He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say
"I love you" one more time
And when he heard the sound of the kids
Laughin' in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eyes
And a little voice came on the phone
Said Daddy when you're comin' home
He said the first thing
That came through his mind
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your immaginary friend
And I know I'm in your prayers
Oh,I'm already there
She got back on the phone
Said I really miss you darlin'
Don't worry about the kids
They'll be allright
Wish I was in your arms
Lyin'right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn off the light and close your eyes
I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beattin'of your heart
I'm the moonlight shinin'down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there 'till the end
Can you feel the love that we shared
Oh,I'm already there
We may be a thousand miles appart
But I'll be with you wherever you are
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there 'till the end
Can you feel the love that we shared
Oh,I'm already there........
With all my love for Terri,the kids and all who love Steve.
May angels be with you,Steve!

I have lost my Dad and my Sister very recently and very suddenly. Words can not say what I feel for this family. Steve was like a part of our family and so were the rest of you. I wish I could take your pain away. Days don't get better, they just get different. Please know the world grieves with you. You are like our family. We will keep you in our hearts every day. A man so full of life should not be forgotten. God be with his wife and children. Marcia & Russell Friends from Oklahoma

To Terry!
Today, if a smile comes to you, a happy smile that perhaps you can`t explain. It`s because in that moment Steve is thinking of you in heaven, and smiling to.
God bless you, Mr Bob Irwin, Bindi, Little Bob, Wes, Briano and all staff at Australia Zoo

Terri, my heart hurts for you.
I know how you're feeling. Read Audin!
I saw you on 20/20 and I had tears running down my face.
Girl, you are an inspiration.
You and Steve together would have done it.
You both had a message to send and you will do it now.
How do I/We help?

Dear Steve,
You touched my own life in a way I never thought possible. I used to watch your show all the time when I was a little girl, catching snakes and hunting for salamanders in the woods, wearing Khaki shorts. :)
After that, however, I grew older, and my focus on you and your message wavered. With things such as computer, boys, friends racing through my head, I was starting middle school. I hardly watched your shows when I was in junior high, focusing more on the internet and friends than I did the big message that you were trying to get out. And life went on for me, not caring about the animals, what went on around me; and that was how it happened until that fateful day.
I am now in high school, and I got the news that glorious morning. The sunlight streamed down from the sky, it looked so beautiful. My mom came in and woke me up, and she told me the news. At first I thought it was a joke, you couldn't die! What was she playing at? But she told me again, and I had to see for myself. I walked slowly downstairs, dread pounding in my heart, as I moved to face the computer.
"Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin Died by a Stingray"
That was the news I saw. I sat there, dumbfounded, not wanting to believe that you are really gone. It had been so perfect, with you around, though I didn't pay much attention. But now I did. I watched the memorial service and the interviews of you, and I cried. I cried for myself, for Bindi, Terri, and Bob, I cried for the animals and everyone around the world. But I knew I couldn't stay like this, an emotional wreck. Now that your passing, I felt in some strange way, glad. A veil had been lifted from me, and I was more motivated than ever to help preserve your legacy, and help in anyway that I can. So I called up my local zoo, filled out an application, and waited. Though they couldn't accept me until next year, I do all that I can to help with animal conservation. Whether speaking to my fellow peers about bugs (Ah Crikey, don't squish that bug!) or snakes (He won't hurt you, he's harmless!) to lizards (See that? That neck frill is for attracting a mate!), I told people around my school how sad it was to loose such a wonderful man; but how we all could help protect wildlife. We'll be Wildlife Warriors together, all of us will join together and make the world a better place.
I know you're watching down on us from Heaven, Hello up there! You see all your crocs, animals you helped; and you can see your mum. She's right proud of you, and we all know you did what had to be done, and Crikey, Steve, you did. You got your message out, I feel it first hand! Don't worry Steve, we'll take it from here. I miss you so much, and we all love you!

Dear Terri, Bindi and little Bob. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Terri you are such a strong woman and Steve is so proud of you. One day you will see your prince again and he will tell you how he watched over you and watched you and his children carry on his crusade for wildlife.
Steve touched my life and so many people's lives, people that he never even met. I felt as if I knew him and have mourned his loss as I would a member of my own family.
Even in death Steve's message will carry on and nobody will ever forget him. I am praying one day that I will meet him in heaven and thank him for all he brought into my life and for all he did to create awareness for God's creatures.

Dear Terri, Bindi and Bob. As a transplant from California to Eugene, OR, and back to California, in 1977, I offer you my condolences for the loss of your wonderful husband, and the children's daddy, as well as Steve's father for the loss of his best mate. We all will miss Steve's exurberance for his love of animals, his excitement in sharing his knowledge with us, and taking us on many adventures. By crikey, cannot ever be spoken again without thinking of Steve.

How is it possible to feel such grief for a person I never met? Yet I ache inside. How is it I cry for Terri, Bindi & Robert as if they were my own? What an incredible spirit you had, Steve Irwin to have this effect on people across the world. I wish I could've met you. However, I will remember you as you wished. For your passion, enthusiasm, & conservation. Thank you Terri, Bindi & Robert for allowing us to become a part of your lives. Thank you for the Memorial Service to help us in the grieving process as well. My heart & prayers got out to all of you, as well as Bob Irwin, John Stainton, Wes, & all the staff at the zoo. And to all the animals...

Time does heal, as I now know, the loss of someone so great but thank God it won't make me forget the worldest greatest animal hero. This last month has been a month of reflecting on the life of a great mate...unfortunately for his family and the animals this could not have been 20, 30 or even 40 years from now. He touched us all and I hope that we will do even the smallest of things for the animals and conservation...every little thing helps. God Bless Steve Irwin, the Irwin family and all zoo staff and friends. Keep the dream going guys, the animals are counting on you, on us:) You all are in my thoughts and prayers always.

I loved Steve Soo much. I'd do anything to geet him back. I'll always miss him. To Terri, Bindi, Bob, Family ,Friends, and people who worked with him, I send a ton of love.
I'll never forget him or his shows. He always made me feel that I was right there with him and the animal. I have pictures of him everywhere. I feel that whatever reason thay it was that G-D took him,it must have been agood one. I'll miss him like he was my own father.
Sending lots of love to Terri, Bindi, Bob and the rest,
