I hope you are now in the loving company of your mother and beloved dog, Sui.

May you live eternally in a wonderful garden surrounded by all the creatures you loved so much in your life.

You fought the good fight in defense of our weaker brothers, Steve.

We, who admired you, will not cry. We're gonna celebrate your inspiring example.

Rest in peace, mate.
