Mrs. Pomasl was my favorite teacher of all time! When I was ill with rheumatic fever, she came to our home to tutor me so I wouldn't be left behind my classmates in school! She was such a special person, and will be missed in our community.
Aunt Gina with "some" of her great-great-great neices & nephews. You were deeply loved by us all and we will miss you forever.
Mrs Pomasl was my 8th grade teacher at White Lake grade school. I think she taught all of us...one of my memories of her was one time, right after being allowed to wear lipstick by my parents, I blotted my lips on a piece of paper and threw it in the garbage, this did not sit well with her so she asked who did it, and of course no one spoke up..so therefore she was going to make us all stay until the guilty one confessed...So, I told her it was me...She told me that I could not wear any lipstick to school for two weeks...I was devestated!! so the next day, I went back to school, lipstick intact and she gave me a look, and I told her my mother said I could wear it...(she hadn't) but from that day on, we became good friends...I respected her so much, the last time I see her was at the Boyd cafe...I know she will be missed..RIP, Mrs Pomasl...
Dear Julia, your mom was a lovely woman. I loved sharing my flowers with her, knowing how much she loved them. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Bob and Jo Lomprey
