Great-Grandmother Mallie’s Treasures:
...A Riddle...

So.. Did you come up with the correct answer to the riddle???
We received several answers from family members who thought that her Treasures were related to her artwork
because of the custom greeting card business that Mom and Sister Yvonne operate under the name of...
"Mallie's Little Treasures"
But a few of you found the True Answer...
***You are the Treasure that Great-GrandMother Mallie holds most Dear***

Great-GrandMother Mallie has written an original poem that tells us of the blessing
and of the responsibility that God has given to her and why we are her treasures.
You can find the poem at the link below.
All of us are her True Treasures.

And... I do mean "All of Us" because the list is long!
During the next weeks to come we will post charts and lists to show the names of all we who are descended from Great-GrandMother Mallie.
GrandMother has told us that she wants to be sure that everyone who is a part of her family will to be included in the lists.
..
This will include not only those in her direct blood line, but will also include spouses,
(present & former) of all children & grandchildren
and  will include all 'step' children and grandchildren as well.
She loves all of us and thinks of each one of us as her treasures.

"Hello Great grandma,

I wish I could be with you right now but I can't.  I hope we can visit again sometime.  I hope I Aunt Yvonne surgery went well.  I enjoy being with you and seeing your town. Someday I wish you could come to my house too. I really enjoyed looking at the pictures you gave me and all the cards you and Aunt Yvonne made.  I will have to give you some more pictures." 
Love, August Allen Kimbrell
