WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME

When tomorrow starts without me

And I’m not here to see

If the sun should rise and find your eyes

All filled with tears for me

I wish you wouldn’t cry

The Way you did today

While thinking of the many things

We did not get to say

I know how much you love me

As much as I love you

Each time that you think of me

I know you will miss me too

When tomorrow starts with out me

Please try to understand

That an angel came and called my name

And took me by the hand

The angel said my place was ready

In heaven far above

And That I would have to leave behind

All those I Dearly Love

But When I walked through Heaven’s Gates

I felt so much at home

When GOD looked down and smiled at me

From his golden throne

He said This Is Eternity

And All I promised you

Today for life on earth is done

But Here it starts a new

I promise no tomorrow

For today will always last

And Since each day’s the exact same way

There is no longing for the past

So When Tomorrow starts without me

Do not think we’re apart

For every time you think of me

Remember I’m right here in your heart

Reflections Of Life

On late Saturday night, February 17, 2018, Mother Olivia Wolfe Carter departed this life at Baptist Reynolds

Hospice House in Collierville, Tn. to be with the Lord. Olivia Wolfe Carter was born August 4, 1938 to the late

Aaron Wolfe Jr. and the late Lillie B. Richardson.

She was united in the Holy Matrimony to William Roosevelt Carter on December 31,1957 and from this union

seven children were born even though her husband William passed away December 31, 1980, she continued to

work very hard to raise her children. Two children preceded her in death Gwendolyn Carter Williams and

Stephony Carter Beard and one granddaughter Tiera Delois Carter.

She accepted Christ at an early age and joined Evertte Chapel Church. Upon marriage she joined Pleasant Hill

and then later joined Mt. Salem where she was faithful member until death. Throughout her life she served her

church faithfully as a choir president and Mother Board. She was very active and loyal to her church family. She

was dedicated to God, her church, and her family. She truly loved singing songs like “Eternal Life”, “Serving the

Lord Will Payoff” and I Know the Lord Will Make Away”. She worked hard her entire life. She loved working and

retired from Sequentia in 2004 after 29

years of perfect attendance. Her hobbies included sewing, collecting cookbooks, cooking, coloring, ordering from

catalogs, watching westerns, gameshows, “Young and the Restless”. She was well known for her great hospitality

and her “beautiful attire.”
