Schiavo Burial Provokes New Fight
cbs ^ | 6-21-05

The burial of Terri Schiavo's cremated remains didn't bring an end to the acrimony between her husband and her family.

Michael Schiavo angered his late wife's family Monday by not notifying them about the burial beforehand

Still, her parents welcomed the news until they found that a graveside plaque reads "I kept my promise," reports Gordon Byrd of CBS radio affiliate WHNZ.

Michael Schiavo — who said he promised his wife he would not keep her alive artificially — also listed Feb. 25, 1990, as the date his wife "Departed this Earth."

On that date, Schiavo collapsed and fell into what most doctors said was an irreversible vegetative state.

Schiavo actually died March 31, nearly two weeks after her feeding tube was removed by court order. The grave marker lists that date as when Schiavo was "at peace."

David Gibbs, an attorney for the woman's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, decried the inscriptions on the marker. "Obviously, that's a real shot and another unkind act toward a grieving mom and dad," Gibbs said.

This is from CBS, so it must be true....

If so, I'll leave it to the Michael Schiavo apologists here on FR to defend his latest outrage.

I second what you said!!!

My heart just breaks for Terri's family----how much of Michael's cruelty do they have to tolerate...

He already murdered their daughter, and now he has desecrated her grave!

I know some people personally who had some sympathies for Michael during all of this.....not now.....after they heard about what he put on Terri's marker....it has totally changed their minds..

I am glad I never defended Michael....

This is really revolting. Notice the "left this earth" date and then the "at peace" date. He's acting as if she died years before her heart stopped beating because he starved and dehydrated her to death.

Hell has a special place reserved for those who abuse the disabled.

I agree with you. However, I fear this will not be his LAST cheap shot. I wouldn't be surprised if he pushes to get some sort of "Michael Schiavo Savior" law passed, which would lift alot of the barriers he had to go through.

CBS missed the even more egregious message on the marker: "Born: Dec. 5, 1963; Departed This Earth: Feb. 26, 1990; At Peace: March 31, 2005

Kind of proves it was never about her, but about him.

He revealed his true black hearted self to the world.

He basically pissed on her grave to spite the parents.

Class act.

I have two words for him in that case: "BRING IT!"

He wouldn't get it by Gov. Bush and I will be voting for Charlie Crist when he runs

Ya know, regardless of what side you take on this issue, to put "I kept my promise" on someone else's grave marker is just a jerk thing to do. Put it on his own marker, fine; but someone else's?
