For many years I've tried to duplicate Mrs. Shuman's chocolate cake--she was so gracious to share the recipe but I think she just had that magic touch! Thinking of you all during this difficult time and praying for comfort and peace for you. I know you were all the light of her life. Love, Suzanne David's sister in law
