Steven Curtis Chapman's daughter Marie was killed!
OMG I am in tears over this. She was so young, so beautiful. It's breaking news but seems that the older brother ran over her with the SUV in the driveway. I am just sick over it...they are such a wonderful family that supports adoption. Prayers are going out to them tonight.

I just heard this myself on the news, my heart is hurting. He has been such an inspiration to me through his musics and his heart for adoption as well as his unshakeable faith. I know that will get him through this. For all of us members of the body of Christ, lift this family up....Susie

yes, this is a tragic accident and I will be praying for the family also, especially though, the older brother who was driving. I cant even imagine the pain of that.

It's terrible but I have read over the years of numerous accidents where folks in SUVS end up accidentally killing young family members. Still it doesnt lessen the sadness and pain of this family tragedy.

Oh, this is horrible. For those who don't know, this is the family that founded Shaohanna's Hope -- and they help fund adoptions. This is so very tragic and sad. This family is strong, but need our prayers.
