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 and by inscribing on her bronze grave marker the words "I kept my promise."
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.
Two days after Terri Schiavo's death, the 41-year-old was cremated and her husband was given possession of her remains.

"I kept my promise" sounds better than "I tried to cash in on your misfortune but your religious nut parents got in the way."
You bet he kept his promise. I wonder if the promise to see her dead was maid when he waited over an hour the get her medical help.
Michael Schiavo seems to enjoy taunting his dead wife's family.
"Before you collapsed, I promised I'd see you dead."
"I kept my promise."
Regardless of where Freepers fall on this whole ordeal, one has to admit that this is sick.
He got what he wanted -- Teri is dead, and her remains cremated. Was it necessary to rub salt in the wound?
"Whadda you gunnah do about it? Huh Tough guy? Huh?!"
Gloating = "I win - you lose"
"Michael Schiavo told Police that he awoke that morning at 5:00am (or perhaps 5:40am) to a thud."
I believe the more appropriate phrase is "Punch his ticket"
/no sarc
I agree. He's gloating that he won and the parents lost. What a sick, immature man.
"Your Life Was All About ME."
Revelation 21:8
"But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
(NKJV)

Did he promise to emotionally torture and abuse her parents? If so then yeah, he kept his promise.
It is at times like these I am glad there is a hell.
Notice that the incription was allabout Michael. Just like the court proceedings to take his wife's life.
I thought tombstones were supposed to be dedicated to the deceased person? Apparently the only worthwhile thing he can remember about his dead wife for the tombstone is that he kept a "promise" to pull a feeding tube.
Every time I saw this jerk on TV, he looked guilty as hell. He sounded guilty as hell.
