dollys memory alive. She was loved by so many people. I'm so sorry for you loss. I'm glad I got to read about her life, but I'm sad it had to end so tragic! I'M SO GLAD SHE FINALLY GOT JUSTICE!!!! Take care and GOD BLESS YOU FAMILY.

I just read "Too Late to Say Goodbye". It's obvious that Dolly was beautiful both inside and out. I am so very sorry for your loss. Your family will stay in thoughts. God Bless you!

I am from England and have just read the book what a terrible story.

thinking of you .just finished ann rules book my heart goes out to you unfortunately he will not be frying in the electric chair peace and good will

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to your family. I just finished reading the book and I cannot belive how this monster destroyed so many lives, Your daughter is a beautiful person and I wish I would of had the opportunity to know.I hope he rots in Hell. God Bless you for being so strong.

How tragic this story is. Hopefully you have all found some peace in the "conclusion".

I am so sorry about your DOLLY! I did not know her and I know that I would have loved her BIG HEART AND KIND SOUL!! I have to tell you all, HOW MUCH MY HEART WEAPS FOR YOU and your DAUGHTER DOLLY! What a HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE WAY TO END YOUR LIFE THAT IS JUST STARTING, she did not get to finish her Dreams, Hopes, and most of all enjoy a family of her own, I HOPE and Pray that You all are handling her being gone from earth, better each day and that she fills your hearts with joy as you think of her, May GOD be close with you all daily....GOD BLESS! I pray for you and your family daily!

Just finished the book and decided to look at the websites for Dolly and Jennifer. Dolly and I would be the same age today, and some of the photos of her with her younger brothers are so much like photos of my younger brother and me (the hair styles and clothing). What a senseless tragedy...I'm glad justice finally prevailed even if it was 16 years late. I'm also glad to know that Tabitha lived a long and no doubt pampered life with Dolly's parents. Your website is a lovely tribute.

I've just finished reading Ann Rule's book. I've read all of her books, but this story touched me in a way none of the others have. I had to put it down and cry a few times, it was so heartbreaking to read. I feel like I almost know these women, like we could have been friends. It's so tragic. I want to express my sympathy to the families. I pray for both of these women.

I am reading Ann Rule's Too Late To Say Goodbye and am struck by the outpouring of support for both Dolly and Jenn. It is always horrible and impossible to comprehend how a human being can so callously take another's life. It was such a tragic loss, and so unnecessary. Dolly had so much to offer, had such a bright future. May God bless you and give you peace.

I wanted to thank your family for sharing Dolly's story. Many people do not understand domestic violence, and even fewer people understand when the "violence" is not physical, but verbal and mental. I, too, have read Anne Rule's book. Dolly's kindness came across so clearly, that I feel the world is suffering more than it knows by not having her in it. (I still cannot believe anyone would think she committed suicide. I never met her, but I was surprised at how angry I was that it took so long to vindicate Dolly.) I am so sorry for your loss...contrary to what some people think, some hurts stay with us forever. Thank you for sharing Dolly with us...and God bless your family.

I do not know Dolly however I just got done reading The Doctors Wife by John Glatt. I just happen to see it while shopping and picked it up. I am in school for Criminal Justice and would like to become a homicide investigator so these types of books attract me. I cannot imagine the pain you went through and the pain you still have from this terrible crime. I looked through the pictures you have up and just as it said in the book Dolly was beatiful! I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy to all of you. Crimes such as Dolly's are what make me want to become a homicide investigator so a family like yours can get the JUSTICE they deserve and finally put such a wonderful woman to rest in HEAVEN WITH GOD. God bless all of you.

My prayers go out to the friends and family of this lovely young lady. I pray that Bart Corbin remains behind bars for the remainder of his life. I am sorry for your loss, but so glad that the truth was finally revealed! RIP Dr. Dolly!

To Dr. Dolly's Family, I am reading the book and had to write to you. Many tragic events take place every day and we hear so many hearbreaking stories but there is something about this story (Dolly and Jenn's story) that has touched me more than most others. I think because while reading their story you feel almost like you "knew" them and both were truly special women who just should not have died when they did. The fact that Dolly's death was ruled a suicide for so many years makes everything that much worse. Truly, I cannot imagine what you all have gone through. I cannot imagine how a person can just take a life without a thought....and get away with it for 14 years. The main reason I wrote to you was to say that Dolly will not be forgotten. She has touched so many lives in so many ways, just reading the posts here it is amazing. When I read about her it made me want to be a better person and be more positive. I also have talked to my children about getting involved with obsessing/abusive relationships, although they are only 13 and 16, I told them all about the book and showed them your slide show. My son (the 13 yr old) noticed how beautiful Dolly was for sure! He was staring at her picture and totally mesmerized! I just wanted you all to know that there are complete strangers out here who care and pray for Dolly and all of you. Tabitha, I'm sure is with her mistress now, God Bless Dr. Dolly and all of you.

