Cliff Williams / The Herald The Satterfield family visits with Santa Saturday morning. The family grew from four to eight overnight in May after the untimely death of a family member.

In the spring, Cassie Satterfield was happy with a small family of four. It was her, her husband Jesse and their two children.

Tragedy struck when her sister-like cousin Sara Knox died unexpectedly May 7, leaving behind four children. Cassie didn’t want the children to be separated, so she and her husband sprung into action.
