My story begins in the Christmas season of 1923 and has continued through three generations. This story was told to me by my grandmother and my mother and, until now, has only been told verbally over the past years. Almost every person listening to the story and viewing or holding my treasure suggested that I write a book with a picture so my story can continue to be passed on to future generations. My treasure is a unique and unbelievably magnificent gift from God. I do know there is no man or machine in this universe that can manufacture my treasure.

As the caregiver and author of this book, I have come to realize the many blessings and miracles in my life are gifts from God. It is my sincere wish that the readers of this book will realize the blessings and miracles God has placed in their lives as well and know that God responds to all prayers in His fashion and timeline. I am so honored and excited to be given the opportunity to tell this story. My treasure will be one hundred years old in the Christmas season of 2023.
