    Mrs. West lake, I'm so sorry for your loss, great man that I had the privilege to know and grow up with at the hunting camp since I was young. I would cook for him, probably not as healthy as you did , but he loved it. He always said how good you cared for him and you could see the look of love, for you in his eyes. My son Matt was devastated, as was I, but will always remember what a kind, gentle man that he was. He was a great influence in my life.Always made me gut his deer, until my son came of age, never a problem. Once again, sorry about losing your husband, he will be in our hearts forever, God bless
