John, Logan and Grandma Prescott
Carol Prescott-Grandma
Last Monday morning John got the call that his Mom had passed on from this life. It had been expected at some point since her health had been so poor for the past four plus years but still came as a shock. Plans had already been made to transport her back to the North Carolina house in May to spend the summer in the coolness of the mountains just like she had done for years. John was worried that the summer weekends were quickly filling up and did not know how we would find the perfect time for all five of us to go visit Grandma and Grandfather mountain. Now the plans have all changed and we will be driving down to Fort Lauderdale to attend a memorial service. The kids will get to see their Florida cousins and we will get to stay at a hotel on the beach. John had to make a quick trip to Florida this past week to make the arrangements and he had been busy writing the obituary, practicing his speech and the music that he will perform. It has been a time for him to bring out all the old photos and reminisce about the time in Grandma's life when her body still let her live a full life, enjoying her Grandson Logan. How cruel it was that her body gave out just at the time when the next four grandchildren came along.....It is a time to celebrate her life and wish her well in the next.
