Jerger-Centonze held fundraisers for Hospice Foundation

Even after her death, all roads in the life and times of Terri Schindler Schiavo lead back to the Attorney George Felos-extolled Woodside Hospice.
Listed under "fundraisers" on the website of Liberty American Insurance Group is "The Hospice Foundation".
The Jerger & Centonze Insurnance (sic) Agency Inc., an inactive company, owns the Liberty American Insurance Group.
The Jerger & Centonze Insurance Agency was established in January 2001 at the home of Michael Schiavo and girlfriend, Jody Centonze, identified as Schiavo’s fiancée for the first time in the obituary of his mother, Clara.
The principal mailing address of the company is listed as 2807 Marrie Court, Clearwater, Fla.
This address is listed as owned by Jodi A. Centonze in Pinellas County appraisers’ records.
Michael Schiavo is listed as a 2002 company director at the same Marrie Court address.
Richard M. Jerger Jr., listed on 2002 company papers as a director, is a stockholder in Philadelphia Consolidated Holding Corp., which sold 2,902 shares of stock in 2001 for $102,933.
Why would the Philadelphia Consolidated Holding Corp. buy Jerger & Centonze with a stock and cash deal valued at over $40 million?
Who in the insurance industry would want to truck with a corporation that misspelled its own name--a misspelling that in spite of its place in cyberspace no one moved to correct in three years?
A paper trail on the corporate profile of Jerger-Centonze can be followed through the Florida Department of Insurance Regulators website–Jerger’s ownership of Liberty American Insurance Group, its sale to Philadelphia Casualty and the ensuring formation of Jerger-Centonze Insurance Agency, an exclusive agent for Liberty American Insurance are all there.
An article from the Washington Post, dated March 23, 2005 reveals that Jerger-Centonze was sold to Philadelphia Casualty in October 2002.
"Incidentally, Mr. Jerger also owns Jerger Holding Corp. and Liberty America Insurance Co, which was also sold to Philadelphia Casualty at the same time its "exclusive agent" Jerger-Centonze Insurance Agency was sold.
Located in the Tampa Bay area, Liberty American Insurance Group, a holding company for two personal lines insurance companies, has licenses in 10 additional states.
Aside from not knowing how to spell the word "insurance", though some contend the misspelling may have been a means to dodge detection, Michael and Jody seem to be pros at the ins and outs of the insurance industry.
Michael Schiavo’s know-how in insurance may predate Jody Centonze.
When they were still newlyweds in Levittown, Pa, Michael worked nights managing restaurants, while Terri worked days for Prudential Insurance.
As msngroups.com states, "the dissolution of Jerger-Centonze Insurance Agency, coupled with the timing of Terri’s eligibility for Medicaid, causes more than one eyebrow to lift."
