Oh, that is just awful. The poor brother must feel terrible. Let's all pray that they can get through it. Something like this can be a family-killer.
Brings me to tears...and prayers.
This certainly can split families. I once served on a jury where a mother was suing a father who had backed over their son and killed him. The boy's brother was in the vehicle with dad, and the mom (who divorced dad after the accident) was suing the father for the cost of therapy for the surviving brother, claiming it was his fault the boy needed the help.
The Chapmans needs to be covered in prayer for some time to come. They have given so much of their lives to the Christian music community. It's time to return a small portion of that to them.
Thank you for posting this, Michele.
Please also pray for those who will be caring for the Chapman family, and their home church. There is a need to ballance informing the congregation of events, while protecting their privacy, as they are, to some extent, a well known family.
That has to be just horrible, for the parents, and for the sibling who was driving. I wish their family the best during this time.
