The Jones Family extends condolences to you and your family. Thank you for all the support, lessons and love shown to us. May God continue to bless you during this difficult time. Love, Jonathan, Sandra and Clifton.
Alice I regret that I cannot be with you today but my spirit of love and compassion is. I emphasize with what you are going through. I've been in the same seat you are sitting in now. I was there when you two got married. My prayer is that through all that you're been through, continue to trust in God. I know you will my Sister. ❣️ you.
Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted…”
To my dear sister friend Alice and the Royal family, Rev. Faison & I extend our prayers and our deepest and sincerest condolences. Rev Antonio’s legacy of kindness, love, true worship, and dedication to our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ will be remembered. As i write this now, I am thinking about the times we witnessed in worship when Rev Antonio would become so overwhelmed by GODs Presence that tears would fall from his eyes. He would embrace himself, and then lift his hands. He was a gentle giant full of power, discernment and love for GOD, you and your family. Thank you both for your ministry and your cherished friendship for many, many years. Rev. Antonio truly lived as a ROYAL priesthood.
In Christian Love,
Minister Natasha & Rev. Dr. Frederick Faison.

My sincere condolences to the royal family.
It was several years ago when I became acquainted Elder Royal.It was at that time when Dr. Alice was the musician for my wife, the late Evelyn Dixon. A friendship bond was created over maybe 15 or 20 years ago.I remember the many Myrtle Beach trips where we would fellowship , shop, and explore the different cuisines and entertainment that Myrtle Beach had to offer .
Elder Royal had a very kind , meek ,godly, and gentle spirit. He exemplified all of the Fruits of the Spirit.He
loved his family and if you needed him he would do all he could to be there for you.
To be absent from this body is to be present with the lord.He is in heaven and he is rejoicing and not wanting to return to this world.To God Be the Glory.
Jesus said “I am the resurrection and the life,
Those who believe in me,
Even though they die,will live,
And everyone who lives and believes in me
will never die
JOHN 11:25,26
