We’re so sorry we couldn’t be at the Memorial Service in person but watched it from Denver. Kirk and Craig did a beautiful job with the tribute and prayer for Sarah. It summed up what a faithful life she led and gave her all to her family (both near and far). I am so grateful that I got to spend every summer with her on your trips to Denver. I will especially remember my trip to Grand Rapids with Grandma Klap when I was 12. Peace be with you all.

Sarah will be missed so much. She was always so sweet and thankful for everything when we would help her. I will really miss seeing her smiling face every day.

My deepest sympathies to the entire Riddering family. Your mother and grandmother was such a sweet, precious lady. I’m so happy I had the privilege to get to know her a little bit and love on her. Her sweet smile lit up the room. She touched my heart and I know many others too! Praying you will feel the Lords grace, strength and peace as you go through the difficult days ahead. You all are an amazing family that she was so proud of! I understand why! Your care for her was so loving and special..😊
