Devon in Heaven (ePub)

Patricia Louise Newnum, commonly referred to as Patti, was born as Patricia Louise Kelley in Indianapolis, Indiana on January 27, 1942. Patti has indicated she had a happy childhood living in and around the city. Her memories included living near Brookville Road and Post Road where her mother and step-dad ran a small filling station. One of her fondest memories there included where she said, "I slept behind the candy counter."
Later, as Patti approached her mid-teens, she decided she was going to be married to Alvin Pitts. Patti, and Alvin were married three days after she turned 16 years old. They had three children: Alvin Joseph, Steven Louis, and Patricia Yvonne, commonly referred to as Angel.
Patti was in a high school choir right before her marriage. Whether the choir conductor wanted to encourage her to stay in school or for whatever reason, Patti understood her to say, "You will never be able to sing parts." Nothing could have been further from the truth! Patti later started her family Gospel groupt harmony. They sang often at Wheeler Mission along with several other places around Indiana, travelling as far as Illinois. She also has sung with other Gospel groups, singing solos, to many people for over 50 years.
At the age of 23, Patti heard someone reading from the Bible, and it seemed to make more sense to her · than before. She then got up, walked up the stairs to her room, and told Jesus, with somewhat an indignant attitude, "Jesus, if You're real, let me know You better than I know anyone or anything else." Patti said she left that room a completely different person.
Near the time Patti was working for a sales advertisement paper, she became friends with Sandy and her daughter, Jessica, who happened to be one of her co-workers. Only too soon, she became aware that Jessica had tragically lost her son, Devon, after being run over by an automobile. Sandy {Memaw), Jessica, and her sister, April, showed great faith in dealing with such a terrible loss.
