Rest in peace, Terri.

Hugs to you, dear tut.

"My apologies. I will refrain from doing it in the future.

Thank you. Every death is sad, and Terri's is no exception.

God rest her soul.

And may God have mercy on ours.

Perhaps it is time to quietly confront people with their role in this, what someone has termed "THE LONGEST PUBLIC EXECUTION IN AMERICAN HISTORY": perhaps some Freeper can design an "I HELPED STARVE TERRI" logo that can be printed and proudly displayed by those so eager to see her die. Use it on a certificate suitable for framing for Judges Greer and Whittemore, the Schiavo lawyers, and the hospice doctors. It will look nice on the wall next to their law or medical degrees. The same could be sent to the mainstream media reporters who are so eager to point out how peaceful death by starvation is. All involved will be proud in future years to point out their "heroic" role to their children and grandchildren.

Sleep well, Angel.

Not the right time for this IMO. I too disagree with the majority here, but respect their sincerity and the grief they are feeling right now.

Death Is Conquered, We Are Free. Christ Hast Won The Victory.

[Bluegrass Conservative]

Agreed... at least she's in heaven now.

Not to sound disrespectful, but we can only hope that is the case. No person knows another person's state of affairs with God.

[fortunecookie]

OMG. How very sad and needless. I had a sad feeling it would be today. She was a strong, courageous lady.

[Ciexyz]

Pinellas County über alles.

[cyncooper]

I don't.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

"Sheesh, you people act as if she was the Messiah. She is better off in God's hands."

I don't see her that way. I DO see her as a symbol now for our Constitutional Rights and how they can just be flushed down the toilet. Who's next? You? Better make sure you married the right woman, and/or that you have all of your paperwork in order.

Who else do 'we people' see as the Messiah, in your not-so-humble opinion? Who else should we not consider to be 'symbols' of something larger than we are? (And if you had a clue as to what a "Messiah" truly is, you wouldn't be so flip about throwing the term around.)

Let's start with the worst: the Judges!

[Lunatic Fringe]

Thank God she is finally at peace.

[Geezerette]

Thank you for the beautiful photo of the young, happy, healthy Theresa Marie Schindler!

RIP, little one.

I am reserving any talk about what to do about this crime until I calm down and an appropriate mourning time has passed

[rollo tomasi]

All the politicians breathed a sign of relief upon this news. Now back to the nations business of fleecing our tax dollars.
