He was there for me every step of the way when he was out for a few weeks last year. There’s not a soul that didn’t love him. God sent us an angel for 16 years that we didn’t deserve.”Morgan Academy head of school Bryan Oliver said late Tuesday night that no funeral arrangements had been announced yet for Tellier.
