From a friend of Terri Schiavo:
10/14/03


Terri Schindler-Schiavo, age 39, will have her feeding tube removed at 2PM on Wednesday, October 15, unless Florida Governor Jeb Bush is persuaded to intervene.

Terri Schindler-Schiavo, although disabled, is not in a coma. She is not in a vegetative state. She laughs, and cries, she says yes and no. She has clearly communicated that she does not want to be starved to death.

Yesterday, at 12 noon, Terri's family and friends began a 24-hour-a-day vigil outside the Woodside Hospice where Terri lives in Florida. The vigil will continue until Terri is rescued by Governor Bush, or starved to death.

Bob & Mary Schindler have said, "We love our daughter very much and we want her home. Over the last 13 years, Terri has laughed with us, cried with us, talked with us, and even tried to get out of her chair. The accusations that Terri is in a coma or is a "vegetable" are a lie. We beg Michael Schiavo, and those working with him to end our daughter's life, to let her come home to her family. We will sign any agreement you want, giving you all monies related to Terri's collapse and any insurance money that may be forthcoming. You take the money. We just want our daughter."
