    Parents of Jeremiah Praylor, ,i don't know you personally but I am a parent. What can i really say except that i want to extend my sincere condolences in the loss of your son. Losing a loved one is always difficult, but when it is your child, it is heartbreaking!! May your family,friends and most of all Almighty God be with and comfort you in the days and months ahead. (Isaiah 41:10, 13; Psalm 83:18; Rev 21:4) Please try to get the brochure, "When Someone You Love Dies" (jw.org). It was a tremendous help for me during my time of lost. Again, my condolences and prayers for your family.

    Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of your dear love one. A scripture that has given me much comfort is Revelation 21:4 which promises that one day death will be no more. I hope this scripture brings comfort to your family during this difficult time.

    We're so sorry to hear you are grieving the loss of your dear loved one. May you find strength and some comfort in the words found in Nahum 1:7 which reads: ”Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of distress. He is mindful of those seeking refuge in him.” Our loving God cares about us and is ready to bring us comfort if we allow him (1John 5:14). He also has made the provision of a resurrection RIGHT HERE ON EARTH when it is restored into a beautiful paradise. Can you see yourself welcoming back to life your dear loved one? Find out more about this resurrection online at JW.ORG
