Terri Schiavo's remains buried in Clearwater

Terri Schiavo's husband buried her cremated remains in a Clearwater cemetery Monday, inscribing on her bronze grave marker that ``I kept my promise.''

David Gibbs, an attorney for the woman's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, said inscribing the marker that way was a nasty political statement by Michael Schiavo, who held the service and burial Monday before telling her family.

``Obviously, that's a real shot and another unkind act toward a grieving mom and dad,'' Gibbs said.

After earlier announcing plans to bury his wife's ashes in their native Pennsylvania, Michael Schiavo instead interred them at Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park in Clearwater, near Tampa, his attorney, George Felos, said in a short news release Monday.

At least the grave is closer than originally planned so her parents can visit it. It is shameful, however, that Michael did not make sure her parents knew about the service.

[Alkhin]

It's only false witness if they say they saw him do it.

To wit, we ALL saw him do it...and he had accomplices.

Truth will out. A man in love would not have put the family of his beloved through what MS did, even if there were suspicions. But a family that knew Michael loved Terry would never have conceived of such a notion and flatly denied it...IF they had not had reason to. Michael gave them reasons to suspect in spades, and that tombstone is permanent evidence of that.

Imagine Lee Harvey Oswald being allowed to have, "I shot him dead," inscribed on JFK's tombstone.

Oswald was secretly married to JFK?

My God...have you no shame in what you write..? You people are possessed...not by God. Shudder.

[malakhi]

I'm no big Michael Schiavo fan, but I can't understand those who are critical of him for not being 'nice' to the Schindlers. I think they forfeited any entitlement to cordiality when they started branding him as a murderer. They crossed the line. They made heinous accusations based upon nothing but speculation. Just like many here. You don't just walk back from that brink and expect Michael to treat them respectfully just because they are her parents.

Exactly.

[MEGoody]

Listen to yourself. Michael is as much a child of God as Terri was.

We don't know that. Not everyone is a child of God according to scripture.

[Ms Jeezlooweez]

Is there some reason you don't support questioning terminated investigations and suppressed evidence/reports?

[lugsoul]

That's way, way out of line. If you have a desire to make such low class statements, please come on down to Georgia and make them to my face.

[Howlin]

How cold the womb you dropped from, I guess.

Now you're bringing his MOTHER into this?

Talk about vacuous and specious remarks.

[sinkspur]

Indeed. Lugsoul surely won't.

See these Christians, how they love one another?

[lugsoul]

You question assumes 'facts' that aren't. Or do you think you know of "supressed" evidence or reports?

[spectre]

If it justifies the witch hunt, you can convince yourself of anything...carry on.

Real Freepers Don't Need a Witness Protection Program.

Best tag-line I have seen in awhile....wish I could remember who had it so I could give them credit. Well, Kudos to whomever it was......:)

I am so sorry some of you are having to argue with Michael supporters.....just note that you are the majority.

[malakhi]

A man in love would not have put the family of his beloved through what MS did, even if there were suspicions. But a family that knew Michael loved Terry would never have conceived of such a notion and flatly denied it.

Interestingly, these accusations against MS did not begin until TEN YEARS after TS's collapse.

[sinkspur]

We don't know that. Not everyone is a child of God according to scripture.

We do know that. Or perhaps you believe that God "gives up" on those He has created?

Perhaps He's given up on you.

[Howlin]

It's only false witness if they say they saw him do it.

So I can call you a child molester, as long as I don't say I saw you do it?

[null and void]

#1 I did make it to your face, you ARE coppied in the address line.

#2 It was out of line. I appologize, I was caught up in the moment.

[yellowdoghunter]

You did it now....the "posse" has arrived.....:)

[spectre]

Oh go jump in the lake...

[syriacus]

But it's not just false witness,

You're right....It's not false witness at all.

It's speculation

It would be false witness if someone lied (under oath?) that they saw Michael injureTerri.

It would similarily be false witness to lie under oath
that some young woman said [two decades ago],

"Please make sure

1. to allow my teeth rot and
2. to dehydrate and starve me

when I am forty."
