Davetta was a beautiful, funny, loving, giving person and I cherish the years that she and I were "like" sisters. She was so good to me those many years ago. I will never forget her.
The photos you posted with this tribute truly show her beauty and sense of humor, and that is the way I like to remember her.
My deepest sympathy to Davetta's family.

I have fond memories of the fun we had at College Hill Elementary School and Jefferson Ave. Jr. High and particularly Junior Red Cross with Davetta. She was always a fun, genuine person. I feel fortunate that she brightened my life.
