Friar Paul O'Donnell, spiritual advisor to Bob and Mary Schindler, said Schiavo received a visit from her father and friend Sunday night. When the friend, identified as Sherry, recalled their days dancing and partying together, Schiavo ''raised her hands up and was moving and started making gutteral sounds like she does when she talks to her mother,'' O'Donnell said.

Doctors have concluded that Schiavo is in a persistent vegetative state and that apparent reactions to loved ones are reflective. Supporters of the Schindlers are still hoping Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will intervene to replace a feeding tube that has kept Schiavo alive the last 15 years.

O'Donnell and other family spokesmen have been making regular pleads to replace the tube since it was removed 10 days ago.

''Everyone is willing to write this woman's obituary except one person and that's Terri Schiavo,'' O'Donnell said.

The courts have ruled that Schiavo did not wish to stay alive through artificial feeding. Gov. Bush has said there is no more he can do.

Here is why I do not believe Michael Schivo. If Terri is nothing more than a vegtable as Michael believes, then why is he so "hell bent" on having her die. She doesn't know what she is like. He says "she would not want to live like this. Well she doesn't know she is living like this if she is a vegtable as he believes. Why would he not let her Mother and Father care for her since it doesn't matter to her. But she is priceless to them. What kind of love does he have for her if he is willing to destroy her family , the people she loves the most.It made me sick when I read that "he was really having a hard time with people calling him a murderer. I wonder if he has thought about the pain he is causing the Schindler's ( or is that what this is really all about)
