CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Do you recognize Hadley and Gentry Eddings?
If you don’t recognize them, you might remember their story. This young Charlotte couple got in a terrible wreck in May of 2015. A distracted driver was to blame. They survived, but their 2-year-old son Dobbs, did not. Hadley was also 8-months pregnant. Their son Reed was born in the hospital, but died three days later.
There is no guidebook for how to navigate that kind of pain. Yet, Hadley and Gentry did so with grace, honesty and faith. Gentry, a pastor with Forest Hills in Charlotte, talked in raw terms about God leading them, and following whatever path he had them on for whatever might come next.
