8:45 a m. more mornings than I did, I’m sorry to say. In her later years, the unselfish, tireless efforts of a loving family made these things possible. The rhythm of the rain
One of my favorite tales that was told on Alice . . . and in truth, I don’t know if it actually happened . . . was when they moved to the house on 522 in what we called Pullentown, ■bout 2 miles south of Flint Hill When they moved there, the roof of the house was asbestos and tar shingles. Apparently, where Alice and Wade lived before that, the house had a tin roof.
It was always said that the first time there was a big rain, Alice got one of her galvanized wash tubs and turned it upside down under the edge of the roof near her bedroom, so she could hear the rain. If you have ever slept under a tin roof during a summer rain shower, you know that Alice had a very good idea.
Alice Pullen lived to be 93 years of age; Mom made it to 94. The impact these two wonderful women left on their families and on so many others, not by who they were or what they said, but by the way they lived their lives will, thankfully, be felt for many generations that come after them.
To Mary Frances, Alice Virginia, their families, and the many, many people who knew and loved Alice Pullen, you have our deepest sympathy and condolences.
