Anniversary Message

Please help me solve my Anniversary Message to my wife:
Each letter stands for a different number.

    D A V E		
+ L O V E S
-----------
  C A R O L
                  

Solution to the Problem:

9028 + 51287 = 60315
9028 + 41286 = 50314
5178 + 26784 = 31962
9037 + 51378 = 60415
4187 + 26875 = 31062
4087 + 26875 = 30962
6185 + 24857 = 31042
6085 + 24857 = 30942
9064 + 21648 = 30712
2154 + 79543 = 81697

This was our 47th Anniversary!

Note to self: Making up a cool cryptarithm for your anniversary is not a substitute for buying a present...
