To Terri, sweet Bindi, little Bob,big Bob,Wes and to the animals.
I do not even know how to express the sorrow that I feel for all of you and to the animals who have lost such an amazing man, including myself who has lost a hero.
I greive with you, and I just have to say that Steve has changed my life, he gave me an encredible gift, which was knowledge, and an even greater passion for animals,I never thought it could be possible that my love for animals could ever have been stronger, But Steve made it possible.
I have always felt a kinship with animals, and growing up with my grandparents, and spending most of my childhood camping, I learned through them to love and honour all wildlife and their habitats.
watching Steve and your family on T.V always made me think of my Grammy, and how I feel blessed to have learned from two very special people( steve and Grammy) what a true gift animals are, be it wildlife or pets.
thank you Steve Irwin for showing the world how precious animals are, and for being such a passionate wildlife warrior,the animals, and millions of people around the world and myself will always appreciate and love you so much for the true gift that you have given the animal kingdom.
Little Bindi and Bob, you have been so blessed to have such a wonderful daddy, and you are his greatest acomplishments, you are such beautiful examples of what your father and mother are. sending you both hugs and kisses and lots of love.
Terri, My love and prayers are with you, you are my hero as well, and thank you for everything that you have done,I love you and am thinking of you in your time of loss, God bless. hugs to you, Terri.
Bob,you are an amazing man, and to have raised such an incredible son, shows me that you are a hero as well, you passed on to him allot of the values that he had, god bless you Mr.Irwin, and I send my love to you as well.
Wes, you became a hero of mine as well, you, like your best Mate, are a true hero, and My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless, and Love to you.
to Steve,your loss is a great one to me, you were a true hero, and I wish that there were more people in the world like you.
I love you Steve Irwin, and your loss will always be felt.
I greive for the animals whom have lost a man who loved them so much, and did so much to protect and help them,I do know that Steve is up there, watching over them,and that brings me comfort, I know he will continue to be a wildlife warrior in heaven.
Love becky

Well its been almost a month and im still in shock I can only imagine how hard it must be for his family and friends. We have lost a true wildlife warrior, a guy who taught the world to love animals instead of fearing them.
I can only take solace knowing he has changed things for the better down here, and is now up there now exploring creatures long since extinct... I bet he is shouting DINO'S RULE as we speak.

Dear Steve,
I would like to thank you,
for everything you've given us.
You gave us a Gift...Of ultimate love
That gift...
That wonderful gift...
Was knowledge
you taught us not to be afraid of our world,
or the creatures in it.
you taught us to love all living things,
no matter how odd looking.
no matter how scary.
no matter how dangerous they are.
you made us laugh,
you made us cry,
but Above all else...You made us care.
And for that...I thank you.
only one thing left to say,
it is our turn now.
Our turn to teach others...
Crikey, Crocs rule!
Love,
Evee, Boo, Becki, Jim, and Jesse

i can't imagine what Terri and the children are going through. Steve was a great father and he was also a really good crocodile hunter! I live in Iceland which is far away from Australia but we really miss Steve, we saw him on tv just like everyone else. when I saw it on the news that he died I was in shock. i was just watching the interview with Terri about Steve's ceromony and gosh I cried my eyes out! I could hear it on her voice how much she loved Steve and how hard it was to tell Bindi that her hero passed away. I don't know if Terri will ever read this but if she does I just want to say that I am so sorry for you loss, I know that Steve will always be in your heart and he's watching you and the kids. I really really miss him. also hug Bindi cuz she's so brave and she's only 8 years old.
Hugs and kisses to Terri and the kids,

It's hard to know what to say, but to say nothing would be wrong. I was a big fan of steve, he inspired me, and was like a friend even though I never met him. My thoughts and prayers go out to you steve, and your family. I was simply amazed that little Bindi Sue had the courage to get up in front of over 300 million people and say what she said. It was amazing. RIP mate.

God Bless Your Family
They say that memories are golden,
Well, maybe that is true.
They never wanted memories, they only wanted you.
A million times they needed you, a million times they cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life they loved you dearly, In death they love you still.
In their hearts you hold a place, no one could ever fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache could build a lane. They would walk the path to heaven, and bring you back again.
Your family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one. The chain will link again.

When I heard about Steve's death it shocked me, I couldnt believe that the person that I would see on TV everyday had actually passes away, at first i truley didn't believe then once I got to school all of my friends were talking about it. I feel most for Terri, I am so sorry for your lost and I also feel for Bindi and Robert. Steve will always be missed even though I dont personally know Steve I know that he was a great guy and the love he had for animals was amazing.

My heart goes out to you and your family. I have enjoyed watching you and your husband on the crocodile hunter. I loved watching his enthusiasm and sense of humor and could sense the love that he had for all creatures. He will very missed. It feels as if I have lost a member of my own family. Please take care and know that you are not alone and that your husband is with you always thru this journey.
