      I thank God for the blessing to have served with you twice! In Norfolk and San Diego,
      The USS Puget Sound AD-38 and the USS McKee AS41. We had the best of times! I remember when my daughter was little she would always say; “I want to be tall like auntie Dominique”, well she grew to be 6″ feet tall… lol
      I love you Sis and I’m thankful your at peace.❤❤❤To your family, I want to say thank you for sharing Dominique with us!

    My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with Dominique’s daughter and family during this difficult time. I saw her about a month ago and we laughed and talked. I had no idea that moment would be my last time ever seeing her again. She will be truly be missed!

      To the family, I’m so sorry for your Loss. Dominique was a dear friend of mine, my Shipmate. Dominique I’m sorry I couldn’t keep in touch. You were my first friend on the Yellowstone. We had lots of fun partying at Langley AF, etc.. I learned that you don’t have to see or talk to someone for them to remain in your heart. Even though I missed you before you passed, it hurts because I feel no closure but I know your heart was good and you understood. I pray that everyone keep in touch and hug your loved ones as much as possible. I know you Dominique is going to rest in peace, I don’t have to tell you that. Hooyah! Angel

    My friend! I’m just learning of your passing as I looked you up and learned you passed on in 2019. We reconnected in 2014 after not hearing from each other since I flew out of Buffalo, NY for Basic/AIT at Ft Sill, OK. I stopped over to visit you and met your family. Yall lived in an apartment complex. This was in Feb1986. You told them that you would probably join the military and eventually did. We first met in Job Corps, Delaware Valley JCC, Callicoon, NY. We talked all of the time during those days as I was from Rochester and you were from Buffalo. I’m 6’3″ and you were as well, so, we looked good together. We both knew back then that we didn’t belong there. We were both too advanced and well-read. I left and you stayed for a few more months. Again, we reconnected in 2014 as I was caring for my dying Dad and you comforted and encouraged me during those times. You invited me to visit you and I never got that time. You informed me that your brother passed away and that was tough for you. We had one last conversation over the phone in 2016. I made attempts to contact you in 2021 you passed on in 2019 and I didn’t know it. Well, my friend, I’m beyond saddened. I have cried and cried since knowing this reality. We loved each other and I will always love you, Dom. I will find your mansion and come visit you once I’m gone.
