MARIA SUE CHAPMAN, DAUGHTER OF STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN, DIES IN ACCIDENT AT FAMILY HOME
NASHVILLE, TN...5/21/08... At approximately 5pm on the afternoon of Wednesday May 21st, Maria Sue Chapman, 5 years old and the youngest daughter to Steven and Mary Beth Chapman was struck in the driveway of the Chapman home in Franklin, TN. Maria was rushed to Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital in Nashville, transported by LifeFlight, but died of her injuries there. Maria is one of the close knit family’s six children and one of their three adopted daughters.
More than five years ago, Chapman and his wife MaryBeth founded The Shaohannah’s Hope Ministry after bringing their first adopted daughter, Shaohannah, home from China. The ministry’s goal is to help families reduce the financial barrier of adoption, and has provided grants to over 1700 families wishing to adopt orphans from around the world. Chapman is a five-time GRAMMY ® winner and 54-time Dove Award winning artist who has sold over 10 million albums and garnered 44 No. 1 singles.

That is absolutely heartbreaking Shauna. I got chills when I read the news and I felt a huge onslaught of emotion thinking about what they must be going through as a family. Thanks for sharing the news. I will be praying for them. Go hug Kylee tight and give her a big kiss.
I heard this news at 2 A.M. Thursday morning after it happened and I immediately wanted to call & tell you. This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to keep Landry & Lawson locked up for at least the next 30 + years. As hard as it is to hear, our kids ARE actually only ON LOAN to us for a season. Whether that is for 9 & 1/2 months, 5 years or 30.....That is the tough stuff of life. Of course I am praying the prayer of a mother that has had to "return" one. The 'wound' on our hearts does not ever disappear, but rather it just gets ' less fresh' - that is what I pray for them - that Our Father will touch their hearts and take away the sting soon. Yah, ...(SIGH) give my niece a squeeze & a smooch for me.
Couunting our blessings - for they are many...
Aunt Rhea
