Police escort a van allegedly carrying the body of Terri Schiavo away from the Woodside Hospice on Thursday in Pinellas Park, FL
Moments after the news of her death, members of the Florida Senate held a moment of silence for Terri Schindler-Schiavo.
“Regardless of your perspective on end-of-life issues this is very sad moment and a very reflective moment for a lot of us,” said Senate President Tom Lee.

I wonder what went through the minds of those senators who were responsible for blocking legislation to potentially save Terri's life during that moment of silence for her.
Did they reflect on their role in this woman's death?
Did they believe they did the right thing?
Did they feel guilt for extinguishing a life?
I sincerely doubt it.
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
