From my summer home in Minnesota I am privately bidding our dear Mrs. Pomp a fond farewell. Barbara Pomp was ever a lady and kept us Kwo Ne She's on our toes as well as dedicating hours to keeping after our beloved Par.
May God bless her for her dedication to this enormous task and for the many kindnesses she showed to the dancers. Rest in peace Mrs. Pomp...with love...Santee Running Water##imported-begin##Sandie Ryan Crawford##imported-end##
Spirts of our days in the song of hiawatha pagent are many!I called you mom and with that memory you shall always be dear to my heart and soul till we meet again before the great spirit!Later mom-nokomis-Howard-Hiawatha We are not alone!##imported-begin##Howard Peitsch _Hiwawatha!##imported-end##
As a teen and young adult, I regarded her as a matriarch in my Song of Hiawatha family. One night when we gathered for a post-show meeting at Big Timber Lodge, she was asked to get up and speak. She started limping toward the front of the room saying she had hurt her hip in that night's performance. There was a collective, sympathetic gasp from her listeners. Right on cue, she walked briskly, saying "Just kidding!" She and you are in my thoughts today. Peace and blessings.##imported-begin##David Hennessey##imported-end##
Kathy, J.B. - It is around 3:30 pm Michigan time so I know you are in the midst of greeting and preparing. My love and thoughts are there this moment with you and the family. What a gift that your good mother was in her own home until the end.
Peace be with you - all of you.

I am so blessed to have known Grandma Barb. Her cookies were awesome and I don't think they will ever be reproduced. Cleaning for Barb was such a joy for me. She would always say "don't be so fussy" and there was always a cup of coffee in the pot, which she always shared with me as soon as I arrived at her house. I loved talking crafts with her. We both love sewing, knitting, etc. and she always wished more young people were taught these skills. I will miss her wonderful face and her spirit. I think Barb is working on a beautiful quilt or making a 6 foot beaded Christmas tree to decorate heaven. I will miss you Barb, take care, Virginia##imported-begin##Virginia Bleich##imported-end##
