Christian Star Bids Goodbye to Slain Daughter

Posted May 25, 08 1:51 PM CDT in Arts & Living 

(Newser) – Christian pop star Steven Curtis Chapman and his family yesterday bid goodbye to his 5-year-old daughter in a memorial service that honored a little girl who loved to draw flowers and do dishes "buck naked," People reports. Maria Sue Chapman, one of three daughters Chapman and his wife adopted from China, was killed after her 17-year-old brother accidentally ran her over with an SUV.

"We had talked [with Maria] about what it meant to be with Jesus," Chapman said. "I had no idea how soon it was going to be, but we know she is in His amazing house."
