IT'S NOT FOR SISSIES (working title) - Here Miggy affords us a glimpse into the world she has lived in for the past eight years; an honest slice of life offered up to readers, old and young to understand what the inside of her senior citizen world is really like. It lays bare the ongoing emotional drama of fears and prejudices that often tear apart families as they enter this period of life. Perhaps it will help us all make more wise decisions for our own loved ones, lighten up and laugh a little as we try to extend a loving hand to God’s pilgrims on what often appears to be a never-ending journey. It is a candid view of the hilarities and indignities of life in a retirement facility with more than 200 other seniors. Frank, honest and disarmingly candid slices of life on the compound. Look for it soon.

This tells of the founding of a home and school for mentally and physically challenged students. Melmark ‘s founded in Melissa; Melissa proved to be the bright-eyed pathfinder that led the Krentels to found Melmark School. “The cold grim reality of the doctor’s words was as sterile as the hospital room where Miggy Krentel had given birth just the day before. Even as the inevitable flood of questions engulfed her, Miggy knew that there would be no easy answers. This is the chronicle of a pilgrim family traveling through the darker valleys of life, a witness to God’s faithfulness to His children in the face of apparent tragedy. It is the poignant story of the founding of Melmark, a home and school for the physically and mentally handicapped in Pennsylvania. "The home that love built." Still thriving and very much on the cutting edge, Melmark continues to expand as horizons for those who face limits not of their own making.” |
