'Tis a sad day

I was preparing to go to work when I heard the awful news of Steve Irwin, Australia's Croc Hunter, being killed by a stingray. He was only 44, and for me the saddest part is not how the world has lost one of its greatest wildlife icon/environmentalist/conservationist.....but the immense loss for his precious family. Steve Irwin leaves behind his wife, Terri, daughter Bindi Sue 8, and son Bob, 3.

Sigh, my heart goes out to them. His daughter Bindi Sue...is really such a darling, and has caught on her Daddy's passion for crocs. I saw her fearlessly cradling baby crocs on Oprah, and freaking Oprah out of course.

The world will miss you Steve Irwin, and your infectious enthusiasm, larger-than-life personality, and the joy and laughter you've brought.

Join the msn community in a gesture of remembrance for Steve, by adding a turtle icon in front of your msn nick. Just type (tu) for it to appear.
