Terri Schiavo's husband buried her cremated remains in a Clearwater cemetery Monday, inscribing on her bronze grave marker that ``I kept my promise.''
David Gibbs, an attorney for the woman's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, said inscribing the marker that way was a nasty political statement by Michael Schiavo, who held the service and burial Monday before telling her family.
``Obviously, that's a real shot and another unkind act toward a grieving mom and dad,'' Gibbs said.
After earlier announcing plans to bury his wife's ashes in their native Pennsylvania, Michael Schiavo instead interred them at Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park in Clearwater, near Tampa, his attorney, George Felos, said in a short news release Monday.

It is a simple question....."Was Terri dying?" The answer is NO!
Answering that question is all you need to know.
I remarking to the hastiness with which you jumped on me because I didnt have a plethora of statistics/documents/data at my ready fingertips to expound upon in a cybernetic minute.
Yep...that word seems to be AWFUL difficult for them.
Her brain was not capable of do that.
Therefore, she was not consious of non-nourishment.
The first three years, Terri received the best care available. Everything that could be tried, was tried.
The nurses and doctors testified under oath that MS was so demanding of her care that he was a pain in the neck.
After those three years, because no one has ever come out of PVS after three years, the doctors told him it was hopeless.
I would expect my husband do to whatever the doctors thought could be done, get second opinions, third opinions, etc. All of which WAS done.
But when they ALL tell him it's hopeless, pull the plug. And that's what MS tried to do.
You may not like it. Then you need to work to change the laws. There's no difference between pulling the respirator and pulling a feeding tube. They are both life support. And both are done tens of thousands of times a year.
Which there had not been any CT/MIT (is that correct? Im no medic, as you can see) scans, correct? None whatsoever.
She died 15 years ago. You just don't want to admit it.
Then let me ask them again....."Was Terri dying?"
I think I will be waiting on this answer as long as I will be waiting on those Democrat commercials about us evil Republicans wanting to feed Terri......
If someone cares about me as much as Michael cared about Terri, I may soon wish I was dead...but certainly not because my brain has been deeply injured.
Yep. And they cause brain-rot.
Remember that folks..... My grandma is alot like Terri....should I starve her to death?
Shouldn't you be over at CP or Wildturkeys making fun on FR? Is CP down or something...
That usually doesn't happen until you start contributing disrupting.
Peach and others are unwilling and UNABLE to look that in the eyes. Sad, really. To be so in love with the Devil and his details. That's how he ensares you.
Just all sweetness and light.
Which is why I say the autopsy is a huge fat LIE.
Was she dying, Peach?

Mrs. Schindler made the comment about Terri commenting on a news broadcast in which Quinlan's father was talking about wanting to remove Karen's life support.
Mrs. Schindler said the comment was made when Terri was 17-20 years of age - Terri commented that Karen's parents should just leave her alone.
After the court showed her a newspaper article account of this story, Mrs. Schindler said that Terri corrected her testimony and said Terri must have been about 11 or 12 when she made the comment.
The comment was not seen by the court as a lie - it was just seen as a mistake on the timeline by the mother, and the judge thought that comments made by Terri at that age should not be considered.
I just wanted to clear up a bit of slander against the mother.
Indeed.
Looking back on all the hours & days
I spent reading & rereading all those court documents, hospital reports
and now the autopsy......
What the h*** was I thinking??? LOL!!
