I can't believe that this book is still online. The last time I checked in to write something, I was told the pages did not exist. I am sure that Kathy will read this and I just want you to know that if it wasn't for her keeping up with her writing to you, I never would have found this book again. Thaak you Kathy you are truly Dr. Jeff's angel. There is so much to tell you. It's been so long since I have ben able to talk to you. I have again book marked this page and through the next few days, I will give you a run down on how my life is going. Talk to you soon. I miss you so very much. You are in my prayers every day. Talk to you very soon. Much love and a big thanks to Kathy, your friend forever, Donna.

Hi Jeff,
It's been a time since I looked at this. Sometimes I still try to convince myself that this is all a bad dream. I will have finised my graduate program in two weeks.I think about you all the time. Angie and her husband have spearated and James is back in graduate school. I am thinking about moving to Fl because of the job situation here. My present ob is the worst I have ever had in my life. I wish you were here to give me advice. You always knew just what to say. We all miss you.

Hi Dr.Green,

I can't believe it has been 6 years. I said a prayer fr you yesterday at Church. i am halfway through Grad School and doing well. All the kids are good. I have 8 grandaughters now. Work still is not ok for me. I think part of it is I still compare every thing and every body to how you were and when they do not measure up I begin to find fault and then I want to move on. I wish I could wake up tommorrow and find you still here.You are right things were not always perfect and some days you really got on my nerves but at least I could tell you that and we always got past it. No matter what yo did or what you gave it made me want to work that much harder for you. I do talk to Marilyn sometimes although not enough. Anyway I just wanted to say hi and to tell you I still miss you and I wish you were here.

Thursday February 21, 2008

Hi Dr Jeff,

I was thinking about you lately.

Also about Marilyn and the kids.

I know I need to drop her a line soon. But things have been so crazy lately. You know Michael got married and he is back in Fl. They are still trying to talk me into moving there. I am not ready for small town life. My job is making me crazy lately. We do not even know if we will have a job beyond the end of June. James is helping me work on an updated resume.You would be impressed with all of my kids they have become fine human beings. If i could just become more secure in the job market al would be fine. Oh how I wish you were here. Please say hi to my little sister, my nephew, my mom, my brother and Rochelle tell them all I miss them and you too. Pray for me to be strong through this job crisis. It is really too bad cause I love the people and our clients very much



Lots of Love and thanks for listening

Hi Dr Jeff,



Have you been watching things more closely lately? It sure feels like you have. I feel like I have inherited a habit I used to get on you about. Everytime I get stressed I over-eat. You always said i was a worry wort. It's still true. I wish you were here with al of us. Everything seemed easier to handle. I know your family feels the same. You know the two things in my life at this time that is uppermost in my mind. I should just relax but I can't. Please send some positive thoughts my way. Your family misses you Donna misses you and you Know my kids and I miss you. Michael is getting married next month. James is in management. The company he works for indirectly has a connection to where I (for now) work.Agie is still Angie. We all still love you. Be good up there and say hi to my mom my brother and my sister. Also tell Rochelle hey



Hug and Love

kathy

it's me again.. I just reread my last letter to you and realized that I already told you about my getting the tooth work finished.. LOL I am still a nut but I'm sure you already know that. So, if I repeat myself, just chalk it up to it being crazy Donna as usual..

Kisses and hugs, D

Hi Dr. Jeff,

I also have been thinking about you so much lately and it was wonderful to see that Kathy came in to talk to you. Kathy, I hope you are well and please feel free to emil me anytime. Anyway, a lot has changed for me too.. I started a new job about 15 months ago and it is wonderful. Mom is now in assisted living.. (she always loved you) and she's in El Paso where my brother has his pratice. I just know that you are smiling down on us right now Dr. Jeff. I had to go to another dentist to finish the work you started.. sniff.. the good news is I didn't have to have all my teeth pulled.. I was also very good, did not cry ( I know you are proud) and best of all, I had all the work done without taking any pain pills. He asked if I wanted them and I said no.. just took IBprofin.. A big milestone!! And thewhole time I thought to myself, this does not feel right. You were my dentist and friend for over 20 years!! I really do miss you.. Please tell my daddy how much I miss him and ask him to watch over mom. Have a great Passover and know that you are in my heart and mind always..

Until the next time..

