They are, of course, still reeling from this. Maria was one of their adopted children, btw. Last year, Steven's best friend (and wife) lost a child due to a still birth. Steven wrote a song just for them and though recorded, it's not published on an album. Scott (his friend) said, who knew that in Steven's love of reaching out to them, that he would later minister to himself and his wife.

One of Steven's favorite songs talked about not realizing how quickly children are "gone" and how appreciative he became of each day with them. He used to quickly give his 3 girls a bath, shampoo their hair etc and would hurry them along because he had other things to do. He noticed that as soon as the girls were dried, they ran to their room and put on their Cinderella dresses and would dance around, happy as larks. Thus the song about dancing with Cinderella.
