I love and cherish the life, legacy, and spirit of Mrs Pulliam! She was an instrumental part of my childhood as she played for and assisted in the direction of the children’s choir at Saint Paul CME Church. I was a child under her direction and I always felt loved and nurtured as she thought me to sing GODs praises. I appreciate her being there for us. We at Saint Paul salute her! “Well done good and faithful servant.”
