When tomon-ow starts without me, and I'm not there to see,
Ifthe sun should rise andfindyour eyes, allfilled with tearsfor me. I wish so muchyou wouldn't cry, the wqyy ou did todqy,
While thinking ofthe ma'!Y things we nevergot to sqy.
I know how mm:hyou love me, as much as I loveyou.
And em:h time thatyou think ofme, I knowyor/11 miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand an
angel came and t:alled nry name and took me i?J the hand,
And when I thought ofall those world!J thingJ,
I might miss t:ome tomorrow,
I thought ofyou, and when I did, my heart wasfilled with sorrow.
But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from his great & golden throne,
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we'refar apart,
for every timeyou think ofme, I'll be right there - inyour Heart.

Flora Goar Carswell was hom on October 13, 1930 to the proud parents of the late Mr. William "Bill" Goar and the late Mrs. Queen E. Goar, in Adanta, GA.

On the morning of November 11, 2014, Flora took the hand of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and departed from this earth. She is now with the Lord and reuniting with her parents, 4 siblings, and her daughter Queen who preceded her in death.
