Wayne Tunstall Memoriam

Wayne Tunstall

March 22, 1943 - May 7, 1965

It has been fifty years since you departed so suddenly and so

tragically. No one ever had a brother like you.

After all this time I should be over your death but I am not. I think of you almost every day. I regret that I never told you how much I loved you, but that was just not what young men in their early twenties did. From your death, I learned a valuable lesson. I have made sure that all my friends and family

members know how much they mean to me.

I wonder what your kids would have looked like and how long it would have taken you to have your own mechanics shop. We have all had to go on living our lives but there is a hole in our hearts that cannot be filled. I am looking forward to the day when I can look on your

smiling face and hug those broad shoulders and I am thankful that the Lord Jesus Christ has forgiven all our sins

and shortcomings.

We love and miss you.

Tommy & Family

Tommy, What a sweet and thoughtful message. We all still think of Wayne and miss him and what could have been. Allen and John speak of him often. We will all see him again one day.
