Sent straight from Heaven above came an Angel for us to love, KAIA LEELA DIAMOND was a pleasant surprise to her family born on March 23rd, 2009 to Eugene Jr. Black Water and Kailynn J. Mountain Horse.
It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we announce the passing of our “Precious Angel” on February 9th, 2013 surrounded by her loving family at the tender age of 3 years.
Kaia was only here for a short time, but she brought lots of love and joy to all of us; taking extra care of her baby brother Noah and sharing her sisterly love with Zahara. Our beautiful Kaia how great you were to love and hold, we enjoyed your cuddles. Together we had laughter and tears especially when we’d watch movies together especially your favorite PIRAHNA, but I think you enjoyed watching grandma Leanne scream. You were our Princess and it showed when you played dress up with your frilly little costumes and painting your nails - brightening the room with your laughter and smiles.
Kaia was an angel full of spirit who loved to play; especially with her special friends: Georgia, Sunshine and Justin. Our little girl was so small and sweet with tiny hands and feet. Everyday we watched you grow. Such a joy to be around every smile we have cherished. Kaia you changed our lives in such good ways. Thank you for the memories.
Kaia leaves to mourn her parents, Eugene Jr. Black Water and Kailyn J. Mountain Horse and Step-father Kyle, her siblings Zahara, Noah and Kevin. Her grandparents: Leanne (Medric) Eagle Plume, Eugene Sr. Black Water, Lucille Black Rabbit, Leanne Wolf Child, Becky (Harley) Old Shoes, Arnold (Bianca) Mountain Horse and Willy (Jessica) Black Plume.
