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!

What god?
Didn't pray hard enough
Morons
LET IT GO!!! LET THEM GRIEVE IN PEACE YOU HEARTLESS ASSHOLE!

5th
Maybe she was a gay
And this is NOT gossip
A childs death is always sad and this is a very tough time for that family.
IMO this does not belong on this site, rather disrespectfull.
First bitches!!!!
wow
very sad
poor little thing
, so sad.
FIRST
May she rest in peace and my condolences go out to the whole family.
what a tragedy.
who is she ?
aww =(
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.
why does this crazy shit always seem to happen to christians?
DON'T POST THIS STUFF IT'S SO WRONG AND INSENSITIVE
LET THEM GRIEVE IN PEACE DON'T MAKE A FUCKING MEDIA CIRCUS OF IT
my heart goes out to her family
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.
what a tragic story! who cares what religion they are, any time a child dies it is sad. you people are pathetic
This is in bad taste. Please take it down.
ashley tisdale rocks
This must be the saddest story I've ever heard - jesus & god will be with her and her family since they are christians - iI wish the family strength through this very hard time.
.r.i.p.
which one is she?
That is sooo sad!!! My thoughts are with the Chapman Family!!!
omg thats so sad……:( poor maria. rest in peace
dirty jesus lover
aww, so cute
so sad. r.i.p.
WTF is this shit on your site? WTF is wrong with you?
second.
so sad.
Words cannot express how truly devestating this has probably been for this family. Pray to God for them to heal and have peace.
what happened to her?
YO WTF IS WRONG WITH U PEOPLE WHO POSTED B4 ME IT DONT MATTER IF IT NOT GOSSIP HAVE SOME FUCKING RESPECT THE LIL GIRL LOST HER LIFE AND IF U DONT LIKE IT DONT MAKE A FUCKING COMMENT LIKE THEY DIDN'T PRAY HARD ENUFF…… I HOPE U FEEL LIKE THAT WHEN A CHILD CLOSE TO U DIES… ASSHOLESSSSSSSSS…
This really is heartbreaking…
Settle down - - try to pretend to be respectful of human life.
"Simmer down" and behave, negative people.
(Something your parents should have taught you long ago)

Very sad. She was a beautiful little girl and I hope that her brother manages to make it through this and realize that it was an accident.
Its so tragic. She's with the angels now. I hope the family's strong faith helps them recover, especially her brother.
how sad =(
All for GOD fuckers, all for GOD
rest in peace, maria… we will miss you
the little girl is soo adorable…rip
is this how americans waste water? sad!
and sad for this little sweet girl, tragic death!
+
and by the way, god does NOT exist, its just a run away from the sad truth! GET IT ALREADY
This video made me cry… I remember hearing about his family adopting these girls.
It breaks my heart, and I'm praying for them.
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, what heartless comments. This man lost his daughter. SHOW SOME RESPECT!!! Damn I am starting to hate this website.
This is pay back for child fucking
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.
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?
This is truely tragic!! My youngest just turned five. I hope their faith will help them through this. I will pray tonight that the lord will be with this family and their son. XOXOXOXOXOXO
terrible and tragic. Pleae be kind with your statements out of respect for the little one.
that is so sad what happened to her…rip..
Re: mpt –
You didn't know her you inbred retarded fuck, I hate the way people act all connected when someone they didn't even know dies. Get a fucking life you loser piece of cat shit.
Sad…………..
The problem with running over your chinese sister, is that you feel like running over another one twenty min. later.
La vie est parfois tellement injuste…
thank you for posting this. sin in the world causes bad things to happen like this, not God.
So unbelievable sad…my thoughts are with the family and the poor son, who will undoubtedly be thinking about this day for the rest of his life…
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!

