Devona Lorraine Scheidemantle

I was born in Sharon Penna at the foothills of the Allegenie Mountains. My parents were divorced when I was three years old. We lived with my Grandparents. I don't remember being unhappy. We had a very loving home. My Mother married again when I was seven yrs old. He was a wonderful person and very good to us. I have a sister 5 years older then myself and a brother 16 mo. younger. My step father was from Decatur so we moved to Fort Wayne. We lived here for 2 years until my Grandmother became very ill so er moved back to Penna.I can remember all the Family get togethers always revolved around food and how miserable my uncles would be from overeating. We would laugh about it, everything is funny to kids. I was very small built and had no weight problem. I had a lot of friends and all the usual activites, Football + Basketball games, Sledding and Skating ad you can well imagine with all the hills around.

I remember telling my grandma 3 years ago, that she had to try this cake called Bumpy Cake by Sanders. I drove all over to many different stores to get one for her. Not a single store in Fort Wayne, Indiana had any idea what I was talking about.

I just found this message from my grandma to Sanders Coffee Klatch Forum
