Bob and Mary Schindler, both practicing Catholics, urged dozens of supporters gathered outside the Florida hospice where Schiavo is being cared for to go home for Easter.
"The family would request that everyone go home, be with your children, hold them close and share every moment you have with them," said Brother Paul O'Donnell, a Franciscan monk who is a spiritual adviser to the Schindlers.
It was not clear if the Schindlers had finally abandoned all legal avenues in their fight to restart their 41-year-old daughter's feeding, a cause that embroiled the Florida legislature, the U.S. Congress and President Bush.

I figured that.
btw............my nerves are fine, and my conscience is clear. I pray that someday yours will be too.
Peace, Jon..........go make a few phone calls today to your representatives, and make your life mean something, OK? Pretending to be something you're not on the Internet doesn't count........
I don't think it's the American way to starve a person to death. But that's just my biased opinion.
The evidence is here in black and white on dozens of Terri threads.
Now you tell me what you've done (other than attack pro-lifers like me with erroneous condescension and silly "Good German" nonsense) to stand for a culture of life in this country.
I've been active in pro-life causes for well over 20 years (probably before you were born). Every question that I asked about what you have done, I have done myself. I am still assuming by your refusal to answer, you are admitting that you haven't done anything.
Give us a list of your involvement in pro-life causes. I want to know what gives you the right to call me a "Good German" when I have been a pro-life advocate for decades, and you, apparently have done nothing except call people names on FR.
This is not a contest, or any attempt to brag........(I haven't done nearly what I should have over the years, and intend to increase my activism as a result of this travesty). This is, rather, to expose you as a phony whose only activity has been to attack others on FR since you joined only a few months ago...... and has done nothing to save the lives of the weak in this country.
Please prove otherwise, jon......if you are able.
Well, great, then there is no problem. Let the RCC go ahead with the RCC funeral without the body and everybody is happy.
I didn't denigrate the RCC. It is what it is. I simply tried to find common ground with those RCC adherents who are Christians without the offensive references.
A side question:
I lost the number to the office Bush in FL.
Can anyone ping it to me?
Don't know WHAT I'm gonna say, this time.
Do you think Bush in Florida might be atleast actully be able to do something to get the family the body of the girl didn't rescue?
Filth, filth, filth.
MSCASEY,
The more I think of how this has all gone, the more I believe, in my heart that Bush in Florida was playing both sides of the fence.
He signed into law the ability to do just what is being done to Terri.
Most people would not work themselves out of a job -
How hard would he fight to defend a victim of the law he himself passed?
Something is starting to stink so badly.
And Bush in Florida has the authority to suspend every single cop in the hospital room. This is according to the Florida State Statutes.
My gosh. Something is really starting to look terrible....
I do not think Terri had one chance....Not one....Even if told what Bush in Florida did over the years....Terri did not have one chance.....
I am truly sorry for dumping. It's not on you, mscasey.
It's like looking at a picture and seeing another totally horrible image start to emerge....
HOCKEY PUCK.
Rush was talking today about his belief in the Rule of Law and the Constitution, and saying the proper avenue to fix this is to change the laws, and not break them because you disagree with them.
Robert Bork also believes that everything that could legally be done has been done. So I guess he doesn't agree with your "hockey puck" comment either........
Read this very slowly so you can understand what I am saying:
If that girl dies, then Bush in Florida did not do everything he could: The body would be the proof.
Now, once again, with FLAVOR: H*O*C*K*E*Y***P*U*C*K
How convenient for you to leave out the word "legal."
A 25 year old "street preacher " from Alabama is at Terri's hospice today, and in his white shirt and tie, on CNN had the boldness to speak truth and say, "I'm a Bible believing Christian, but as far a George Bush, I don't even think he is a Christian; he talks out of both sides of his mouth."
Father, forgive us. We elected someone who will not serve You. Forgive our failure to see. Our hearts must be so hardened. Change us. Be merciful to Terri. Don't take our failure to elect a man who cares and use these sins against Terri.
Let the soon Felos new conference expose his evil to all the world. Reveal through his words and actions the demonic hearts of Felos and Schiavo.
Give the Schiavos your strength and your wisdom and your words to speak. In Jesus name.
Oh no you are not dumping on me! Please feel free to discuss this.
I agree with you! The court appointed person was said to have something to do with the hospice. No they never were really for Terri I am sorry to say I believe that also.
If it were one of the bushes daughter you can bet this would not have happened to them.
MCD
I was concerned you would think me stark raving mad.
It is as if they just fooled us so much.
I can't even stomach speaking their names, now.
They're nuts.
No. They not nuts. They are evil.
Legal.
It is LEGAL for the Gov of the state of Florida to SUSPEND any person in ANY office who is not removable by IMPEACHMENT.
Do you know what that means?
Read this even a bit more slowly.
The COPS who stopped his wussy FDLE.....?? He has the LEGAL authority to suspend every last one of them.
The DCF could have gone straight to the Hospice and got Terri and it would have been LEGAL.
Now, if you want to stand by a man who sign the paper work which ESTABLISHED the particular procedure underwhich Terri was THEN classified, you have the LEGAL right.
No problem.. You also have Free Will. But that smacks of a faith (i.e., as Free Will, given by the Lord. In case you didn't know.), and I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself having to suffer with a decision based on faith.
Now.
He has not done everything LEGAL to save Terri.
Terri's being taken out in a BODYBAG will be the proof.
Let's see: Covered morals (check) Covered Legal (check)
Some won't see reason, and they don't care what's legal. Emotionalism rules - just like it does at DU.
Well, thank you, very much.
I'll try it!
You know, I imagine that before this nightmare actually started, that Terri's folks probably believed like a lot of the current FReeper think - that something like this would never happen in America because, well, we're America and you just don't starve people to death.
I consider what's being done to Terri as a Westernized Honor Killing.
And there, unfortunately will be a lot more of them, since the US courts have said it's okay.
It's terrible. And people who would have a cow over a woman in another country getting starved don't even care.
American's are very touchy-feely about violence being done in the open - they don't want to see it. It appears if it is done it private, though, it's a lot more acceptable.
Those like us, who believe it is evil, in public or out, are called emotional and nutty.
Would you care to rewrite that post, with the understanding that you are talking to a fellow believer (of nearly 50 years) who has spent the last week and a half in nearly constant prayer for Terri, and for this situation?
(Your recent sign on date also makes me doubt your veracity, so a personal testimony of your own faith in Christ would help me understand if you are really a believer, or just a DU troll trying to cause dissension among the FR ranks. We have been overrun lately by those from the dark side, and I can't tell if you're one of them...........yet).
