Chanda Spotted Elk & Eleven Lewis says
I made a great friend on Friday May 3rd and she passed on Thursday May 12th. In the short time I spent with her she was such an amazing person. I witnessed her love for her kids and family and life. She reminded me daily that God is in everything still. Her humor was classy and she never demeaned anyone. Her love was genuine and my sister Eleven & I are very grateful to have spent her last week on earth with her. For the first time I felt comfortable with life like my mom was still here. Always hug & be good to one another you never know when it is going to be the last time you see them……..Rest In Peace Barbara Little Bird. Thank you for sharing your life with us. We learned alot in such a short time.
Janice Littlebird says
