A Charlotte pastor and his wife, whose two sons were killed in a car crash in 2015, have two new blessings.
Gentry Eddings, a pastor at Forest Hill Church in Ballantyne, and his wife, Hadley, welcomed twin boys to the world Monday.
Isaiah Dobbs and Amos Reed were born healthy and happy.
The boys' middle names, Dobbs and Reed, are the names of the Eddings' late sons.
The couple announced to their congregation in January that they were expecting twins.

In May, 2015, a car crash killed two-year-old Dobbs, while Hadley was still pregnant with Reed.
She underwent an emergency C-section, but Reed did not survive.
Matthew Deans, 28, was sentenced to 27 to 32 months in prison after the truck he was driving rear-ended Hadley's car on Highway 17 in Pender County.
Deans pleaded guilty and apologized to the Eddings in an emotional court hearing in September 2015.
The couple publicly announced that they forgave Deans.
