Duisterhof family,
I was so saddened to read of the passing of both of your parents so close together. However, they lived their lives so together and now will be together forever with God. They always made everyone feel so welcome in their home. They were the best host/hostess! They will be missed by many!
God Bless you all.
Jane (Cornette) and Stan Smeed

Mr. and Mrs. Duisterhof were some of the kindest people I was fortunate to meet and spend time with along with their beautiful family while attending college in Michigan. I will always cherish the wonderful memories of my time spent with them. They welcomed me into their family while I was thousands of miles away from mine. They will remain forever in my heart! My prayers are are with you all!

Meryln's Family, My sincere condolences to the family. I was a classmate of Meryln's at Delton School and knew her sister Marg. So sorry for the loss of your parents so close together. (Please tell Marge Hi for me. I will be known by her as the switch board operator at Banfield Telephone Co. when her in-laws were the managers and again I am so sorry to have lost a terrific classmate. In love, Geraldine Peake (Stampfler)

Merlyn was an outstanding woman of God! She shared His love in constantly giving to others.
Steve, Julie, and Tom, your mother was a joy to know. We loved her too.

Ahhhh, Merlyn...what a sweetheart! I met Merlyn at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts years ago. We were in a pottery class together. I'll never forget the day she brought me a whole apple pie! She was a lovely soul.

We are so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful woman, wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She will always have a special place in our hearts. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Hoping that Merlyn's passing won't dim the spirit of the Christmas season for all who miss her.

Dear Gordon & family:
I'm very saddened to read of your loss. Merlyn was a JOY and a great gal.
May memories of happy times help assuage the pain of her passing. I promise to say a prayer for her soul and for the comfort of all who miss her.
Sympathetically,
