[Mishmash] Steve Irwin Tragically Dies

[Ingrid & Eric Holzman]

Hey David,

It's wonderful to see your e-mail in my inbox.  It's incredibly sad what 
happened, particularly when I think about his two young children, but one 
has to realize that with the type of job he had, there were risks involved. 
Granted, this was a freak accident.  For me, knowing that his death seemed 
to be quick was somewhat consoling.  I can only hope the family can take 
solace in that knowledge as well.

Ingrid
