"  A Minnesota man donated his 400-acre Jackson County farm, worth $4 million, to the state 4-H youth organization in honor of his deceased fianc\u00E9e, KARE 11 News reported. The gesture comes after his fianc\u00E9e died unexpectedly from a blood clot in her lungs three months before their wedding. &amp;quot;I was lost,&amp;quot; Curt Chergosky told the news outlet of his life after his fianc\u00E9e&amp;#039;s death. &amp;quot;I had no idea what I was supposed to do.&amp;quot; Chergosky hadn&amp;#039;t seemed poised for love when he met Andrea Ruesch, a newly hired 4-H coordinator in Lakefield in her mid-30s, friends told the news outlet. The nearly 50-year-old, who had never really dated, fell for and proposed to Ruesch just seven months after they started seeing each other. Four years ago, while working on the farm with Chergosky, Ruesch suddenly felt ill. Chergosky called an ambulance at his fianc\u00E9e&amp;#039;s request but by the time she got to the hospital, the blood clot had taken her life. Chergosky put on his wedding ring and struggled for years to move forward after Ruesch&amp;#039;s Christmas Eve burial. This spring, with no family to pass his third-generation farm down to, he announced the donation of it to the kids Ruesch would &amp;quot;do anything for&amp;quot;\u2014those in the 4-H program at the state and county levels. He also created a college scholarship in Ruesch&amp;#039;s name for graduating 4-H high school seniors. &amp;quot;This is all for her,&amp;quot; Chergosky told KARE 11 of the donations, proving love really, truly never dies.
