Guestbook

  1. Dearest Rose: You are now reunited with your sweetheart and husband, Graham, after a twelve year challenge with the curtain of Alzheimer’s. I had the pleasure of knowing you almost sixty years and it was an honor, especially the last twenty, being married to your loving daughter, Judy. You were tough as nails but your love came through. Greatest Generation no doubt. I treasure every experience we all had together from country music shows, car races and football games to meals at Ryans, J&S and Cracker Barrel and all the other good times too numerous to mention. I wouldn’t change a thing. If I brought a smile to your face and gave you quality of life in your later years in some small way it was worth it all. I miss you Rose. There will be some lonely miles without you. But, there will be a reunion one day with you and Graham and my parents, Blaine and Francis Huntley, and we will be together in eternity. With deep love, Gerry.
