Defying all odds Terri is still alive.
Are you being targeted for euthanasia? (Schiavo case only the tip of the iceberg!)
Schiavo parents plan new US Supreme Court appeal
Florida lawmaker says he will consider impeaching Schiavo Judge Greer
Now that Michael's obsession has been satisfied, he's going to find it was not as sweet as he thought. Where, now, will he direct his cruelty? Look out Jodi, watch out Michael's poor little children. My heart cries out for those innocent children.
Sickening isn't it! So cruel! So evil! God why??? I am so angry I dont' know what to say? i can hardly type I'm so mad! DAMNIT!!!!!!!!! Curse michael Schiavo, curse him!
That appears to be true; the same can be said for Felos and Greer.
Lord God, I pray that Michael Schiavo, George Felos, and George Greer, and others whose hearts appear as coldhearted and unloving, and claim that evil is good, that these people within our nation, that those in power over us, would wake up and see this great sin they have committed against You and Your laws. Bring to them Your Spirit, to convict them and accept Christ as their Savior. For You, oh God, "so loved the world that You gave Your only-begotten Son so that whoever believes in Him might not perish but have everlasting life." For You, oh God gave "proof of Your love to us in Christ's dying for us while we were still sinners."
Comfort Terri's family, Lord. Send to them ministering angels. Allow them to feel Your presence and love. Sustain them to go on, despite this cruelty committed against their loved one and them. Bring them Your peace.
Terri is with you now; in my heart I know this. She will no longer have to feel the torture she has had to endure for half of the life she was given by You. No more pangs of thirst or hunger. No more fear. No more prisons. She is free. She can praise You.
Vengeance is Yours, oh Lord. I pray it is swiftly brought. That injustice will soon be met with justice. That sins committed in secret will be brought into the open. That those who are responsible will be held to account.
In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
ping to tribute thread please
Laura I. just played this music, if anyone wants to hear a link to The Mansions of the Lord (which was played at Ronald Reagan's funeral).
Very mournful.

One thing we can take comfort in...our prayers did not go unheard. Every Christian I know was praying. The Lord knows things we don't know and sees things we can't see...he used this precious lady for a greater goal, and I believe she is with him now. The Lord heard us...and my faith has never been so strong. In the midst of the pain, I have some peace...it is a comfort to know He is never, ever defeated. There is a purpose...whether this is for the good or for the bad of America (good in that it will open eyes and change the system, or bad in that America will be judged for the blood on her hands), He knows what He's doing.
Please ping me to the tribute thread.
Amen
Yes, I heard that too... and he's right. I'm not Catholic but Father provone is a hero of mine. Well-spoken man.
Yes, please, folks...don't feed the deathmongers...it's' what keeps them alive.
Folks, take comfort in this...Michael and his cronies can't do anything further to harm Terri...she is safe. Remember what Jesus said? Don't fear those who can only kill the body, and do no more...but fear him who has the power to destroy body and soul in hell.
It is now Michael's turn to be pursued by the Hound of Heaven. Let's pray the Lord turns him to repentence before that occurs, because it is a horrible thing to be in the hands of an angry God.
Aman and Amen.
Rom. 12:19. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Keep praying for revenage TAdams8591, and the Lord will take his wrath out on you.
The posters on this thread should pray for their souls in light of all the hate born from their mouths.
Pavone is the name, not provone.
He is a great man. He said it very clear on national TV.
Thanks. Sorry.

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. -- Terri Schiavo, the severely brain-damaged woman whose final years tethered to a feeding tube sparked a bitter feud over her fate that divided a family and a nation, died Thursday, her husband's attorney said.
Ms. Schiavo, 41 years old, died quietly in a Pinellas Park hospice 13 days after her feeding tube was removed despite extraordinary intervention by Florida lawmakers, Congress and President Bush -- efforts that were rebuffed at every turn by the courts.
Her death was confirmed by Michael Schiavo's attorney, George Felos, and announced to reporters outside her hospice by a family adviser.
A shy woman who avoided the spotlight, Ms. Schiavo spent her final months as the focus of a media frenzy and an epic legal battle between her husband and parents over whether she should live or die.
Protesters streamed into Pinellas Park to keep vigil outside her hospice, with many arrested as they tried to bring her food and water. The Vatican likened the removal of her feeding tube to capital punishment for an innocent woman.
Politicians repeatedly tried to intervene as her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, pleaded for their daughter's life, calling the removal of the feeding tube "judicial homicide."
"Something has to be done and has to be done quick," Mr. Schindler said, a week after the tube was removed March 18, as the family's legal options dwindled. "I think the people who are anxious to see her die are getting their wish."
The news of Ms. Schiavo's death comes after the Supreme Court on Wednesday once again refused to order her feeding tube reinserted, the latest in a series of setbacks to her parents' attempts to keep their daughter alive.
The decision, announced in a one-sentence order, was the sixth time since 2000 that the court declined to intervene in the case. Justices did not explain their decision and there was no indication how they voted.
It was also the second time in a week that the high court refused to reinsert the tube. Justices on March 24 denied the parents' emergency request based on similar claims that husband Michael Schiavo did not have her consent to remove the tube.
The high court's decision was the latest in a string of losses in state and federal courts for parents Bob and Mary Schindler, who say their 41-year-old daughter faces an unjust and imminent death based on a decision by her husband to halt nourishment without proof of her consent.
The latest emergency request argued that the federal courts didn't consider whether there was enough "clear and convincing" evidence that Terri Schiavo would have chosen to die in her current condition. It asked that her tube be reinserted while the parents more fully litigate the matter in the lower courts.
The Schindlers' appeal went first to Justice Anthony Kennedy, a Reagan appointee who has staked a moderate position on social issues. Mr. Kennedy has responsibility in the first instance for cases emanating from the Southern district that is home to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. He referred the Schiavo case to the full nine-member court.
The order from the court was swift. Ms. Schiavo's parents filed their request shortly after 9 p.m., and the court released its order at 10:40 p.m. For the parents' previous request, last week, it took the justices about 12 hours to reject.
The court's decision was expected. Not only had justices repeatedly declined to intervene in the Schiavo case on previous occasions, but they routinely defer to state courts on family law issues. Judges in various Florida courts have sided with Schiavo's husband in the 15 years since she suffered brain damage.
On Wednesday, the 11th Circuit had rejected the Schindlers' request to reinsert the tube.
