It was a pleasure being your Dental Assistant at DOC, we worked so well together, I don't remember ever waking up and saying, "I wish I didn't have to go to work today", because I knew I will be working with you, You greeted me every morning like you haven't seen me in months. I am not much of a talker but with you we had so much to talk about everyday. you never made me feel like I was any less than you, you wouldn't make me go home anymore tired than you were. You were such a hard worker and wanted to help everyone. I miss working with you so much.
Kevin, Justin and Nicole, you are so lucky to have had this woman in your lives.
Sleep well Dr. Reichler.

I had the pleasure of having Linda as a coworker and friend. We were roomates for our dental conventions. Linda was so easy to be around and so much fun! I remember her love for shopping-(jewelry especially)and going out to eat. She loved her family and always spoke with so much love for them. May it comfort them to know how much she meant to all of us here at work. She is already missed.
