A Journey Completed

Today Josh's grandmother, Audrey Satterfield, has completed her journey here on earth and has gone to be with our Father. Meemaw, as everyone called her, was a huge part of Josh's upbringing and helped make him the person he is today. Josh says that she and Josh's grandfather had one of the biggest impacts on developing his faith growing up. She was your typical southern grandmother who cooked a huge southern feast every Sunday after church and made Josh the big eater he is today! She was sweet, kind, and cared deeply about her family. She always knew what was going on with every person in their big family, including me! I was always shocked that even when she was very ill, she remembered so many details about my life and thought to ask me about them. Even though she was not my grandmother, I felt like I was very lucky and blessed to be able to have known her for the little time I did. Josh, his sister, niece, and I are going to leave tomorrow morning at 3 a.m. to drive out to Atlanta. Please keep us in your prayers tomorrow as we drive and his family in your prayers as they deal with such a huge loss.

I know what a wonderful lady she was. She was my grandmother's best friend. I remember her and my grandmother and the Christ-like servant hearts that they had. I hope that you all have a safe journey over to Atlanta and know that we will be praying for you all.
