- PINELLAS PARK, FL
(LifeNews.com) -- Just before representatives of her estranged husband
Michael removed her feeding tube Friday afternoon, Terri Schiavo reportedly
told an attorney for her parents that she wanted to live.
-
- Barbara Weller, one of the attorneys for Terri's parents
Bob and Mary Schindler, told reporters about her visit with Terri on Friday.
-
- "Terri, if you would just say, 'I want to live,'
all of this will be over," she told the disabled woman.
-
- Weller said Terri desperately tried to repeat Weller's
words.
-
- "'I waaaaannt ...,' Schiavo allegedly said. Weller
described it as a prolonged yell that was loud enough that police stationed
nearby entered the hospice room.
-
- "She just started yelling, 'I waaaannt, I waaaannt,'"
Weller explained.
-
- At that point, police removed Weller from Terri's hospice
room and, later, her feeding tube was removed.
-
- Randall Terry recounted Weller's experience on the "Sean
Hannity" nationally syndicated radio program.
-
- Meanwhile, another Schindler attorney described the mood
of Terri's parents after the tumultuous afternoon.
-
- "They're devastated," their lawyer, David Gibbs
told Reuters after the tube was removed. "They would change places
with her in a heartbeat, if there was any way that they could be the one
that's sick and hurting, and give their health to Terri. They're a mom,
a dad. ... It's a tough day for them."
