The Lord Is My Light And My Salvation

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against

me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the

days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his

pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine

enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD. Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me and answer me. When thou saidst, seek ye my face; my heart said

unto thee, thy face, LORD, will I seek. Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses

are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he

shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.Psalm 27 KJV

Sunrise ~ Alice (Alyce) Williams was born April 11, 1932 to Johnny Gray Williams and Nolia James in Lakeland Florida. She later moved to Fort Myers, Florida where she attended grade school in Lee County and graduated from Dunbar High School.

Alyce was baptized at an early age and later accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. She joined the fellowship of First Assembly of God in Lehigh, Florida where she participated in missions, Sunday School, and welcoming of new members. Alyce’s love for the Lord enabled her to pursue continuous learning regarding theology, faith, the Bible, and God’s Word. Her greatest joy was sharing the gospel with others. She enjoyed a lively discussion about Jesus as Lord and Savior and was extremely knowledgeable about the Word.

Alyce’s career path took her to Rochester, New York where she worked as a cashier and bookkeeper for Wegman Stores. She later moved back to Fort Myers as she desired to be closer to her family when her son went into the military. Alyce took a job with Winn Dixie Stores as a cashier and bookkeeper and retired from the company. Her extensive financial background and customer service experience enabled her to obtain a position with the Walmart Company where she worked as a cashier and customer service representative. Alyce’s job later transferred her to Jacksonville, Florida where she worked until her retirement from Walmart. She also became a member of the Bethel Baptist Institutional Church, Bishop Rudolph McKissick, Jr., Lead Pastor. Alyce later moved her membership to the West Jacksonville Church of God in Christ, Bishop Gary Hall, Pastor, due to health problems; this church was closest to her home.

Sunset ~ Alyce departed this life November 3, 2019. She was preceded in death by her only child, Retired Master Sargent Ronald Richardson; father and mother; brothers, Henry Brown and Joseph Williams; sister, Johnnie Mae Brown. Her beautiful life and legacy will be forever cherished by her grandchildren, Ronna, Aaron, and Roneill Richardson; daughter-in-law, Sharon Richardson of Jacksonville Florida; brothers, Rev. John Williams (Jackie) of Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Arto Brown (Frances); sisters, Mamie Williams, Frieda Lias, and Rosalyn Brown of Ft. Myers, Florida; a host of devoted nephews, nieces, cousins and friends.

THE LIFE OFMs. Alyce Williams

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more

sea...and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Revelation 21:1, 4 (KJV)
