Nathan Michael Gentry

To all of the Gentry family - we're so sorry to hear about Nathan's passing. He was the sweetest little boy in Kindergarten choir at First Pres. My daughter, Michaela, and I, truly fell in love with him. I know that he's safe in heaven now. Missing him every day must be so painful. Please know that our love and prayers are with you at this sad time.

My prayers definately are with you and your family at this most difficult time. My son is 14 and was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma Dec. 5th, 2003.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your angel Nathan looking down on all of us. Our son Nicholas was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma on May 9th 2005 and is still trying to fight the beast.

Mike, Kathy, and the entire family,
We are so sorry to hear about Nathan.
Audrey is a classmate of Nathan's at Prairie Hills and spoke of him often. “Of the few boys, that were nice to me, he was the nicest”! “He also liked taco’s, like Miss Skiba.” We all pray and hope you and everyone who knew him, can find the joy that Nathan brought to this world, and pass a little on forward.
Thank You Nathan!

Love and deepest regrets,

Tim, Robin, & Audrey Richter

Luke, Susan and family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Nathan touched our lives and our friends' lives in a very special way. Our friends in St. Louis, our friends here in Canton, Il. and our many pastor friends from our home churches and from seminary have been praying for Nathan and also for all of you during Nathan's illness. Somehow, even those who had never met Nathan, felt as though they knew him and are mourning your loss, yet rejoicng as He is now resting in...
