Gail & Jerry,
I don't have words enough to comfort you in this extremely difficult time. I do want to offer my condolences in the loss of your son, and a blessing that with time the pain will be lessened, the understanding be clearer, and your hearts be lighter by the 24 years of beautiful memories of your lives with him while he was here for his short time. Thinking of you with deepest sympathy and compassion. Kathy Martin Christian

To the Miles' family. I cannot begin to express my sorrows for your family. Jeremy was such a great person. Having lost my neice, Megan, one month ago, I understand how hard it is to accept and make sense of a tradegy like this, especially when one is so young. The only thing I can say to you right now is to stay close to God and he will see you through this sad time.

With Deepest Condolences,

Jennifer (Foster), Ken, Lauren, & Caitlin Schoemmell

Terri & the Miles family,
I was so sorry to hear about your loss. I know Jeremy will be greatly missed. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Gail & Jerry,
I used to work with you Gail at HDMC many moons ago. At that time I was Karen Mayton but have since then divorced and re-married. How well I remember Jeremy as a little boy when we worked together, but unfortunately had not seen him in years. I went to his myspace to see him after I heard the news. He was so very handsome and had done so much with his life. I know you were very proud of him. I can't even begin to imagine the pain you feel right now and I am sorry just isn't enough to say. You both are in my thoughts and prayers.

My only left handed cousin,
You and i shared some kind of bond. If it was from you joking on me all the time for being so young to messing with me because i always took what you said so seriously. Today at your funeral i cried so hard that my head hurt to the point where i couldn't cry anymore. Then i thought about the times we spent at the beach driving up and down beach road in nags head trying to find something to do. And spending time together at dinner joking on the waitress. and how you were there for me when i talked to you about Kevin dieing, you always seem to put a smile on my face whenever we talked.
You and I are the only left handers in the entire family, and that was something i loved to say to everyone when they joked on me about being a lefty. I placed an angel last night in your left hand and i have the other part of her wing so therefore we are connected forever *rather you wanna be or not* The family misses you everyday, i went to 7-eleven to get something to eat and an ambulance drove by with the lights on. I started crying and the woman behind the counter asked me what was wrong and all i could say was my cousin was a paramedic and he loved it. You have made me determined to get my EMT license and get started. We had always talked about me getting into it but i know that i could never compare to the love you had for every patient you had in your ambulance.
So today at your funeral you took your last ride and they made your last call, it hurt me to know that you weren't on this world anymore to help the ones that needed you the most, but someday i hope to continue where you left off. If only you realized how badly we all hurt and ache for your touch i think that you'd say "WTF was i thinking?" matter of fact I KNOW! you've TOLD ME! Someday i'll find peace with my self and you, but for now i think i'll stay angry at you like i would if you were here :)Brandon and I think of you everyday and it's hard to move forward when our hearts hurt so very much. I think we were so close because of my mom and your mom being so close together as sisters. When you came over and you sat on our couch and talked about how proud you were of your new jeep it made us all jealous, and you know it did! I just wish that we could go back to that day.

"You don't get over it, you just get through it. You don't get by it because you can't get around it. It doesn't get better, it just gets different. Every day grief puts on a new face."

Jeremy, know that i'm thinking about you and every tear i shed is because of you and how much i cared for you. Even thought i feel like i've lost part of my heart. I know you've got the other half and one day i'll see you again and get the rest of it!

I Love you So very much.
Tell Papa i said hey and i love him and hug him for me.

->Thank you everyone that attended the funeral and viewing, i'm not sure Jeremy knew how many people who loved him this very much. Gale and Jerry appreciate everything that everyone as done.
Love each and everyone of yall!

Gail and family~My thoughts and prayers go out to you! I couldnt imagine how your feeling right now. I hate that this has happened. I know you have a long healing process ahead of you. Know this I will be thinking of you guys and Jeremy will never be forgotten=) He loved you very much. I wish that this never happened.

