The tragic case of Terri Schiavo in Florida highlights the importance of making our health-care wishes known.
- Bill NelsonPeople with deep faith and big hearts are concerned, as I am about the circumstance that Ms. Schiavo is in. I want them to know I will do what I can, but there are limits to what any particular person - irrespective of the title they currently hold - can do.
- Jeb BushIt`s not about the money. This is about Terri. It`s not about the Schindlers, it`s not about the legislators, it`s not about me, it`s about what Terri Schiavo wanted.
- Michael SchiavoMr. Schiavo`s overriding concern was Mrs. Schiavo has a right and had a right to die with dignity and die in peace. She had a right to have her last and final moments on this Earth be experienced by a spirit of love and not of acrimony.
- Appius ClaudiusMrs. Schiavo died a calm, peaceful and gentle death.

- Appius ClaudiusIt`s our understanding that the Schindlers spent some time with Terri`s body. They were free to spend as much time as they chose with her body. After they left, the hospice workers bathed Terri`s body, and Mr. Schiavo and all of us went back in to spend some more time.
