“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, filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too When tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.

Horace Saulsberry

Reflections of Life

Horace Saulsberry was a dedicated, family-orientated man, known as a diehard Dallas Cowboys Fan, New York Knicks fan, and a CNN Super Fan. He was the sixth child born to the late Theodore and Emma Mae Saulsberry on May 11, 1961. He was proceeded in death by his loving parents, his brother Arthur Avant, and his granddaughter Da’Neisha Saulsberry.

Horace accepted Christ at an early age and believed in Jesus Christ wholeheartedly. He was raised and grew up in the Lemoyne Owen Gardens Housing Projects in South Memphis, TN.

Horace graduated from Wooddale High School and later obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Lemoyne Owen College. He was a former employee of McKesson and ABM.

Horace adored his family, especially his loving daughters and grandchildren. Horace can be remembered for his contagious smile. He loved to entertain friends and family at his house for holiday gatherings and his annual Super Bowl parties. He was considered an avid CNN World News Super Fan; because he watched CNN world news daily. In his later years, he would call whoever was willing to listen to him as he reported the news happening in the world, ready to debate his personal views.

He leaves to cherish his memories: three daughters; Crystal Saulsberry, Jennifer Townsend, and Horesha Saulsberry, five grandchildren; Dylan Saulsberry, Dallas Saulsberry, MaKenzi and MaKayla Saulsberry and Riley Jones, two brothers; Calvin Saulsberry (Loretta), William Saulsberry, two sisters; Toni Williams (Rodney), Emma Jean Shorty; and a bonus brother Lorenzo Times, and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends.
