A Tribute to Gavin Norton

Posted in Uncategorized

Many of you know of the recent loss experienced by my friend and fellow photographer, Natalie Norton and her family. Baby Gavin was two and a half months old and fought several sicknesses for the past 9 days. It is my personal belief that Gavin was so pure and so noble that God needed to call him home early. I couldn’t help but think of this sweet baby and what the Norton’s might be going through at this time. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of trial. You are an excellent example to us of what it means to have faith and trust in God that everything will be okay. Thank you for that.

The images in this short video come from Natalie’s blog. The music is a song called Held, by Natalie Grant. The quotes come from various sources, with a few from readers of Natalie’s blog.

Just wanted to tell you how much this touched me, Gavin’s grandma, to see this. Not only the touching images, quotes, and tributes, but the charitable service you gave to do this for Natalie and Richie. Thank you so very much. It’s beautiful…

Thank you so much for that! I sat and watched it with tears streaming down my cheeks. Thank you for doing this for my friend! I am going to her house right this very minute to hug her neck.
