"It is nothing else but murder. It is a victory of the culture of death over life. This is not a natural death; it is an imposed death." - Cardinal Renato Martino of the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace
"I'm saddened by her passing, and I'm pained by it. It's unnecessary, in the end. She was starved and dehydrated to death. To me, it was merciless rather than merciful." The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who supported the Schindlers
"This is not only a death, with all the sadness that brings, this is a killing. For that, we not only grieve that Terri has passed, but we grieve that our nation has allowed such an atrocity as this, and we pray that it will never happen again." - Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, who was with Terri shortly before her death
"Today I join with all those mourning Terri Schiavo's passing. I am deeply saddened by her loss. I pray for her mother and father, her family and all those involved in this regrettable loss of life. May God bless her memory." - U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tennessee
"Mrs. Schiavo's death is a moral poverty and a legal tragedy. This loss happened because our legal system did not protect the people who need protection most, and that will change. The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior, but not today. Today we grieve, we pray, and we hope to God this fate never befalls another." - U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas

What can we say?
I think Michael did not let Terri's family in for her last moments is because it was not all the Peacefull and quiet and painless like he and Felos has been espousing.
He didn't want the Family to see how Terri really suffered and lingered for many many hours befroe her death.
He knew it was bad and didn't want anybody to see.!!!!!!!
