Norma Boeckler Is Back Home - Clean-Up Starts Tomorrow

 The remains of the Wixom Lake Dam in Edenville look even worse in other photos. It emptied in one hour and passed through the Sanford Dam, inundating more area than all previous floods - except the Big One.
Norma Boeckler wrote to me on Facebook that her basement is totaled - furnace, appliances, paneling. Her upstairs was spared. The best news is that workmen will arrive tomorrow to begin the cleanup. She went through this in 1986 and three years ago.

"Ever the optimist, Norma said: "The one thing about living near the Tittabawassee River, I can look out my three-seasons' room and see the river all year long. The scene changes constantly. Ducks swimming on the river, the king fisher birds diving in the river to catch fish. And in the winter months, it's possible to see a fox cross the frozen river to visit the woods on the other side."



Norma Boeckler has illustrated my books and designed the covers, published her own art books and autobiography, and helped others publish their books. May God speed her home's restoration and help everyone in dealing with this man-made catastrophe. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
