Terri's friend said it. I am sure there is someone who knows exactly where to find the quote.

PINELLAS PARK, Florida (AP) -- Diane Meyer can recall only one time that her best friend, Terri Schiavo, really got angry with her. It was in 1981, and it haunts her still.

For starters, read this. Read the whole article for more insight into the "loving" husband. It's not pretty.

EXCERPT:
Later, the Schindlers said they began to believe that maybe Michael Schiavo had "done something" to Terri, causing her to stop breathing, which is what appeared to have caused oxygen deprivation leading to severe brain damage. Medical reports, a bone scan and a police report eventually caused them to become suspicious–as did Michael’s unwavering watchfulness from the beginning.

When the Schindler’s said they finally got access to Terri’s medical records, they discovered she had a neck injury consistent with strangulation, they said a doctor told them. Mary admitted she remembered having seen an unusual number of bruises on her daughter’s arms and thighs–and wondered about them.

They also knew Terri may have wanted a divorce–and mentioned that to her brother, her friends, and her mother about a month before her collapse. Glancing at Bob, Mary said Terri would never have told her father.

"She just said, ‘Michael and I are really having some problems and I’m really not happy,’" recalled Mary, who admitted: "Dummy me, with my Catholic upbringing and all, I said, ‘honey, maybe just try to work things out.’"

Mary said she remembered thinking right after Terri’s collapse that Michael was extraordinarily attentive for having been thrust into such a situation. She recalled five other young women in Terri’s condition at a nursing home in Sable Ponds–and said their mothers told her that each of their husbands "flew" after they realized their wives would likely never be the same.

"I thought, ‘look at this loving man that’s here every day.’ He watched her like a hawk. Naturally, now I know he was afraid. He must have been thinking, ‘what if they teach her to talk?’" Mary speculated. "I think he was afraid she would say, ‘what are you doing here? You did this to me!’ I think that’s what happened."

Bob said he remembered thinking right before the malpractice trial, which began in 1992, that something was wrong, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.

"I didn’t lay up at night and think, ‘why is he doing this,’ but when we finally got access to her medical records, I wondered," Bob said. "Something just didn’t seem right with this guy."
