It is with a heavy heart and tremendous sadness that I sit here tonight with more tears than I can imagine at the loss of Davy Jones! The Monkees as a group and as individuals have had such an impact on my life. They were a salvation to a sad childhood for me. From way back I can remember watching the television show and enjoying them so much, but then my brother bought their greatest hits album and I was hooked. I would listen to that one album for hours!! My favorite Monkee has always been Peter, but Davy was always very special to me. How could he not be, he was so beautiful to look at!!! A very long time ago I ran a Monkees Fan Club and Davy was always so helpful in keeping us posted on what he was doing. This was back when we typed up everything, before computers (and spell check - I was horrible) and the internet. Davy and his wife would send me information to print in our newsletter. He was always so wonderful to his fans and appreciated them so much! Then in 1987 I had the pleasure of seeing Davy and then again in 1997 back stage at a reunion concert. He was so genuine and cared so much for everyone. I just can't imagine the world without him. Tonight my heart is with the Jones family, his daughters, wife and grandchildren.
