ability to make everyone laugh. “You'll never catch her without a smile on her face. In school, everyone would be walking around not wanting to be there but she didn't care she was always like, 'hi!' She made sure to say hi and smile at everyone in the hallway,” said Pullano’s friend Calen Monahan“If I ever had something wrong with me she would just always know what to say to make me better,” said friend Emily Mizer.Friends said Pullano helped to capture the memories of her friends and large family, by pouring her heart into her hobby of photography. They said her plan after high school was to continue capturing life on camera at the Savannah College of Art and Design.Syracuse Police said the crash happened around 12:43 a.m. Saturday.
