Dear Tuttle Family: I did not know Chris, personally. His father, Terry, was a few years ahead of me at Ames High School. However, from the first time my mother insisted that we had to go to the Christmas Eve Mass at St. Cecilia's at which Chris would be singing, and we had to be there early, I have always felt that it wasn't Christmas until I was back in Ames, sitting in a pew at St. Cecilia's, after Communion and then Chris Tuttle stepped up to the microphone. This Christmas I will be back in Ames, sitting in a pew at St. Cecilia's, but it will be different. I will have to remember his wonderful rendition of Oh Holy Night. May he rest in peace and may you find peace on earth. Sincerely, Joan M. Waters
