R.I.P. Maria Sue Chapman

On Wednesday afternoon, the five year old daughter of Christian music artist Steven Curtis Chapman was accidentally struck by the family SUV as her older brother backed out of the driveway. They buried Maria yesterday, about two weeks after her fifth birthday. I can't imagine how the family could be dealing with this loss, especially when they were also celebrating their oldest daughter's engagement and their oldest son's high school graduation. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers over the coming weeks.
