George I am so sorry for your loss. We have crossed paths so many times with and without crappie.com events. We even broke ice one day out at North west river. I am ever so feared of loosing my new wife. We are both over the "HILL" But still young at heart. I know there is nothing that can be said to help in your time of sorrow. Just know that you are much loved and respected among us VA crappie.comers.
