Soon we would find out that she was born with a broken heart. God would take her hand and a miracle took place. The world's greatest heart doctor with hands blessed by God repaired Justice's little heart. Every one that she met along the way was amazed at the strength, joy and courage of our tiny opera singer. Music was the center of Justice's life from the start. Anyone who saw our little redhead smile had no choice but to smile as well. If ever God placed a child on this earth to light up people's lives, Justice was that child. We have always called her our firecracker; beautiful, amazing to watch, and explosive. Justice lived her life as we all should, as if noting could ever stop her. Love and kindness was her every moment. She loved her sister more than anyone. On Justice's last day she smiled and her courage was for her Mother and I. God took away all her pain, her illness, and! all of the worldly things she suffered from. She runs in the grace of God playing, dancing and never will she get tired again. Our Father in Heaven holds her in his arms as we did on earth. Justice smiles down on us from Heaven. Our flower planted in heaven to make it beautiful. We miss you and will join you in Heaven in due time. She is survived by her parents Jeremy and Chrissy, three brothers, Cameron, Darren and Hayden Norwood and one sister, Liberty, ""Libby"" Norwood all of Las Cruces.
