Duane,

Linda was always a bright spot every day at work. She was always positive and had a great sense of humor. She is missed every day and I think of her often as I do you

I hope that as time goes by that the hurt has diminished

Linda May you rest in peace

Duane,

It’s hard to put in  words. Linda was very special. She would light up a room just by being there. Working with her for years gave me many memories.

Her kind soul and her laughter or something I will never forget. I hope this finds you well. Take care

Al

What a wonderful lady. I enjoyed our many talks about life and raising children.  She always had a smile on her face that brightens up a room every time she walked in.  My heart pours out to her family. We miss you very much.  My thoughts and prayers for her family!!!



 


I remember Linda in her early years.  She was a friend in my primary grades, as our parents knew each other and got together occasionally. She was in my 3rd grade class and already loved to read. Somehow these formative years are most fondly remembered as growing up in Muskegon Heights at that time is most memorable.  Walks to the library was somehow an independent venture and most enjoyable. Later, Charlene, Linda, and I became good friends. Now many hears later, I came across Linda on Facebook, a site Charlene convinced to to join so we could stay in touch once again. Linda always seemed to bring joy into my life by her witty contents that she would share; always bringing laughter to my day.  I'm certain that Linda will serve heaven well with her wit and charm. Farewell, Dear friend until we meet again. 

My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family. 

I have known Linda since we were 5 years old. We were in each others weddings because we were BFF.   We kept in touch always through the years. Forever ended on Dec 4th.   I am so devastated, I can’t
 imagine how Duane and family is?  You have my deepest Sympathy, Love and hugs.  The comfort in this,  is knowing we will see her again.  Jesus is the reason for this comfort.   Love you all.  Jeff and Char Hansen 

She was a wonderful lady and treated me like a second son back on Stoneleigh drive when Kevin and I were hanging out in middle and high school. She was so sweet and kind every time I saw her. 

 I am so sorry for your loss and praying for your family. 



Duane, 
I first met Linda Labelle when she hired me at Dean Transportation and then later met you teaching classes there. I shared many laughs with both of you.
 I later found out she lived within my neighborhood.
I'm glad the Holy Spirit moved me the day Carl and I visited you in Jackson School DIstrict and I commented to you that Linda Labelle was single and reminded you that you were also single, I mentioned  the same to Linda trying to play matchmaker. You Duane & Linda did the rest.
I was happy too whenever I saw you two walking in Linda and our neighborhood holding hands before she became Linda Kooyers. Carl & I celebrated your Marriage at your Reception.  You two made a lovely couple and whenever I hear your name Duane I will always 
think of Linda as well.  God Bless you and Linda's families & friends.

Love From Karen & Carl Lincoln


I worked with Linda for many years. 
She was always kind and lighthearted and loved life. There were many special times that we all had spent together over the years that I will never forget.

Duane,
I’m so sorry for your loss buddy. It’s been a while since we’ve connected but you guys have held a special place in my heart. I hope you can find peace in knowing what a good person you had been blessed to have in your life.

Dawn and Al Brink
