God cares for the brokenhearted; Psalm 34:18 assures us that he is close to them. Psalm 147:3 says: "He heals the brokenhearted; He binds up their wounds". My heart goes out to the family of this precious baby. Please accept my sincere condolences. Always remember God loves you and he cares for you! (Psalm 36:7; 1 Peter 5:7) jw.org

Josalyn, Darius and the Cotton, Upchurch family and loved ones of precious little De'Andre have my deepest sympathy. No other pain will ever be greater than the pain of losing a child.
Isaiah 66:13a says: “As a mother comforts her son, so I (Jehovah Psalm 83:18) will keep comforting you.” Our loving heavenly Father, Jehovah God, promises us at Revelations 21: 4; "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore."
Jehovah invites you to throw all your burdens on Him and He will sustain you in your time of grief. (Psalm 34:18)
(2 Corinthians 4:18) "while we keep our eyes, not on the things seen, but on the things unseen. For the things seen are temporary, but the things unseen are everlasting."
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE
1. When eyes of blind ones see again
And ears of deaf ones hear again,
When deserts blossom as the rose
And from parched ground fresh water flows,
When lame ones leap just like the hart,
When loved ones never have to part,
Such blessed times you’ll realize,
If you keep your eyes on the prize.
2. When tongues of mute ones speak again,
When old ones will be young again,
When earth will yield her rich increase
And all good things will never cease,
When songs of children fill the air,
When joy and peace are ev’rywhere,
Then, too, you’ll see the dead arise,
If you keep your eyes on the prize.
3. When wolves and lambs will feed as one,
When bears and calves bask in the sun,
A mere young boy will lead them all,
And they will heed his childish call.
When tears belong to yesterday,
When fears and pain have passed away,
You’ll see how God these things supplies,
If you keep your eyes on the prize.
I pray you will find some comfort to please watch this beautiful video (Song 144) entitled "Keep Your Eyes on the Prize" https://tv.jw.org/#en/video/VODChildren/pub-pksn_24_VIDEO
Isaiah 26:19 "Your dead will live......And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life." Isaiah 25:8 "He will swallow up death forever. For Jehovah himself has spoken it."

My heartfelt condolences to the Cotton family. The loss of one so young is devastating. Our Heavenly Father knows your pain having lost his only son. What will he do? God resurrected his Son and he yearns to resurrect your loved ones too (Job 14:14,15). May the God of all comfort, give you strength that is sorely needed at this time. - (2 Corinthians 1:3). I hope these words give you comfort and peace at this difficult time. -Psalms 94:19

Dear Josalyn, Darius, and family… I am so very sorry to learn of your loss of De'Andre.
It's such a heartbreaking experience to lose a loved one so soon, but it may help to recognize that death is only a temporary part of life. Jesus promised us a wonderful resurrection of the dead at John 5:28,29 & 1 Thessalonians 4:13, 14, so we have the hope of being reunited with our deceased loved ones and seeing De'Andre light up the sky with his smile again. In the meantime, even though the pain of loss through death may seem insurmountable, rest assured that God will give you the strength that you need to endure the coming months (Psalm 46:1).
Please accept my deepest sympathy and sincere condolences and please do feel free to contact me.
You may find some support by visiting jw.org and searching 'comfort', there's sure to be something there to help you get through this period.

Josalyn, Daruis,Jackie, Tony, Chris and Phyllis.....I am so lost for words and sadden that this tragic accident has happened. I have had sleepless nights and great concern for all of you. I am still asking and believing God to give everyone a special touch that will suppress the hurt and pain in due time. I know it will never be the same but he chose Baby Dre for a reason. I honor you all for allowing everyone that has reached out to you and your family with heartfelt condolences to be apart of your grieving process because you are loved and will never be alone. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO DO HIS WORK... MUCH LOVE TO YOU ALL...

Offering our sincere condolences to the family. I am so very sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. No doubt this is a very difficult time for the family. Please find comfort in knowing that soon our Heavenly Father (Psalm 83:18) will give those who have fallen asleep in death the opportunity to live again (Acts 24:15) and serve him in a world under much better conditions than what we see today. (Psalm 37:29; Rev. 21:4,5) May these scriptures bring comfort and calmness of heart to you at this time. Please accept our deepest sympathy.

He touched so many lives with that beautiful smile and so friendly. I don't think he was ever met a stranger. S.I.P baby boy
