The cremated remains of Terri Schiavo were buried today at Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park in Clearwater, Florida in the presence of her husband, Michael Schiavo, some of his brothers and a priest.
Terri's bronze grave marker is inscribed at the bottom with the words "I kept my promise," apparently aimed at memorializing her husband who successfully brought about her death by withholding food and water.
Despite his prior testimony during a 1992 malpractice lawsuit, Michael chose to list Feb. 25, 1990, as the date she "Departed this Earth." (Michael testified during the trial, "I believe in the vows that I took with my wife. Through sickness, in health, for richer or poorer. I married my wife because I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I'm going to do that.") Terri actually died on March 31, 2005 after nearly two weeks without food and water.
Contrary to a court order, Terri's parents and siblings were not notified of the memorial service in advance. Instead, they found out about it from reporters who called them with questions. "... That's sad for the family," said David Gibbs, attorney for the Schindlers.
