OT: Terri Shiavo had passed away

It's a very sad day today. She passed away this morning. My prayers are with her family! Kim

I know I am very sad about that. I feel badly for her family and the ones who are left behind. Take care, Christine

No matter what her wishes were, and I don't know that we will truly ever know, she is at peace with her mind and body now. I pray for the Schindlers and for the Schiavos, this journey has not been easy for any of them. I hope the surviving friends and family can find comfort in the coming days that will be filled with so much sorrow. I hope the media can give the families some peace and quiet and be respectful of the fact a woman -- a wife, a sister and a daughter -- they all loved so much has died.

It's always a sad day when anyone passes away. I only hope we can all learn from this awful case and put our wishes in writing NOW, no matter what age we are! Jan

I agree with Jan on this one...well I think I always agree with her anyways. I am sad for both sides. I have been making my wishes known and in writing now...I don't want my family to have to go thru this. Tracey

I just heard the news and my prayers are with her family and friends and supporters. She is at peace now. wanda

You are so right.........it's a lesson learned about being prepared. My grandmother (who lived to be 96, by the way) had a living will where she specifically said that she did not want the insertion of a feeding tube. She made certain that her five children knew about it, too. She figured they wouldn't have to worry about discontinuing something that she insisted not be started. She was a wise lady. My prayers are with these families and families everywhere that are confronted with these cir****tances. Ruthanna
