Dear List Members,
Terri is resting comfortably...She is dying with comfort measures.
Every legal aspect in the "land" reviewed.
As I said how many thousands have died this way much younger,
some children? Why is this media feast HURTING others in the
hospice, children dragged down there to protest, and worse yet
those who are in DENIAL over PVS?
Pray about it,
Karen G.

Mr. Felos said he was "grateful" for the Supreme Court decision.
"It should become obvious to everyone and every observer that the entire
judicial system of the United States, the state courts in the state of Florida,
the entire federal judiciary, has said, this case must end, this case is over,"
Mr. Felos told reporters. "Mrs. Schiavo's legal rights have been ruled on
again and again and again. The courts have consistently found that she did not
want to remain alive artificially.
"Her wishes should be carried out," he said. "And in that spirit, I hope that
the parents do not keep pursing fruitless legal options to the end. I think
their time would be better served in reflection."
A White House spokesman, Dana M. Perino, said that President Bush was told of
the Supreme Court's decision while vacationing at his ranch in Crawford,
Tex., The Associated Press said.
"The president looked at all options before signing the legislation last
weekend," Ms. Perino said. "He felt that the legislation passed by Congress was
the best course of action. Terri Schiavo's case is extraordinary and sad.
"As the president said yesterday, he believes that in a case such as this,
the legislative branch and the executive branch should err on the side of life,"
Ms. Perino said.
The Senate majority leader, Bill Frist of Tennessee, who led efforts to pass
the Congressional action, reacted in a statement to the Supreme Court decision.
AND...
Mr. Felos told reporters that Mr. Schiavo has been with his wife throughout
these last few days since her feeding tube was removed.
"Terri is peaceful," he said about Ms. Schiavo's condition. "She's resting
comfortably. She's dying. She's in her death process. She's being attended to by
a team of wonderful and compassionate professional health care workers at
hospice who are well-trained to see that her physical needs are met and she be
able to die with dignity and with peace."
