When I'm gone, release me, let me go, I have so many things to see and do; you
must not tie yourself to me with tears, be happy that we had so many years; I gave you my loveyou can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it is time I travel on alone; So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must; Then let your grief be comforted by trust; It is only for a while that we must part, So bless those memories within your heart. I will not be far away, for life goes on, So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you cannot see me or touch me- I'll be near. And if you listen with your heart- you will hear All of my love around you, soft and clear; Then when you must come this way alone, I will greet you with a smile and "Welcome you Home"

Mrs. Minnie Lee Carter was born in Dekalb County on June 26, 1935 to the late Annie Mae Curney and the late Epp Arnold. God called her home on December 27, 2004.
She joined Big Miller Grove Baptist Church at an early age. Minnie attended Dekalb County School System. She united in holy matrimony to Zack Carter in 1951.
She is survived by a devoted husband, Mr. Zack Carter, Sr.; two daughters, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Moon (Shirley), Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Stodghill (Joyce); three sons, Zack Carter, Jr. , Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Carter (Phyllis) and Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Carter (Vita); eighteen grandchildren; seventeen great-grandchildren; six sisters, Mae Frances Robinson, Liz, Gene, Margaret, Mary and Denise; three brothers, John Henry Arnold, Epp Arnold, Jr. and Calvin Arnold; sister-inlaw, Hazel Birdsong; five brothers-in-law; one aunt, Martha McCree; and a host of other relatives and friends.
T o every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens,
A time to be born, and a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up.
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend and a time to sew, a time to keep silence, and a time to speak,
A time to love, and a time to hate, a time ofwar, and a time ofpeace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God has laid for me. I took His hand when
I heard Him call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not
stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play . Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that peace at close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Oh yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wanted me now, HE SET ME FREE!
Minnie, We Love You
