Couple of Savage photos in her Field and Stream photo shoot. 2 or 3 Savage 99's were used from my Godfather's collection. This vid was my way of coping. We (Wife and I ) flew back to Minnesota to assist in hospice care from Tue last week, flew out Sunday. She died today with my sister present, in her apartment, peacefully. No sympathy needed, just spend 5 min and watch her video I put together. Thanks fellas. She was a Maverick, started hunting in 1958 breaking barriers women should not have...before N.O.W....one of the fellas. She took a lot of crap in Deer and Elk camp, and she dished it back just as hard! Love ya mom! Click Vimeo Link below, then > Play buttonhttps://vimeo.com/251251546

Loosing your parents is hard. Those are great old photos and she looks like she was a happy woman and mother. I'm sure Johnny thinks so too.

Like many others here, I know what it is like to lose a parent.
In your case, I would feel very comfortable in saying that she lived the life she wanted. Many cannot say that. And she lived a better life than any Femi Nazi will ever know. I tip my hat to a fine woman who did it her way.
