This chaps my hide....
Michael Schiavo just had to get the final parting shots at Terri's parents; problem is he used her tombstone to do it. How inappropriate; how mind-boggling inappropriate. ..

Schiavo parents upset by grave inscription
FLORIDA -- Terri Schiavo's husband buried her cremated remains Monday in Clearwater, inscribing "I kept my promise" on her bronze grave marker. Michael Schiavo also listed Feb. 25, 1990, on the marker as the date his wife "Departed this Earth." That's the day his wife collapsed and fell into what most doctors said was an irreversible vegetative state. Terri Schiavo died March 31. The grave marker lists that date as when Schiavo was "at peace." The inscription inflamed her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, who had waged a long legal battle to keep their severely brain-damaged daughter alive. They also said that they had not been notified about the service beforehand.

(1)A tombstone is supposed to be a tribute to the one whose body is buried. And yet, by putting "I kept my promise" on there, Michael is glorifying himself, not her, and saying "I did the right thing!". The tombstone is not the place to do that.
(2)By putting the 1990 date on there, he is firing one more shot at the parents.
