Peace vs Anger

Thoughts of Peace from the Schindlers at Blogs for Terri.

The Schiavos on the other hand plan to deny the Schindlers access to the burial:

LEVITTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- Terri Schiavo's ashes will be buried in an undisclosed location near Philadelphia so that her immediate family doesn't show up and turn the burial into a media spectacle, a member of the Schiavo family said Thursday.

"If Mike knew they would come in peace, he would have no problem with it," Scott Schiavo, Michael Schiavo's brother, said during an interview at his home.

After an autopsy, Michael Schiavo plans to have his wife's body cremated and her ashes brought to Pennsylvania, where she grew up. Scott Schiavo said the ashes would be buried in a plot left by an aunt and uncle, but the family does not plan on providing the specficic location for the burial - underscoring the bitterness of the dispute.

And Michael Schiavo's actions speak louder than any words to the contrary:

Scott Schiavo expressed relief that his sister-in-law's ordeal was over, and anger at those who have attacked the Schiavo family.

"This isn't over by a long shot, We're going to get our name right," he said. "The world is going to know who Mike was, they're going to know Mike wasn't a beast."

Pray, do tell.

I will be the first to admit I was wrong.

UPDATE:

Hyscience is exasperated too.
