Guestbook

  1. My love and prayers are with each of you as you mourn the loss of a very good man, father, grandfather, etc., etc. My life was changed because of Rev. Tuttle’s influence. I first met him at church camp and for the first time he made me feel important and special in God’s eyes. He was there for me when I needed someone to talk to, when I was struggling and didn’t know where to turn, and when I was proud to bring my children to meet him. He wasn’t just a good man, he was a man of significance because he truly cared about others and went the extra mile when necessary. I am now an elementary principal and I pray every morning that I will be able to touch a life the way Rev. Tuttle touched mine. God bless you all, Kimmy-lou (his nickname for me)
