Please accept my deepest condolences, my parents, Jim and Henrietta Bunch who have since passed away were dear friends with Steve and Leoneldia Irwin, I spent many fun weekends visiting with my parents at their cabin on the Ohio River and all the Irwin boys were so kind to me. Can still remember the wonderful meals she cooked! I was always so impressed with the Irwin brother“s great comic book collection. Steve visited my parents in their later years and I will always be grateful for that kindness. May you be comforted with special memories to sustain you through your grief.
