In Memoriam

Filed under: R.I.P.

Watching this video of Steven Curtis Chapman's tragically departed 5 year old daughter, Maria, is heartbreaking.

She seemed like a beautiful spirit.

Thankfully, this video exists and her memory lives on!

    Re: God hates you or… – Fuck you you sick mother fucker…. This is a child who has been accidently killed…How can you say something like that? If you had a child and something like this happened and some douche bag made a comment like yours, it would break you heart……YOU'RE A WASTE OF SPACE.

    You guys need to get a clue. I used to work for SCC and his family…never before have I met a more anchored, loving, devout and faithful family. This video blog brought tears to my eyes. My thoughts and prayers go out to Steven, Marybeth and the rest of the family.

    I am disgusted at some of the comments here, this was an inocent child and she and her family do not deserve this.

    PEREZ, you should show some respect and remove this whole post or at least the comments.

    "Thankfully, this video exists and her memory lives on! "

    …………….because we all know that a video can replace the life of a beautiful child. That just won the award for the saddest comment ever.

    Settle down - - try to pretend to be respectful of human life.

    "Simmer down" and behave, negative people.

    This video made me cry… I remember hearing about his family adopting these girls.

    It breaks my heart, and I'm praying for them.

  47. let her rest in peace says – reply to this
    47

    You're cold and disgusting to put this video on her. Let the family grieve and stop thinking about your wallet for once. You are truly loathsome Mario.

    Wow some of the comments here are just insane. A child has tragically died and some of you think its a big joke. It wouldn't be a joke if this were your family.

  51. Why? says – reply to this
    51

    Why would you do this? How heartless and invasive can you be? These people just lost their child and you do this? We have no right to see this and no need. How dare you capitalize on such heartbreak? Do you even have a soul?

    i've been a fan of SCC since i first gave my heart to Jesus - 19 years ago .

    there are just no words to describe the pain and sorrow over this tragedy.. but SCC is one special soul.. i know him and his family will endure.. w/ the help of our Savior.

    thank you perezito, for honoring her memory.. you're also be in my prayers..

    much love!

    A child's death is not appropriate "gossip" for this piece-of-shit website. Parents grief lasts a lifetime when a child dies. You're a real piece of work, Mario.

    most of these comments are so disrespectful. think of the family and what they are going through before you post your comments. sin causes bad things to happen to people, not God.

    My deepest condolences go to her family, being Christian they can understand that God has a plan for everybody, whether it is here on his Earth or in Heaven, where this girl is now, even thoguth it is so hard for them.

    I just don't understand how things like that happen..sometimes I think when we are born our future is already mapped out..there's no changing it no matter how you try….(remember The Butterfly Effect)….God Bless his family…and my prayers our with them…. in this time of need
