Guest Book

Dear Dr. Charles and Elaine's Relatives, my sincere condolences to you and friends. I worked with Elaine at Deutsche Bank fka Bankers Trust Company in New York. She was well liked and sometimes people within the bank would call her Shirley (that's me). I'm not as fashionable as Elaine but I do share an easy smile as her. Dr. Charles, I knew your name even before speaking to you. After Elaine and I retired, we spoke of our dental needs, and she was proud to name you as her dentist and happy that she didn't have to worry about finding a good one. I will miss chatting with her especially on her "upcoming" birthday. May Elaine rest in eternal peace and may everyone be safe during our pandemic experience. Regards, Shirley Subianto.
