TAMPA, Fla. — Terri Schiavo's body was cremated Saturday as disagreements continued between her husband and her parents, who were unable to have their own independent expert observe her autopsy.Michael Schiavo has not spoken publicly since his wife's death, but Felos said Saturday: "He's holding up. It's very difficult for him." Michael Schiavo is required to tell his wife's parents of any memorial services he plans for Terri Schiavo and where her ashes are interred.

Michael Schiavo is like an old dog with a bone, and he does not want it at all, but he is afraid somone else will get it, so he is going to do his best to bury and to hide his bone. Michael Schiavo has not spoken publicly since his wife's death, but Felos said Saturday: "He's holding up. It's very difficult for him."

Yes, it is hard on an old dog with a bone.

"He's holding up. It's very difficult for him."

He's run out of champagne, and the finger sandwiches have gone cold. But he expects the party favors to arrive shortly and reinvigorate the celebration ... er, ... mourning.

What??! In-laws not getting along? Unheard of! Shock! Gasp! The horror!

"Michael Schiavo is required to tell his wife's parents of any memorial services he plans for Terri Schiavo and where her ashes are interred."

I wonder why now he has to consider Terri's family.

Anyone who doesn't think this was a coverup needs to go back to grade school.

[Hildy]

I don't think this was a coverup. I think he did what he thought was the right thing to do. He didn't want her to be exploited anymore. I know you guys don't think anyone else has any other valid ideas than yours, so I'm ready to be attacked.

The parents had their own memorial service. The bigger question is when is the wedding, and is he going to invite her parents to that.

"Michael Schiavo is required to tell his wife's parents of any memorial services he plans for Terri Schiavo and where her ashes are interred."

The ONLY decent, humane, and compassionate edict to come from the bench of Judge Greer!

[mtbopfuyn]

Yep, gotta get her cremated so there's no evidence. If he were truly innocent of abuse charges he'd have allowed independent witnesses. Likely the report isn't complete or addresses the allegations of abuse per the 1991 bone scan so he's off scot free. Jodi better be careful of slipping in the bathroom.

[Lancey Howard]

That scumbag Michael Schiavo is probably getting wasted and laughing his arse off right now, celebrating his "victory".

[sheikdetailfeather]

I love your way with words!

[MizSterious]

And of course, the question of how much will he make from his book and movie deal...and how much he will have to share with Felos.

[ExTexasRedhead]

I wonder if Schaivo, Greer, and Felos know how despised they are? We musn't be forgotten nor should it blow over. Get ready, the next battle will be the judicial nominees. I know that I will be on the telephone calling and emailing Washington expressing my opinion. Thousands upon thousands of telephone calls and emails are needed so they "get the message"--state-sponsored murder won't to be tolerated. Activist judges have to be impeached or voted out of office. Greer needs to be the first to go!

No "attack" from here, just a hearty, LOL.

[queenkathy]

You have a right to your opinion. But on this thread you will probably be sorry for voicing it. BTW..what do you base that on? Is it just your own feelings or is it based on any facts? Like maybe something in writing?

That's excellent.

[peter the great]

This will come back to haunt him. I am saying this in the mystical/philosophical sense.

[knarf]

There just isn't a word or phrase in whatever combination that describes MS ... nor my own feelings.

I feel so f***in' helpless.

[MizSterious]

If there's such a thing as a ghost, I hope Terri does haunt him, constantly and for the rest of his life.