Kisses, love and angels on your pillow,

Donna

Dear Dr. Jeff,

This morning I woke up with a sadness in my heart. I can't believe it's been 2 years since you've been gone. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you and your family is always in my prayers. I finally got the work completed on my teeth that we started before you left us. I think you would have been very proud of me. I did not cry even once. Though this dentist was not you (no one could take your place) I think you would have liked him. I am now back on the market looking for a job. It's been a pretty rough 2 years. Tonight I will light a candle that will burn for 24 hours in your memory. I know you are smiling down on me and your family today. I know that you are at peace. Please tell my daddy that I love and miss him so much. Someday, God willing.. we will all see each other again. As always your friend for life, Donna

Hi Dr. Jeff, it's Donna. I've been a little down lately and I haven't written to you but I just wanted to let you know that you are missed so much. There is not one day that goes by that you don't cross my mind. It was your year anniversary and your wife sent me a lovely card. I want her to know that I got it but since I don't have a phone number, I am writing it in here in case she looks.I hope you are happy in heaven. Always remember that you were one of the most special and important people in my life. My mom misses you too!! Please give my daddy and my kitties big hugs for me. I will write again soon. As always, your friend..Donna

It's the holidays and you and my loved ones that have passed are in my mind so much. Just wanted to drop a little note to let you know that you are thought of always Dr. Jeff. Happy Chanukah. Please give my dad a hug for me. To the Green family, know that you too are in my heart and prayers. As always, Donna

Wow, I just found out today about Dr. Green's passing. I went to the dentist office expecting to see him and hear some of his funny jokes. You see he has been our dentist for at least the last 12 years. God, I can still vividly recall my last visit with him and some of his funny jokes.



We selected Dr. Green because he had an uncanning ability to work with apprehensive patients and his reassuring bed-side manner. He was very patient with son and even found ways to make him laugh and not be so afraid during the examination.



May God bless him, he was a friend and the BEST Dentist that I had ever met. He will be missed!



May God bless his Family and Friends!!

You are on my mind today Dr. Jeff. It's been 2 months that you've been gone but not forgotten. I miss you terribly!!! Just wanted to let you know.. Angels on your pillows my friend.. As always, Donna

To Jeff's Family,



I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I had met Jeff years ago at the ADSA Annual Meetings and always found him to be a caring and compassionate individual. We did not speak at length when we met however the time we spent together was meaningful the last conversation we had was about the upcoming Bar Mitzvah of your son. He was really looking forward to it. He will be missed.

Dear Green Family & Friends,



I had known Dr. Green for only a few years as a patient. When I called today to reschedule an appointment I was shocked and saddened to hear about his death. It's hard to believe someone who seemed so full of life could be taken at such an early age.



Until I found Dr. Green, I had always hated going to the dentist. Besides being incredibly compassionate of my fears and funny as hell, I could tell right away he was a great, kind, generous man. When we moved from the city to Evanston nearly two years ago, it never crossed my mind to change dentists. There simply was no replacement for Dr. Green.



During my last visit, Dr. Green and I spent the whole visit talking about our families (I was expecting my second child at the time). So, the primary reason I am writing is to let his wife and children know that he thought about them during his work day and spoke of them with love and laughter.



My thoughts and prayers are with you, Amy DaRosa Krause

Mrs. Green, Tracy, Jordan and Blake,



I don't have words to send that might ease your sense of loss but you have been at the top of my prayer list. Dr. Green was my favorite doctor and I spent over 20 years in his care. For me, he transformed the dreaded trip to the dentist into something that felt more like a visit with a friend. He was compassionate and gentle with a sparkling personality and priceless sense of humor. He taught me the importance of vigilant dental care and the value of a beautiful smile.



To Kathy and the other members of Dr. Green's work family, know that you too are in my thoughts and prayers.



I will always remember Dr. Green's iridescent spirit and I will miss him tremendously.



Valerie Phillips

My prayers are with the Green family during this difficult time. I hope this guest book lets you know how many lives he has touched, and how much he will be missed.

(patient of almost 10 years)

DEAR MARILYN AND FAMILY WORDS CANT EXPRESS HOW I FEEL I KNEW JEFF SINCE THE AGE OF ELEVEN HE WAS A DEAR SWEET MAN MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND THE CHILDREN SINCERLY SAM MANDEL

Dear Jeff:

No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, your were gone before we knew it, and only god knows why....



Dear Marilyn, Tracy, Jordan ,Blake

Joe and I offer our heart felt condolences on the loss of your husband and father. We all have really lost a wonderful person in Jeff. We feel as if we know all of you personaly because Jeff adored his family. I am a Police Officer of 32 yrs and enjoyed Jeff's friendship and talks about the outdoors, I remember when he wanted so bad to find antlears and I had a set from one of my hunts, he was so happy to accept them and give them to his son. We would also talk about the funny jobs I had worked and Jeff had a great love for us in lawenforcement. Because of Jeff's knowledge in anesthesiology he would take calls from Md's prior to surgery for Doris because of her difficulty with sedation. He not only knew his patients dential needs but went beyond that to help them.

Our family will truley feel the loss of Jeff's friendship and dental care. Please extend our condolences to Jeff's staff.

Marilyn, please know that our prayers are with you and the family.



