Here's a link for a short article on Terri's legacy:

With the passing of Pope John Paul II this past week, it seems that the forces of evil are on the ascendancy...
After all, two innocent people (at least innocent of any heinous crimes as our society would classify them) have died in the public's eye and the "deathlovers" seem pretty satisfied with the outcome.
John Paul was a vocal opponent of abortion and euthanasia. He stood tall and held his ground on these issues, even though many in America didn't like his stance. To quote some talk show guest I heard on the radio in passing this morning: "You may not have agreed with the Pope, but you respected him because you knew where he stood."
And he stood for Christ.
Terri's sad suffering and death and John Paul's gracious and gradual dying help illustrate Christ's own innocent suffering and death for the sins of the world. Possibly, these two recent events will open doors with friends and loved ones to share the Gospel?
Maybe that's why the Lord called them both home so soon?
