JoAnne and Bernie were our neighbors at Leisure Creek Condominium and we attended the same church since 2018 at Byron Center Bible Church. My son David VanNoller was living across the street on 60th St. and Eastern Ave. from the American House last August 2024 when he called the Fire Department and went over to help the Residents where JoAnne was living and since she moved to Holland. Now the American House is gone. I had planned on visiting her but failed to do so and hope to see her in Heaven with her kind husband Bernie also. Wilma Forsythe
