Little Maria Sue Chapman Laid to Rest
Christian singer Steven Curtis Chapman and family along with approximately 2,000 mourners gathered Saturday for the funeral of Maria Sue Chapman’s funeral in Nashville. Maria Sue was the youngest of 3 daughters Steven and his wife Mary Beth adopted from China.
5-year-old Maria was accidentally struck and killed by a car driven by her older brother at their home.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to the Chapman family during such a sad time.
Rest in peace little Maria.

Goodbye & Hello. These are two lessons for all of us in the Steven Curtis Chapman double tragedy where the youngest son accidentally kills the youngest daughter. How do you deal with such grief? With faith, hope, love, laughter. Laughter, yes. When they buried Maria Sue, the Chapmans laughed and cried. That explains my essay, which if you wish, you can read here: ‘Good Grief! Steven Curtis Chapman, please don’t be Sue-sad’ (http://frankahilario.blogspot.com/).
We can all learn from it. You may wish to read my new essay on the Steven Curtis Chapman tragedy, ‘From Grief to Grace’ – http://frankahilario.blogspot.com/
