Terri is in a persistent vegetative state and the court found as such, ... There are no treatments or therapies that can help her and the judge's ruling supports that position.

Terri was almost a week into her death process, ... The doctors have said that introducing hydration and nutrition artificially, she may have already suffered massive organ failure and kidney damage. What this may have done is just prolonged her death process.

It'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.

It was a very emotional moment for many of us there.

Mr. 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.

Each of us -- and the Florida Supreme Court has said this -- has a right to control our own body. We have a fundamental right to make our own medical treatment choices, and the state doesn't have a right to override our wishes.

Very calm and peaceful.

Terri's eyes do look more sunken, ... And her breathing was a little on the rapid side.

Mrs. Schiavo died a calm, peaceful and gentle death.
