Alana Marie Tello was a wonderful, beautiful, kind, and caring 16 year old girl that loved life.  She was the spark in her mother’s eye.  Alana was the daughter of Junior and Christy Tello of Horn Lake and was a student at Horn Lake High School. She was the best big sister to her little brother Jay (Papas). Her mother Christy received the devastating call on Nov. 1 that her tragic life was cut short in a senseless act of violence.  You may have seen Alana working alongside her parents for the last several years at their family’s restaurant in Horn Lake, Southern Grub (Formally HT Ponders) or playing soccer.  She loved her friends and her church family.

As a family friend, I am hoping each of you will lift up Alana’s family with your thoughts and prayers and help them with the expenses of burying this young girl and to also help out with their living expenses so that her family can take time to grieve the loss of their daughter.