I just finished reading the book 'Too Late to Say Goodbye' by Ann Rule. I just want to express my condolences and offer my heartfelt prayers for strength for your family. Know that the good Lord is taking care of Dolly and she is waiting for you.

i am studying to be a law student and i really enjoy true crime however i came across this book by ann rule and found that it was sick and somewhat a shock. i am so sorry that this happened and i will certinally keep in mind how many sick individuals there are out there.
I know how hard it is to loose even your daughter, i have had many dealths in my family i must say they are thought of each and every day.
i am studying to be a law student in crime and i plan to keep these kind of creeps off the streets.
i will pray for you and your family

I wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss, at the same time, thank you for sharing Dolly's story with the world through this book. It really opened my eyes. I hope that your family finally felt some peace after Dolly and Jen got justice. I hope that they do not let Bart Corbin out of prison any time soon. How someone could treat life like it is theirs to take is unbelievable, I can not even imagine feeling that it is ok to take another human life. Personally I think he should get the death sentance.

I just finished Ann Rule's book and wanted to pass on my condolences to the family. It must be so hard to live without such a vibrant and wonderful person. All the best to everyone who knew Dolly and has to carry on without her.

As with many others I have just finished Ann Rules book and was saddened by the loss of Dr. Dolly. I hope your family will some find some condolonce in the fact that Dolly's life has touched many thousands of people. You know you have an angel watching over you now.

I just finished that book today, and I felt a need to add a comment to this site. I am so sorry for all those years that B*** walked around a free man, while you and your family had to suffer with the unknown. It is a wonderful thing that your family started this website. I hope your family is doing well, and I hope that the guards in jail put him into the general population and turn their heads. May he rot for everything he has done to your family!

I knew you for about a year or so. I have recently started working in Wilkes Co.and I have again had the privilege of meeting people who knew you and your family. I recently visited your place of rest and I vividly remember your life as one of passion for family , friends, and of course your stance for the humane treatment of animals used in medical science. You will always live in the hearts of people who knew you and I know that someday you will be reunited with those that you love.

After reading some of the messages that have been left on this website I see that like myself they have read and been affected by Ann Rules' book "Too late to say goodbye". I did not know Dolly or Jennifer but after reading about their lives; IIwhich I'm sure is only a fraction outlined in this book, I now know that they were such loving, caring and trusting young women. I just can not understand how anyone could be so controlling and evil that they could do such horrible acts. The tradegy that two families must live with everday...My heart goes out to you all! God bless you Dolly and may your spirit live on forever!

I just finished reading the book Too Late To Say Goodbye by Ann Rule. I wanted to send my thoughts to the Dolly's family. It is always hard when someone loses a family member in a such a tragic turn of events. My wish is that your family will find some comfort knowing so many people are meeting Dolly through Ann's book.

I read about Dr. Dolly's story. What an amazing woman she was! She sounds just as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. You will be missed and in our thoughts.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. I heard of Dolly through Ann Rules' book. Dolly would have made an impact on the world, I'm sure of it. My heart goes out to your family.

Today I finished Ann Rule's Too Late to Say Goodbye. It is a heartbreaking story and no matter how many more stories I read through out my life, I will never forget the tragic story of Dolly Hearn and Jennifer Barber Corbin. Know that my thoughts and prayers will forever be with all of you who love them.

I never had the honor of meeting Dolly. I read of her life and her tragic death in the book by Ann Rule called "Too Late to say Goodbye". It broke my heart. Dolly sounded like a wonderful young woman. I know that you will never get over the pain and sorrow of losing her at such a young age, but I feel sure Heaven is graced with such a lovely rose as Dolly. I think sometimes God sees how special some of his creations are and just simply calls them back home from such a world that is not good enough for them. Dolly had the misfortune of being in the path of such a cruel and self-serving person as Bart Corbin and perhaps would never have been able to get free of him. At least, it sounds like she did not suffer. She was beautiful on the outside and sounds like she was beautiful on the inside, as well. I read a lot of books, but this story touched my very soul (for your family as well as Jenn Corbins). God Bless your family and I'm praying that time is helping your pain. Know that others share the pain with you. I found this book at a yard sale and I realize that it has been many years, but the pain is always with us when we lose someone we love. Sincerely, Charlotte Bean

I just finished reading articles on the internet about the Corbin murder trial and it is my sincere hope that the family of Dolly Hearn is doing alright. I know that you suffered a great loss. Just looking at Dolly's pictures, you can see the beauty she radiates comes from inside her, you can see the joy of life that glowed in her smile. She is surely one of God's chosen lights...and will continue to shine brightly for all eternity. I am doubly glad that justice was finally done and her killer was not allowed to roam free any longer. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
