Honoring Terri--some ideas
If you wish to honor Theresa Marie Schindler in some way, I've come up with some ideas. The places I've listed have not all been vetted by me personally, so use them at your own risk. I've picked sites that seem reliable and have very few or no popups at all.
1. Name a star for her. The International Star Registry is the well-known place to do this--even Carl Sagan and his wife bought themselves a double star before he died in 1996. The link: Name a Star at International Star Registry (R)
2. Plant a tree in her name. There is an organization that will plant a tree in Jerusalem in someone's honor. The link: Jewish National Fund Online Tree Planting Center
3. Buy a Perpetual Enrollment Mass in her name, or an Annual Mass. This can be done at many local Catholic churches, or they can give you information there. Several online links:
Missionaries of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary: Card and Booklet Requests
About Mass Cards (this one is from the Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima)
CATALOGO VIRTUALE 1 (you need to scroll almost to the bottom of the page to find Mass enrollments)
Shrine Memorials & Donations (this site offers both Mass enrollments and actual physical memorials)
Order of Mercy
Passionist Monastery Forms
If you wish to notify the Schindler family that you have honored their beloved daughter in some way, the address I used to send my own Perpetual Mass Enrollment card to is:
The Schindler Family
c/o Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation
4615 Gulf Blvd #104-103
St Petersburg Beach, FL 33706
