Thoughts
Dr. Eslick and his wife were the most professional, caring, and generous dentist experience I ever had. If I didn't have the money for an appointment he insisted I come in anyway and pay when I could. They were both taken too early and the Earth lost two angels when they died. It is December 2021 and I still think of them and how they blessed my life. AND I still have not found a dentist to take care of my dental needs since they died. They always enjoyed my writing so I will share it here: Please take time to read my letter to leaders on this topic - at this link to my Google Drive:

The American people are being left behind by leaders whose job is to protect the public.

Dr. Don was what I would call a natural born healer. A meticulous human being who cared and shared his love of life with all those who were fortunate to cross his life path. I met Don through Darrell. I was looking for a new dentist to replace my dear Dr. Janet Lent, who decided to retire to spend more time with her children ( a very wise decision). I was talking to Darrell one day and he mentioned Don to me. I called the office and was delighted to hear Lauren's sweet voice. I was sooo happy to know that my old friends sis and bro-in-law could take care of my dental needs. But, it was much more of a pleasure to get to know Don, visit with Lauren and be a small part of their lives. They both were always very kind to me and invited me into their lives and home. They made me feel like I was a part of their extended family and the memories of time spent with both of them, and their wonderful family will always make me smile with love and appreciation for them all. I know Don is taking digital photos wherever he is and Lauren is right by his side.
I will miss them both but they are always in my heart.
To their children and friends - their time was much too brief - the time spent with all of us, but our lives have been enriched for having known them.
Rest in peace...
Surrounded with much love -
Your friend and eternally grateful patient -
