Please Pray for the Gentry family!!

Wyatt Gentry, 14 years old, died today from an accidental gun shot wound to the head. From what we know Wyatt was home, had gone outside (they own alot of property) to do some target shooting. He apparently had some sort of accident and his older brother and his mom found him! Please pray for this family during this very tragic time...They are a wonderful Christian family and I know they are completely devastated by Wyatt's sudden death. We have known the Gentry's since before Wyatt was born...and although we have not seen them in a few years, we have kept up with them through mutual friends. We are just heartbroken and saddened today over hearing the news of Wyatt's death. Chase and Wyatt danced every dance at Nathan and Hester's wedding, November will be 8 years ago. Such a sweet memory of a wonderful boy!! Again please keep this dear family in your prayers, especially for Wyatt's brother and mother to be able to get the image of finding him out of their mind.

Lord, I come to you now asking you to be with this dear family Lord, they love You and I am asking that You wrap Your arms of love around them, comfort them like only You can Lord. I pray specifically for Levi and Renee, Lord I ask that you take this image from their minds allow them to only have wonderful, special memories of Wyatt. I pray for Sam and Kelsey as well. I know that this is a family that loves You Lord and has put their faith and trust in You, so I ask You to give them peace, knowing that Wyatt is with You, safely in the arms of his Lord. We thank You Lord for Wyatt and his life...thank you for his family, be with them now and comfort them. I pray Lord that all we say and do will be honoring to You! Amen

As a close friend of The Gentrys your facts are wrong. Levi and Renee were both home. Levi was sleeping, as was Renee.

I apologize that my facts were "wrong"...this is what I was told by their pastor's daughter~ I wasn't trying to offend anyone, just wanted to send out a request to pray for the family!
