As many of you know we lost our patriarch Clifford Black Elk suddenly and unexpectedly last night. It’s still a shock to us and we were in no way prepared for such a devastating tragedy. Clifford was a well liked and well loved person. He made a difference in a lot of people’s lives. We anticipate a lot of people coming to pay respects to Cliff in the next coming days and we are asking for financial assistance to feed everyone and cover expenses due to our sudden loss. Clifford was the sole financial provider in our home. He was hard working, well respected and humble throughout his life. He didn’t go a day without working or helping someone. He was dedicated, dependable, and always went the extra mile in all of his endeavors. All donations will be used for the wake, funeral, and memorial expenses.
