For Immediate Release – 05-14-05 12:00 PM (GMT-5)Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation urges wife of disabled Jacksonville man to err on the side of life
Clearwater, FL – The volunteers with the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation, along with the family of Terri Schiavo, are urging Jacksonville, Florida resident, Eliza Thomas, to allow her 34 year old husband to live.
The Foundation has learned that Scott Thomas suffered brain injury in September of 2004 and has since been incapacitated and dependent on others. His mother, Pamela Patton, has petitioned the courts for guardianship of the disabled man and was awarded a temporary guardianship which could expire as early as June 3, 2005. Mr. Thomas’s wife, Eliza, is currently seeking to take his guardianship over.
Ms. Patton is currently pursuing neurological testing and treatment options with a Clearwater, Florida neurologist, Dr. William Hammesfahr.
Mrs. Thomas, however, has reportedly stated that her intention is to move her husband to the Community Hospice of Northeast Florida and seek the authority to direct the removal of his gastric feeding tube, causing his death by dehydration and starvation.
According to Ms. Patton, her son speaks a limited vocabulary, gives affirmative and negative hand signals and has successfully answered questions of where he lives, where he attended school and his situation. She states that he is aware and oriented.
The volunteers of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation are urging Florida’s Department of Children and Families (Florida’s social services agency) to investigate the circumstances surrounding Mr. Thomas’s injuries and to ensure that he is not currently a victim of abuse and neglect.
Terri Schiavo’s family is asking Mrs. Eliza Thomas to err on the side of life. According to them, the dehydration and starvation death suffered by their daughter in March of this year was anything but a peaceful and painless death.
Statement of Bob Schindler, Terri Schiavo’s father:
The suffering our daughter endured and her death over the course of nearly two weeks was horrific. I am pleading with Mrs. Thomas to please reconsider her decision to seek the removal of Scott’s feeding tube and to allow him to receive the therapy and rehabilitation he needs to improve. I beg Mrs. Thomas to give her husband a chance.###

Schiavo Foundation Urges Wife of Disabled Jacksonville Man to Err on the Side of Life
It's on its own thread too!
Oops, I checked earlier but then was interrupted and delayed in getting the above post formatted! Should have checked again before posting. Oh well, now there's a crosslink from this thread, thanks for pointing it out.
Thank you for posting Scott Thomas' article here. The wife appears eager to get to the reading of the will.
I get a free Tampa Tribune as a thank you for saying that I hated the Times.
Little blessings continue to flow because of Terri. Many folks in Tampa Bay still miss Terri and can't get over that this happened at all. Terri's former nurse, well, several of them can't believe Terri wasn't saved. Neither can I.
And, those nine GOP Senators who voted against Terri w/their leader Sen. Jim King, they make me sick. They are accomplices. But, if we have to start somewhere to get justice, Judge George Greer is the point man and many violations of the law led him to his Final Judgement of 2000.
"I don't want anyone trying to feed that girl." George Greer (heart of stone, no common sense but he has big time GOP friends with big money). Terri's gone because of money and power. What about poor Scott Thomas' judge? Do we need to investigate him now? I suppose he's taking orders from Jim King too being in the same county.
Another potential judge-murderer in Florida!
Please get a photo of Scott if the family would like us to put a respectful picture of him on the internet. It helps move the public to have a photo. We could caption it "Give Scott a chance." I think that's what Terri's dad said.
BIG MONEY rules in Pinellas County.
From the St. Pete Times article, we have: John Biesinger the III, Andrew Barnes of the St. Pete (losing circulation) Times and Judge Thomas McGrady.
When Greer's the recipient of an arrest warrant, that's the only award he richly deserves. FV
This is news. I didn't know Barnes killed anybody.
John Biesinger III googled name shows: Wachovia and Skull & Crossbones (1970). Then my pc crashed. I'll take another peek tomorrow. Anyone who praises Greer has their own agenda in addition to being off their rocker.
People who break the law also believe they are above the law.
Actually Barnes worked for the St. Pete Times and they were anti-Terri for many years. So, I guess he got the Liberty Bell award for using the paper to propagandize for Judge Greer, just as they did in their latest award article. The more awards Greer gets, imo, the more guilty he is.
Oh, this is ridiculous. Why do you persist in posting these half-truths and outright falsehoods? Why not tell the whole truth--that the latest release of circulation figures (from the Audit Bureau of Circulations) shows that the St. Pete Times is now the largest daily and Sunday newspaper in the state of Florida, having recently eclipsed the Miami Herald in Sunday circulation figures (the SPT was already the largest circulation daily)? And that, while it is true that the Tampa Trib experienced the lowest circulation decline among the 7 largest newspapers in Florida, that "victory" meant that the Tampa Trib maintained its position as the fifth largest circulation newspaper in Florida? Or that the St. Pete Times has a daily circulation which is 41.3% (almost 99,000 subscribers) and a Sunday circulation which is 37% (116,800+ subscribers) higher than the Tampa Trib? Why say that "the Tampa Tribune is down 135 or so" when the fact is that (according to the report from the Audit Bureau of Circulation) the Tampa Trib is "down" 239 subscribers daily, and 325 on Sunday (this is simple arithmetic that a 4th grader could manage)?
Or, better yet, why not simply post a link to the actual source for those numbers? Why play these silly games? This is nothing but half-baked posturing and intellectual dishonesty, and no one (except you?) is served by such nonsense.
Here's the link to the article: Circulation Drops at State's Biggest Papers.
That was not a lie.
Multiply the 11,000 subscriptions they no longer have times the price of a subscription. They love killer George over there. The more awards he gets, the guiltier he is. The more the Time tries to build up this big man who started an innocent woman to death, the worse he looks. He's the most hated man in America imo. Poor big man, kills an innocent woman and it was an incredible journey for him. He needs to take a long walk off a short pier.
I haven't heard the name Mel Sembler to date.
Love to have some input on his connection.
I subscribe to, and read, both, plus several other state and national newspapers. The May 3 stories on newspaper circulation, which appeared in both the St. Pete Times and the Tampa Trib were based on the same information from the same Audit Bureau of Circulation report.
Sorry you are so upset about the paper who shilled for Greer losing subscribers.
Upset? No. I'm well aware that both the St. Pete Times and the Tampa Tribune endorsed Judge Greer's reelection in 2004. And I'm well aware that both the St. Pete Times and the Tampa Tribune were (editorially) on Michael Schiavo's side of the conflict, and that neither paper was a friend to the Schindlers. I'm also not so egotistical as to imagine that whether or not I subscribe to those newspapers will affect their editorial policies or that--should I decide to cancel my subscription to one or both--that either will feel at all "punished"; rather, I subscribe to them for the same reason that anyone else does (or, like you, doesn't) because it serves my business and personal interests to do so...a simple cost/benefit analysis. I don't personally give a flying flip if either one of them loses (or gains) subscribers, except to the extent that it affects the rates that I pay for advertising and my 'reach'.
And as to your claim that you "don't read the Times," if that is true, then why--in this post--did you give a report about what articles relative to Terri Schiavo were contained in the St. Pete Times on 5/13/05 (two days ago)? Obviously, you either do "read the Times" (at least the portion you can access online) or your post of 5/13/05 was false.
Whatever.
I took out the phone/address but see what type law he practices. The person whom I believe is his wife has a commerical properties business.

