From Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin’s memorial service in Australia.

There was hardly a dry eye at the ceremony when Irwin’s 8-year-old daughter, Bindi, eulogized her father.

"I don’t want Daddy’s passion to ever end," she said. "I want to help endangered wildlife just like he did. I had the best Daddy in whole world."

"I know that Daddy had an important job," she said. "He was working to change the world so that everybody would love wildlife like he did."

    Aw, thanks, Oliver. I watched that last light. That girls’a a little star. Some other really brutal moments – especially with Steve I’s buddy Wes.

    I think Irwin was great, funny, silly, over the top, camp – beautiful. And for a geat great cause.

    Found a song written for him on an Aussie paper last week. Short and sweet.