R.I.P. Maria

I feel bad for anyone who has lost a child
off you site
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.
can I adopt him to be my dad? R.I.P
He's gonna keep on taking children til you become better christians.
Retarded piles of runny shit.
The problem with running over your chinese sister is that you feel like running over another one in twenty min.
Re: Brandy –
Who gives a fuck about your stupid kid you nasty whore. Keep your legs shut and you slutty daughter too!
Re: audrey arellano –
It wasn't funny the first time you retard cunt
your attempt on picking words that are highly rated on google to get more visitors is sad! just like you
Re: mari –
Jebus hates you
I have a four yr old and I cannot imagine living life without her, I hope they make it through ok somehow.
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.
when they were alive, it would be so offensive that you post this stupid shit when they die…..
Re: christian –
Right, so he fucked his kid or what? Eat a bullet moron.
What a tradgedy, this is so saddening. My prayers go out to them.
this is so tragic.a 5 yr old child to die like that…i couldn't handle to see the whole video.may she rest in peace.very sad.
My heart goes out to the family. Steven is a gifted musician and his foundation to help families adopt has changed many lives. I pray for peace and strength for the family.
This was so sad. But even sadder was the poor brother that accidently hit her. How do you get over something like this. My prayers to him and his family. Stay strong.
Re: tragic – You'll see the truth one day…
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
How dare any of you take this loss of life as an opportunity to exploit your own point of views on religion.
I wish you no harm, but I am sure that the guilt will come sweeping over your heart and you will soon regret manipulating a child's death for your own sick agenda. Allow this family to grieve in peace, without having to defend their open faith.
Re: Brandy – Hopefully a lot more than he was yesterday.
PEREZ please remove this from your site. Reading what these heartless people are saying are is only pouring more salt in the wound. This tragedy does hit close to home for me as I work in the CCM industry.
You can hardly blame this site for putting that video out, the family have it on their website for the world to see. I CAN blame this site for not clearing up the revolting, bigoted and just plain warped posts on here. Get your act together Perez and show some humility.
This is the final straw. I will no longer be visiting your website. Go choke on a ham sandwich.
This kind of stuff doesn't only happen to Christians. It happens to everyone. Believing in God doesn't protect you from tragedy. That's not the way it works. However, believing in God helps you deal with tragedy. Believing in God gives life a greater purpose. I can only imagine how the Chapman family must feel. I know that God will give them grace and strength to get through this hard time. Everyone, please be respectful.
this kind of stuff doesn't just happen to christians, you know. what a ridiculous statement!
condolences to her entire family, this is a tragedy that should have never happened.
Its DISGUSTING how some of you fucking idiots used the comments on this tragic story TO ANNOUNCE YOU ARE AN ATHEIST. Well congratulations. You are fucking selfish assholes.
Re: audrey arellano – You have me laughing out loud at my desk. That was simply awful!!! Thank you!
i hope her little soul rests in peace…
beautiful girl, rest in peace
I have no idea who they are but its very sad. 2 years ago i attended the death of a child by road accident and it was the most horific thing ive ever had to endure in my career as a paramedic. Worsr=e as it was witnessed by his friends. It still pains me that i couldnt save him. Its the worse thing a parent could go through, especially if they were witness to the incident or the aftermath. for all of the heartless insensitive people who have left nasty comments Imagine if you were in the situation and it was your child/nephew/sibling that was lying there. How would you feel eh?
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY HIS DAUGHTERS ARE CHINKS?? CLEARLY, THEY WEREN'T HIS ANYWAYS, SO BIG DEAL, ADOPT ANOTHER, THERES BILLIONS OF THEM
Re: Your mom you stupid cunt – You asshole. People are showing some respect, like you should. Get a life loser.
RIP
Chapman posted this video on his own website today for all the world to see.
Why wouldn't he want to share this beautiful soul with the rest of the world??
God never promised a perfect life here on earth, and He doesn't show favoritism. He causes the sun to shine on us all and the rain as well.
Re: Rachel –
This video is posted on Steven's website. They wanted people to know their little girl
Re: audrey arellano – You need to hit your knees and thank God it wasn't your child, your sister or someone you love and that you aren't the sibling that has to live the rest of their lives knowing they did this you worthless, heartless little creep.