Mae Magouirk Passes on: a natural death due to stroke
Update from Ken Mullinax, Mae's nephew
PLEASE POST ANYWHERE SO ALL OUR FRIENDS WHO LOVE LIFE MAY KNOW OF MAE MAGOUIRK'S PASSING ON TO SALVATION AND REWARD BY GOD'S HAND AND NOT BY THE HAND OF MAN!
Mae Magouirk died this morning at the Bryan Nursing Home in LaGrange Ga. of a stroke. Her vital signs had been causing concern since last Wednesday and by Sunday, an apparent stroke hit her, causing her difficulty to speak,
her BP was only 60/30 and by this morning she died surrounded by family.
She was 81 years old.
Since the friends of Terri and the readers of World Net Daily and Glenn Beck had helped save her from starvation, she had responded to treatment by the University of Alabama Medical Center doctors , had then been transferred for convalescent treatment at the Bryan Nursing Home in LaGrange, Ga where her church family had surrounded her after learning of her ordeal in the media and from her Alabama family.
Although she was cognizant, speaking, sitting up, eating-drinking and communicating until her last day alive, her family had decided not to tell her of the terrible ordeal she had endured at Hospice LaGrange until she had
been discharged from the nursing home. She was spared this final pain by GOD.
WE, her closest living next of kin, her Alabama family feel Mae was blessed to have died without being thirsty and having food in her stomach..we thank God for moving all the people of the United States for their phone calls,
prayers and active participation in saving her life!
We encourage any of the friends of Terri, radio listeners or readers to show our Aunt Mae and Ga. relations how much you cherish life by sending cards and flowers to the funeral home or church.
Her arrangements are:
Visitation:
On Tuesday between 6:00 -8:00PM EST
Hunter, Allen, MayHand Funeral Home
506 Hill Street
LaGrange, Ga. 30241 (706) 884-5626
Funeral:

Thanks Sarah for caring and WorldNet Daily for helping save Mae for God's divine fate and not man's hand!

Bless her heart! I'll be praying for her family! Thankfully they didn't succeed in starving her!
