I'm so very sorry for your loss. I know how much each of you meant to Alice and I know the love was mutual. She did so love her 'Bad Bunch'. She was always an inspiration to me and we certainly shared some fun times together. What a fine example she was of a true Christian. I'll continue to pray for you and may God give you the strength you need to get you through your grief.

Alice was the epitome of a true Southern Christian lady who was sold out to sharing God's love in her daily life as she perceptively saw needs and found ways to help meet them; if they didn't exist, she organized a way to help meet the need at that time. She enjoyed her family, home, having church fellowship activities there, making you feel loved and welcome. Serving God and showing His love to others were a top priority ! Thank you for the role model !

To the King family:
We met Alice through our work on the board of the Food Bank of North Central Arkansas. She was a fount of knowledge for those of us who entered the scene in the later years. Alice always had a smile but also a sharp mind to keep us on task and certainly to help us look at all sides of a matter. What a memorable lady who is now peacefully at home with her Lord.

Dear Paul, Sheila Ann, Anita and all the family, I am so saddened to hear of the loss of Alice Mae. She gave so very much of herself to the work of the church and to those in need in Mountain Home, Baxter County and beyond. I will always remember her kindness and generous spirit, especially when we were all young. Such precious memories! With prayers and love, Sheila Jo.

Alice's love and service to our Lord Jesus Christ was evident in her life. She was the matriarch of a family who serves Him. I know the women of the King family, each one has a beautiful heart. Her son's had a fine example of what to look for in a woman. Alice, you now have the best seat in the house...
To each family member, my love and prayers for you, as I know you will miss Alice very much. May God's love overcome all of your sadness.

We count it a blessing to have know Alice. What a true southern lady with grace, warmth and hospitality that only comes from her relationship with her Lord and Savior. May she rest in peace in the arms of Jesus and be part of the greeting committee when we arrive in heaven.

Words can't express how sorry I am for your loss. How thankful we are to have God's promise of a resurrection at John 5:28,29. Knowing that we will see Mrs King again can help to dry some of our tears.

To the family of Alice. I am so sorry for your loss. I considered Alice a wonderful friend. She always had a smile and time for a chat even when events in her life were difficult. She had a great sense of humor which I always enjoyed. I know she will be terribly missed by all of you. But you can be proud she was your mother, grandmother and sister and know you have wonderful memories.

Paul, Sheila, Anita and family, I was so sorry to hear of the death of Miss Alice. I have so many great memories of her from my childhood. A true example of what a Christian lady should be, Guy certainly did find someone more precious than rubies when he found Miss Alice. Cherish all of your memories and remember " She has received her reward, and is now with our Savior. Praying for all of her loved ones, and remembering her fondly. Sincerely Donella DePriest Dulworth
