For those who haven't heard... We found out while we were on the cruise and it definitely gave us a reality check.
Maria Sue Chapman (2003-2008)
Maria
Sue Chapman, adopted and youngest daughter to Mary Beth and Steven
Curtis Chapman, was killed Wednesday night in a tragic accident in the
family driveway on Wednesday evening. She was LifeFlighted to
Vanderbilt Children's Hospital but for only reasons God can explain she
went home to Him... not to Franklin as we all so desperately wanted.
Your
prayers are needed for all in the Chapman family. This is a family who
has so generously loved and given to so many. Just hours before this
close knit family was celebrating the engagement of the oldest daughter
Emily Chapman, and were just hours away from a graduation party marking
Caleb Chapman's completion of high school. Now, they are preparing to
bury a child who blew out 5 candles on a birthday cake less than 10
days ago. These words are unthinkable to type. And yet we trust in a
God who was not surprised by this and because of Jesus I am certain
through faith in Him we will see Maria again. - Jim Houser (Manager)

I cried. It's still so hard to believe - so tough on this incredibly close and special family. Jim's blogs have been great - keeping us up to date on prayer needs. He's a top bloke. The posts about the memorial service are beautiful. Agonising. But beautiful.
