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.

Stone Mountain: Well put.
Well ... they say that context is everything.
I'd say that there are glaringly obvious, differences, in intent and outcome, between the two "hearsays." . --
* Dehydration, from an onlooker's point of view --
"[Nancy Cruzan, three days before her death from starvation] turned and looked at me and stared at me with
a panicky look, sweating profusely,
and the thought I had was, she was thinking,
Oh, heres a policeman, hell help me.
But we werent allowed to do that,"...

A living will or durable power of attorney is little or no protection. A hospital can make a decision when say the designee of a DPOA is on vacation, or can "lose" a living will, or as possibly happened in Schiavo -- convince the designee that your wishes are really to die.
If the Schindlers did a gravesite ... they could tag it "Brutally murdered by a man who kept his promise."
Plus -- where the other major character flaws (thuggery, murder) are found lying is nearly always found as well.
A very accurate word to describe Michael.
Glad you posted that picture. Thanks.
My religion isn't too big on it either but your society and mine does. Our "government of the people, by the people and for the people" gives it legal sanction.
It's not my offer. The offer comes from codeblue.com. The link is in my previous post. Sounds like easy money to me if these so-called docs are so sure of their ability to diagnose the PVS state from a CT scan. Shoot! getting 60% by throwing darts at the wall or flipping a coin might work. $100,000 bucks just waiting there...!
Last time I checked it was a bunch of deluded secularist Supreme Court "justices" that ruled on Roe v Wade...not the people.
Once they ruled that it was legal to murder chidlren, the secularist apparatus went into full gear to undermine the traditional morality of Americans.
It's up to us to reform this inhuman practice. That is one reason Bush got re elected...the promise of a change in the SC.
Oh course Michael is all of those things.
All I questioned was the assertion of the poster who said he KNEW what Michael Schiavo did or did not tell Terri.
He can't know that. Period.
Or they could use this grave marker:
The Congress wrote the un-Constitutional CFR. The President said it was un-Constitutional but declined to exercise executive power to veto it relying on the SCOTUS to strike it down. SCOTUS knocked down a couple of minor points in CFR but, in essence, said "this is fine with us."
So we have a clearly un-Constitutional law restricting political speech which all three branches of government have either approved or passed the buck on. We have no checks and balances now. No will to obey and defend the Constitution and no intent to represent the will of the people. We the people and the Constitution and DoI are just pieces to play in a game of power grabbing.
Appropriate and brutally honest. Bravo!
Schiavo will not get a moment's peace.
Felos - the master manipulator should be investigated as well.
Unbelievably..as of the year 2005, in our America, the presumption of life has been elimination after over 200 plus years and it hasn't even been exposed in the MSM.
This is historical and all I hear is crickets.
See the latest release from the AMA.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1427939/posts
"...the American Medical Association on Tuesday [adopted] policy opposing any legislation that presumes patients would want life-sustaining treatment unless it is clear that they would not."
*snip*
"Tuesday's action also reaffirmed existing AMA policy that says it is ethical in some cases to discontinue life-sustaining treatment if it is in the patient's best interests. "
Hi everyone! What's up with this Terri Schiavo thing anyway? Was she famous or sometin?
