To the Ridder Family: My family and I would like to express our deepest sympathy over the loss of Mrs. Ridder. May you find comfort in your loving memories and the warmth of family and friends. When we read Genesis 1:28 and 31, we find that sickness and death were not a part of God's original purpose. With this in mind, it is reassuring to know that our Creator plans to restore his original purpose and make it possible for all mankind (including loved ones we have lost in death) to live forever under perfect conditions. (Revelation 21:3-5; John 5:28, 29) It is our hope that these words bring you a measure of comfort during this difficult time. Once again, please accept our condolences as you deal with the loss of Mrs. Ridder and contemplate the hope of seeing her again.
