I've finished all life has for me, I've been invited to the great hunting ground, where everyday is a wondrous day to hunt and fish. Don't worry or feel sad for me, for I'm hunting with the Master of the Hunt.  We'll miss each other for some time. For all that think of me, know that I am on a great hunt and happy as can be. To those that wonder of my early farewell, tell them I've gone hunting with the Master.
