Dovie was never without a smile when I knew her in 1968 at Fort Carson CO. Her husband, David, was in the same helicopter unit as my husband while serving in Vietnam. I have such fond memories of her, David and little David. Little David could sing A Bridge Over Troubled Waters without missing one word. He was such a cute little boy and so darling. Rest in Peace dear Dovie. I will cherish always our short, but wonderful, friendship from so many years ago.

Dovie was very special to me. We met in the eighth grade and were steadies through ninth and tenth grades. She was my first love and we shared many special events. I was fortunate to have her in my life during those high school years. We visited at reunions and I was looking forward to seeing her at our 60th class reunion this summer. You couldn't find a nicer, more caring person. I know she will be missed by many.
