Ashes of Terri Schiavo buried 12 minutes ago
The remains of Terri Schiavo, a brain-damaged Florida woman whose fate sparked a highly politicized right-to-die battle, were buried on Monday in Florida, her husband's lawyer said.
The interment of Schiavo's ashes took place nearly three months after she died and five days after pathologists released results of an autopsy that showed her to have had massive brain damage and no hope of recovery. Her condition resulted from a collapse in 1990 that deprived her brain of oxygen.
The burial at Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park in Clearwater, Florida, was held in the presence of her husband, Michael Schiavo, some of his brothers and a priest, attorney George Felos said in a brief statement.
The autopsy results supported court findings during a long legal battle between Schiavo's parents and her husband that she was in a persistent vegetative state, meaning she could not think or feel, pathologists who conducted the autopsy said last week.
The courts consistently supported Michael Schiavo's stance that his wife would not have wanted to live in this state and should be allowed to die.
Her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, believed she had some hope for recovery and fought for seven years to keep her alive in a campaign that attracted support from right-to-life activists, Christian evangelicals and the Vatican.

WOW!
He wheeled around a dead person in the mall?
Pain killers for a dead person?
Why take out a tube, if she was departed?
He visited a departed soul in the hospice?
HE sued for money to take care of a dead person?
He is one fraudulant sick individual, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually.
I wonder if he will challenge the autopsy report next.
"She was dead, she told me, she was dead - everything about her was dead, I remember her telling me".

Translation of Terri's gravestone.
Schiavo (Big letters - she's mine not yours (terri's parents)
Teresa Marie
Beloved wife (she's still mine, not yours. not daugher, not sister. She's mine)
Born Dec 2, 1963
Departed this Earth Feb 25, 1990 (But you were too stupid to realize. From this time on she's breathing meat. A plant, as my lawyer called her.)
At peace March 31, 2005 (I gave her "peace", and you spent all your time loving a vegetable. Ha. I won. She's dead now. And the law backed me up, and you are left with your pain, after watching her die for 13 days. Oops. Silly me. She "died" back in 1990. We just sort of dried out the husk. Hurts, doesn't it? Good. I hate you. You got in the way, and at the end, if there hadn't been 2 cents left in the account, I would have had her killed just to take her away from you.
I kept my promise. (you and I both know there was no promise, being I remembered it so many years after the fact. But hey, it sounds so romantic.)
And everytime you visit this gravestone, it will push all this in your face, that Terri is mine, not yours, I controlled her, and when you defied me, I took her away from you. I tortured you in court. And I burnt her body and put her in the ground. Enjoy.

After reading this headstone, I realized Michael forgot the love poem. Something about how he tenderly put a rose in her hand as she "was freed".
Thanks for the welcome! And, as far as the high standards, I prefer the ones set by FR... :o)
And, I enjoy the back and forth on the threads you've mentioned... how can you learn about a subject unless you hear both sides?
And, it's also possible that I misinterpreted the intent of the picture... however, keep in mind that I do not know any of the posters on this board - my interpretations are based strictly on the comments themselves...
Correction...
"depart" not "have depart"
No, he buried her near her family so they can visit and view her gravestone inscribed "Beloved wife", "Departed this Earth February 25, 1990", "At peace March 31, 2005", "I kept my promise". Yet one more way he gives her grieving family the finger.
"You care to supply any evidence to support your insinuation that the entire media, including Fox News, and Terri's family, are somehow involved in a conspiracy to defraud the public? The basic facts of the autopsy are not in dispute."
It's somewhat simple. The autopsy (IMO) confirms that she was not going to improve in the sense that she was ever going to walk out of the hospital and return to a normal life.
To the extent that she had significant brain damage, I do not disagree.
But the autopsy was NOT able to explain what happened on the date of incident, and just throws some theories out to support MS and the med-mal defendants; it comes up short, and does not exclude the possibility that, for example, she was suffocated with a pillow and left to lie on the floor while MS waited to call 911. There still is a circumstantial case here against MS, just as there was against scott peterson and oj. And after Fuhrman's book is released, I suspect we will hear more about it.
But the MSM can not run with this story
...just yet.
So you resent the characters in this entire episode? How about can you say "euthanasia"? Because that is what this is really all about "murder". Pray it doesn't happen to you, and pray also if it does that you'll have as many people standing up for your life as Terri did, even if she did lose.
A spiteful lie.
A spiteful callous man with a cold black heart -- and contagious it is.
Look another one.
The inscription stated he had kept his promise. Promise to whom I wonder.

For some reason, your empathy rings hollow.
At any rate, if I had a daughter, I'd hope she'd make a better choice than did Terri Schindler.
In case you didn't know (I'm bettin' you did), the ME is picked by the State of Florida, not by Michael Schiavo.
I already had it in mind when I gave my advice not to leap to conclusions.
I have no idea if anyone was "offended" (though why you say that is frankly odd) but if your true intention is to engage in a higher level of discourse perhaps it would be best to not arrive doling out ill-advised and baseless admonitions and just stick to the topic at hand.
