Steve Irwin Memorial

I just got finished watching the very moving memorial to Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin that aired on the animal planet and if you get a chance to watch it, I would definately recommend it. I cried the whole way through it, while my loving husband laughed at me. One of the saddest moments was when his Dad was speaking and stated, "Don't mourn for Steve, he is at peace now. Mourn for the wildlife who have lost their best friend....As have I." (I am about to start crying again) The other thing that stood out to me was when they were reading a poem and I can't remember the exact wording, but it said something about the sound that people have been hearing is the sound of the crocodiles crying.
I also read an article on the web that said that at least a dozen sting rays have been killed following Steve's death and I think that woud have been the last thing that he would have wanted....so then I cried some more. ( I know, I know...I'm a baby)

There has never been someone who has been so passionate about being the voice for something that couldn't speak. I just hope that several more people step up to take his place...He was an amazing man! The thing that I admired most about him (besides his tireless conservation of wildlife, of course) was the fact that he was this big tough man, yet he would cry over his family or an animal in need...He was a very caring person!

Above is a pic of his family at the memorial service held at the croc stadium at Austrailia Zoo.
