SAFETY HARBOR, Florida (AP) -- Terri Schiavo's former husband has married his longtime girlfriend, friends and family members say.
Michael Schiavo and his longtime girlfriend, Jodi Centonze, were wed Saturday at a church in Florida. The bride's brother says it was a very emotional ceremony.
Schiavo's former wife, Terri, had suffered severe brain damage more than a decade ago and died last March after her feeding tube was removed.
Michael Schiavo had argued his wife was in a vegetative state, and would not want to be kept alive artificially.

The newlyweds first met in a dentist's office and began a relationship after Terri Schiavo was already in a nursing home. They have two young children.

Michael also convinced me during that interview. I almost hurled when he talked about how much he enjoyed killing his own parents.
What are you babbling about? I have no false god. Are subtly suggesting that you hate God? Why don't you just come right out and say it, instead of playing these silly games? Whatever problems you have are your own. Don't try to drag me into it.
Is there anyone one the opposing side that you haven't smeared with your false god and your twisted theology?
Wrong. The autopsy proved she was not brain dead. But don't let the facts get in your way.
And as for the insurance money, he spent it all on her care.
You're 0 for 2. Maybe you should check out the facts before you spread any more rumors.
As for letting the parents take care of her, I believe, she wouldn't have wanted to live her life out that way either.
I think it's a pretty safe bet that she didn't want the disabilities inflicted on her, but that's a far cry from wanting to be tortured to death for it. Evidence presented in court indicates she would not have wanted to be killed. Three strikes!
Why are you still babbling the same nonsense? Would you like someone to call a nice doctor for you?
Terri was never a freak. There is something wrong with anyone who saw her as a freak.
Anyone? Just one person...Is there anyone one the opposing side that you haven't smeared with your false god and your twisted theology?
WARNING, there is a pretty gruesome anti-abortion poster among them.
Click on the link above that says, Terri Schivio's (sic) Easter Sunday. Maybe some of it will look familiar, they look like pretty obsessive fanatics to me (sarcasm). Some excellent photos there. Click on the smaller pictures and larger ones will show up.
I don't know what my sign would have said as I'm usually pretty quiet about these things, but it would have said something. We shall go rejoicing bringing in the sheaves. That song is going through my head. Haven't thought of it for ages.
Are you going to continue making false accusations? I know from experience that's a silly question. Of course you're going to continue lying. It's what you do. You try to smear others by lying about them. You also use your irrelevent lies as a tool to derail the thread. Grow up.
Yeah, just like, strictly speaking, my belief in gravity is an opinion, but like I said before, until I have to pick myself up off the ceiling...
Since evidence doesn't possess mass, it cannot have literal "weight", and therefore it cannot be asserted as a fact that the evidence one way or the other is "weightier".
Please. Do you not understand metaphor? I have to believe you do since your post used the phrase "grounds of dispute." Do you believe that disputes stand on literal ground? (Note: My use of the word "stand" here is metaphorical)
His assertions concerning his motives cannot be accepted without corroborating evidence, which was not forthcoming.
Statements which Terri Schiavo made which do support the relief sought by her surrogate (Petitioner/Guardian) include statements to him prompted by her grandmother being in intensive care that if she was ever a burden she would not want to live like that. Additionally, statements made to Michael Schiavo which were prompted by something on television regarding people on life support that she would not want [a] life like that also reflect her intention in this particular situation.You obviously cannot read. I never used the word "murder". I did use the word "kill", which is literally true: he sought, and won, a court order to terminate her life....Buy hooked on phonics. You'll learn that "K" says "kuh, kuh," as in "killed," not "muh, muh" as in "murdered." Then re-read my post, and notice that the word I used started with "K". When you finish the rest of the alphabet, you'll be able to figure out what word I actually used. Good luck to you.Also the statements she made in the presence of Scott Schiavo at the funeral luncheon for his grandmother that "if I ever go like that just let me go. Don't leave me there. I don't want to be kept alive on a machine" and to Joan Schiavo following a television movie in which a man following an accident was in a coma to the effect that she wanted it stated in her will that she would want the tubes and everything taken out if that happened to her are likewise reflective of this intent.
The court specifically finds that these statements are Terri Schiavo's oral declarations concerning her intention as to what she would want done under the present circumstances and the testimony regarding such oral declarations is reliable, is creditable and rises to the level of clear and convincing evidence to this court.
Why don't we quote your post in full?
Anyone whoNow, if Michael Schiavo was acting in accordance with Terri's wishes, then what about that makes him a low-life? Or could it be that you were assuming that he was not acting in accordance with her wishes when he asked to have the feeding tube removed? What would we call having Terri's feeding tube removed in spite of her wishes? Muh, muh, murder?re-marries after losingkills a loved one is a lowlife?Um, yeah.
You're referring to the hypothetic choice between amputation and death. The same choice that has resulted in about 350 American troops' lives being saved in Iraq. In their cases, it wasn't hypothetical. Many of them have also suffered traumatic brain injuries. You'll get no argument from me that their lives have been a greater value to America than the average housewife's life has been, but that's not a valid excuse for murdering the average wife who has such injuries.
100? 1,000? Infinity? Even the autopsy didn't convince these people of the dishonesty of her family. Nothing will.
You gave some valid arguments against keeping dead bodies hooked up to life support. You addressed that issue exclusively, until...
I would not feel this way if Terri had a chance to live the kind of life she could enjoy and participate in...
You made an awfully swift jump from being opposed to keeping dead bodies hooked up to life support, to advocating the killing of non-dying people because the quality of their lives doesn't meet your standards. How does that square with your claim that you do not believe a living human should be put to death?
What a sad time for our nation, and for Terri's family even more.
Again, nobody has answered my question. After Michael received a settlement over a million dollars, after he had convinced a courtroom that Terri would want to live, exactly WHEN did she tell him that she wanted to die?Please answer this simple question!
PS-It was my own friend with anorrexia, please reread my comment. And, no, no one confirmed that Terri had had bulimia at any time.
I know this isn't what you're talking about specifically, but it does make me wonder where Sarah Scantlin's soul was before she "emerged from her coma-like state" last February. Was she dead for those twenty years, or was she alive? She was considered to be in worse shape than Terri, and for a longer period of time. The difference being that no one was trying to have Sarah's feeding tube removed from her, so that put her in better shape than Terri. Did God take her soul with Him and then return it to her body when she became "cognizant" again? Or is she living without her soul right now, because God already took her soul when she was PVS, and He doesn't need it to be with her body? I'm sooooo confused!! How does everyone else keep it all straight?!!
If you are unhappy, change. It's that easy you say???Well, TERRI didn't get to change Hospices or go somewhere else now did she? She was STUCK THERE.
She was STUCK IN A BAD ONE THAT WASN'T LICENSED FOR CHRONIC CARE. It was Medicaid Fraud. Hospice Woodside - George Felos was its director until Terri came along. It was all arranged. An arranged death.
Hildy:
I'm not getting into this lunacy again...I never learn my lesson...the facts never matter to you people...so...goodbye.
FV stated facts. If you can't dispute them, just have a hissy fit and run away. We understand.
Do I really need a sarcasm tag?
The autopsy report proved Terri did not have bulimia.
