Our thoughts and prayers are extended to the families of Dorothy Lloyd, Marian Brower and Peter Graves. Thank you for sharing their lives with us. My name is Heather Taipalus.

I live in Norton Shores with my husband, our three daughters and our teenage nephew, who is a senior this year. Our spare time is always spent with the kids (Mallorie is 9, Paiton is 6 and Jordyn will be 2 this month) or at soccer games for my nephew, Logan. I recently took the new position as Clinical Care Coordinator and I am extremely excited for the new opportunity. Welcome to... John and Bev Bos F-23 Betty Marshall G-4

I have been a nurse for almost 17 years working in Nursing Homes primarily and one other Assisted Living Home. I knew I wanted to be a nurse since I was a little girl and went to MCC right after high school for my Nursing degree. I was a CNA for 3 years and that began my love for the elderly. I love helping people and knowing at the end of the day I have made a difference. I am from Montague and grew up with a big family and now have a large family Alicia Douglas of my own. I have a wonderful Fiance Greg who is the love of my life. Together we have 7 children with 4 of them at home full time. I love watching my kids play sports and being involved in their activities, we are always on the go. I enjoy being at the beach in the Summer every chance I get. I also enjoy fishing, camping, going to the parks and taking my kids on adventures. If I ever have any spare time I enjoy scrap booking, taking pictures of my family and yard sales!! I enjoy working with all of you at GPAL and have made lots of great friends.