Jerry and Gail,
I have fond memories of all the meals we used to share at Liz's Place & Giuseppe's Pizza when I would eat with Raymond, Jerry, Wayne and Jeremy while they were pulling rescue squad duty with Namozine. I remember how Raymond used to tease Jeremy (that was his way, you know). They are together now in Heaven and probably talking about EMS stuff. Please know how many friends love you two and hurt right along with you. Jeremy was a sweet "kid" and my granddaughter, Megan, who died in March, used to think he was "cute and cool" although she said "I'm too young for him." I was so touched by his obvious display of emotion when he responded to her home the morning she passed. May God give you both the comfort of wonderful memories and the love and support of your frineds. I am so sorry - please call me if I can do anything at all, or just sit with you.

God bless you!

Gail & Jerry,

Steve and I were saddened to hear about Jeremy. Our prayers go out to you and your family.

To The Miles Family,

My Name Is Donna Burroughs and I went to Dinwiddie High School with Jeremy. He was a very sweet person who touched alot of lives every where he went. I want to express my deepest sorrow for your lose, I know its hard sometimes loosing a child but just remember Jeremy is smiling down on you all and watching you from heaven. Keep your head high and I will keep your family in my prayers. I know it isn't much but I wrote a little poem if you want you can use it at Jeremys funeral I think it pretty much sums up alot of feelings. I'm sorry I cant make it to the funeral but I would much rather remember Jeremy alive and smiling. May God Bless you.

I'm Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path god laid for me.

I took his hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, or play.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tommarrow.

My life's been full, I savored so much
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seems all too brief
Don't lengthen it know with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now, he set me free...

Jerry and Gail, We are so sorry to hear about Jeremy. You are in our prayers.

Gale, Jerry,& Family, I don't know if I can say anything you want to hear right now, but my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I miss seeing and talking to you like we did at Harrison's. I pray that God will keep all of you really close and help you get through this. I have only heard good things about Jeremy and how he helped so many people. I never had the pleasure of knowing him personally. If I can do anything at all to help, please let me know.

We are so very, very sorry to hear about Jeremy's death and want you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We send our love and sympathy to the family and friends. Jeremy will be missed.

Gale, Words cannot express my sorrow for you and your family at Jeremy's passing. May you be comforted by the memories of all of the good things that Jeremy did to help others. I am sure that there are many that can attest to his professionalism and love for the challenging work
he did each day. May the Lord give you peace. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love, Becky Joyner

Gail, Jerry and family,
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Jeremy will be greatly missed. If you need anything dont hesitate to call.

Jerry & Gail,

My stepfather, Raymond, use to ride rescue out of Namozine with Jerry & Jeremy. He enjoyed it so much. Unfortunately, I do know what you are going through, and there are no words to comfort or help you right now, except, I am so sorry. Jeremy came the morning we lost our daughter, and I knew it was difficult for him, because he knew us, and so it was hard to maintain a professional distance. I thanked him later for helping us. Please know that while you want him back and ache for him, he will always be in your hearts, minds, souls and spirits. How well I know that even though we know these things, it does not ease the pain. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We will never forget Jeremy and I hope the out-puring of love from others will give you some measure of comfort.

With love and prayers,
Janeen Miller

To Jeremy's family,

I worked with Jeremy at A & B. I was always happy when I was scheduled to work with Jeremy. Although I am old enough to be his mother, we got along great.

He was so easy to get along with. He had a great laugh and made us all laugh a lot. He was dependable and good at his job.

I worked with him on 4/23 until 11 pm. We talked a lot that night. He took a picture of me and said how much he liked his camera and that he didn't use it enough. He talked about how he had taken the top off his jeep a day or two before and rode around, and how great he thought that was. He said he probably should have gotten a soft top though, because the one he had took three or four people to take it off without damaging anything.

He said that he finally had his dream job in Dinwiddie. But, he also wanted to become a flight paramedic in another year.

I teased him about texting while he was driving. He said, "Oh, I hold it up here (at the steering wheel) and just look at my messages." RIGHT!

I wish I could remember everything he talked about that night to relay to you. I'm sure you wouldn't mind hearing stories about Jeremy from others.

Jeremy was well respected and loved by many. He is sorely missed.

I am SO sorry for your tremendous loss. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

Dear Miles Family,
I was one of Jeremy's teachers years ago when he attended Grace Baptist School. How sad we were to hear of his passing. Please know that your family is in our prayers. May God give you the comfort and strength you need in the coming days.

We would like to express our deepest sympathy at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Miles family.

Our Thoughts and Prayers go out to the Family and Friends. We will miss Jeremy very much.