Joe and Doris Bembynista

From that first moment on the day of

my interview, I knew I wanted to work for this man. He never made me feel like I was his employee. He was

a friend. The way he made my family

and me feel was something that can never be replaced. He was not just my boss he was my friend. Myself and

my entire family send our love to heaven for him to keep always. To

Marilyn,Blake,Jordan and Tracy treasure your memories. He was the best



Kathy

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Dr. Green's passing. Not only an excellent dentist, but a great guy as well. He made me look forward to those appointments! He will be missed.

Dr. Green has been my dentist for the past 15 years. Truly a kind, gentle and wonderful man. His smile was so sweet and his care so gentle. Truly he will be missed. My prayers go out to the Green family on your loss.

Dear Marilyn, Tracy, Jordan and Blake:



We are truly sorry to hear about your loss of Jeff.



There is no way to justify his passing.



We feel your pain and offer you our heart-felt sympathies.

To the Green Family our sincere condolences on the loss of your husband and dad. You're in our thoughts and prayers. Your neighbors, Kathy and Bob Lipke

Thank you for painlessly guiding me through each procedure. I will miss your kindness and patience, especially when I'm certain I made it difficult. You were a credit to your profession and it was a pleasure to know you. May God Bless you and your family. Rest in Peace gentle giant.

Sigrid and Jim Krone

In blessed memory of a gentleman and a scholar.

I have hared that only the good die young, Now I know it's true !

Dr. Green has been my dentist almost half of my life, When I found a dentist that would take care of my special needs I was still scared out of my mind but Dr. Green helped me through this fear. I would shake and almost get sick every time I went to his office but if it wasn't for him I would of never gone to a dentist, I hated to go to the office but I could not wait until the next time I saw Dr. Green. I would always thank him before he started to work on me, He would say that's I was welcome and smile at me with that look of everything will be ok. The last thing I remember every time I went to the office was, Ok this will pinch a little now open your hand and relax by then I was out and Dr. Green could do his magic.

To Dr. Green's family I wish you only the best in life and never forget the great memories of a great man like Dr. Green.

I wish I had more stories to share about Dr. Green, because he was truly a wonderful guy. Each time I left his office I was laughing, and already looking forward to my next visit. I feel thankful to have known him, and I will surely miss him. My condolences to his wonderful family, who he was so very proud of, and to Cathy and everyone at his office, his extended family. Theresa Hale

Our deepest sympathy to the family of our best doctor Green. We were his patients, but we felt like his friends. We will miss him. The Kubiak Family.

My condolences to the Green family. I will miss Dr. Green's humorous and intelligent conversation. (I was a patient.) Best wishes.

While I was only blessed to see Dr.Green just one time, He left a truly
lasting impression on me, The list of
kindness from Dr. Green does not cease nor does it end with his Patient list. I hear a long string of kind deeds and a never ending list of good feelings that Dr. Green gave to everyone he touched. He will be missed for a long time to come. Thank
you for all the love Dr.Green

Dear Marilyn and Family, I was shocked to hear about what happened over the weekend. Our thoughts will be with you. Please take care of yourself. If you need anything, I'll be there. Joyce and Dean Katz

My most profound sympathies to Jeff's family. He and I were classmates at Roosevelt High School, class of Jan. 1966. I'm truly saddened by his untimely death.

Dr Green served me, my wife Carole, sons Steve and Bob. He truly cared for and about us. He also took the time to share his pride in the family that was his. May God comfort you. I will truly miss him.

My condolences to the Green family. Dr. Green will be truly missed!

Our hearts go out to the whole family. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you. Peace and love to you all. Patti Simon

Dr. Green saved pictures that my daughter, (When she was 3 y/o)drew of him working as a dentist. She was her only dentist in her life. He gave the pictures back to her when she made 21 years old....it meant so much to all of us..he was an asset to the human condition. There are no words to express how our family feels losing this friend. We will miss him dearly.



The Boyce Family

Our thoughts are with you and all your loved ones.

Pauline, Peter and boys ( Amanda's sister)

Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your Beloved Husband and Father.

Priscilla and Alfred (Amanda's Parents)

I was one of Dr.Green's very first patients. Not only was he a terrific dentist, he was a kind compassionate man and my husband and I considered him a frend. To Marilyn and his children, Tracy, Jordan and Blake, may your memories sustain you during these very difficult times. He loved you very much. We will miss him more than words can express. May G-d be with you. Love, Sandy and Bob Hanrahan

May the wonderful memories you will always have somehow ease the pain at this difficult time. May the angels sing to Tracy, Jordon, Blakie and to my dearest friend Mary Lou. I will be there to comfort your soul. We love you.

All my thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Dr.Green was the most wonderful person I ever had the pleasure of meeting. Having known him for over 20 years, to say that this is a tragedy would be an understatement. May you rest in peace my friend. All my love, Donna
