Wampus...you're not going to believe this but I just looked up the significance of the color purple and in religious symbolism it signifies "suffering and sorrow".

Stop the Judge and Save a Life
by Fr. Michael Reilly
Sunday, March 20, 2005
Back in 2000, the Clinton administration saw fit to send machine-gun-toting federal agents into Miami under the cover of darkness to ship Elian Gonzalez back to Fidel Castro.
Unfortunately for then-Attorney General Janet Reno, a photographer was able to capture that horrible moment in an enduring image of shameful tyranny. Now Florida state judge George Greer has issued a morally corrupt order for the brutal starvation of an American citizen, Terri Schiavo - and an outraged nation is impotent to act.
Florida Governor Jeb Bush, President Bush, and the United States Congress have all moved to save her life and yet the nation is held hostage to a single judge.
Congress has subpoenaed both Terri and Michael Schiavo to appear. This subpoena is well within congressional rights, since they are preparing legislation on this very matter.
Incredibly, Judge Greer has opted to defy Congress and order her death before she can appear.
If Terri were a mass murderer facing the death penalty or a terrorist prisoner at Guantanamo Bay, Judge Greer would certainly allow more time to consider the matter.
Isn't that what American judges do?
This judge, however, has defied Congress and the national government seems powerless to act.
Where are the heavily-armed federal agents now to save Terri? Where are the federal marshals to arrest a lawless and arrogant judge?
The course is now simple: Send federal marshals to arrest the judge, re-insert the feeding tube and sort out the details later.
In the absence of decisive action, the clock is ticking as a young woman slowly starves to death at the hands of an American judge.

I went and read part of that thread and posted one or two times.
I'm not sure I've had them for awhile. You are welcome to copy them. We need lots of angels these days.
We are up tonight unable to sleep because of all this. I am really dismayed and puzzled over all this. How can those who could do something stand by and do nothing?
I was floored when I read that. Purple IS the color.
Unsourced.
This feeling of resignation is so hard and painful. I can't imagine what Terri's parent and siblings are going through.

"The Hospice of The Florida Suncoast"
felos 1st appears on the annual report 1997
In 2001 he is deleted, being replaced by Clarence Welch
"The Hospice of The Florida Suncoast" has kept this information largely out of the public eye, but an investigation of the Hospice's annual reports reveals a new twist in the case of Terri Schiavo: George J. Felos was the official but unseen hand of the Hospice - and he advocates death for those in his care.

Another signal we've been sent. There have been no coincidences in anything related to Terri.

Her's another. Whaddya mean unsourced?
So I see. :)
And white stands for purity, joy and glory!
Always be suspicious of ACLU lawyers. They are anti-religion, anti-American and pro-death.
"George Felos, Michael Schiavo's attorney and a noted author and advocate in Florida's so-called "right to die" movement, is also named as a "non-party co-conspirator" in the lawsuit. The Schindlers allege that Schiavo, with Felos' help, sought to deprive Terri of her due process rights under the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution." (from CNSNews.com)
Michael Schiavo never said that Terri wanted to die until he hired ACLU lawyer George Felos.
"Purple represents royalty, spirituality, nobility, ceremony, mystery, transformation, wisdom, enlightenment, cruelty, arrogance, mourning. Purple is considered an exotic color."
I can give you the website if you want. Actually, I was wrong about Easter being purple. I know it's used alot at Easter but Easter is white and Lent and Advent are purple.
Either way, both colors work.
It is unusual for an RN to work in a dentist's office. Dentist's offices do use 'lab techs, though. Could a lab tech be calling herself an RN? Um? The use of RN in Florida when not an active licensed RN is subject to 1 of 2 classes of felony.
Gotcha. I need to go to bed. It will be sad waking up tomorrow knowing nothing else can be done to save Terri or that she may be gone. :(
That's the first time in 2 weeks since I've wandered off the ranch. Been here the whole time. :)
