I, like many, am heart broken to hear about Steve Irwin's death. Animals have been a passion of mine since I was a toddler. Even though no one else in my family was very interested in wild life, I always craved the opportunity to interact with animals. Unfortunately, I was "blessed" with severe allergies to many animals and was unable to be around them as much as I had always hoped. Steve Irwin's shows have been wonderful because I was given the opportunity to enjoy wildlife in ways I never imagined. There are many animals finatics and show hosts in the world, but the Irwin family's passion educates and gives opportunity at a level that no one else has been able to. Thank you to the Irwin family for you dedication. You are in our prayers and thoughts. I am so honored to have been able to experience part of the Irwin legacy before Steve passed away and hope the experience will continue in the future.
