Thanks to The Anchoress, I read a wonderful witness to the value of life written by Lecticia Velasquez. She reflects on the death of Terri Shiavo, John Paul II and on the life of her daughter with Down syndrome.
As you know, Terri Schiavo was starved and dehydrated to death, dying on March 31, 2005 and Pope John Paul II died on April 2 of the same year.
Log on to: Death in the Springtime: Terri Schiavo and Pope John Paul II to read the essay.
