On September 21st 2026, Norman Thomas Black was gracefully born into the arms of Jesus. He was so loved, held and cared for in the short time he was able to be on earth. He will live forever as our guardian angel.

 Norman,

We want you to know Mom, Dad, and Iris love you so very much. You are, and will forever be, perfect every which way possible. We are so honored to have been able to meet you, hold you, and be with you, even if it was just for a few short days. We know you will grow and watch over us every second, and you will make sure we get the most out of this one life we have. We love you son, with all of our hearts. One day, Mom and Dad will be able to give you a big hug and catch up. We love you more than words will ever be able to explain.

-Mom, Dad and iris

“These are my tiny footprints, so perfect and so small, These tiny footprints never touched the ground at all.

Not one tiny footprint, for now I have wings...

These tiny footprints were meant for other things.

You will hear my tiny footprints in the patter of the rain, Gentle drops like angel tears of joy and not from pain.

You will see my tiny footprint in each butterfly's graceful dance...

I will let you know I'm with you, if you just give me a chance.

Even though I'm gone right now,

We will never be apart, Because I have left my tiny footprints safe within your heart.”
