Send flowers for Lillie Oretha (Coats) Tryon

My heart goes out to the Coats/Tryon family! My heart is heavy that I cannot be there today to love on you through this time physically. However, spiritually the distance does not hinder me from loving and praying for you! Evangelist Lillie loved and cared for me while I was in undergrad in Montgomery. Always loving, always caring, and always encouraging! I will never forget her! Love you Lady Lil!

Prayers of comfort to the Tryon family. Lillie always had a smile and was always a blessing to see her. My last memory is at the baseball field supporting her ladies. Take your rest Lillie🙏🏾

Lillie was like a baby sister to me help me to keep a calm head. You always get my back. She share my mother's name and her daughter will always be a wonderful part of my life. Much love to her and fair and grandchildren's.

Evangelist Tryon was a beautiful fire for God and her family. I'm profoundly hurt that she is gone but now she is with The King of Glory. My deepest condolences to the family. New Life Annex 5 loved our Evangelist.

I can not Imagine the pain and heartache you're feeling. I am praying for your peace and comfort. From Steve Mcelderry. Younger years of neighbors we use to be as children and fun memories I will never forget Lillie. RIP

Steve Mcelderry

My deepest condolences to the Farran and Coats family. May God's comfort surround you during this difficult time, and may the memories you shared bring you peace in the days ahead. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I will always be grateful to Lillie for giving a 25‑year‑old unpolished country boy an opportunity at DHR. Because she believed in me, I was able to grow into the man I am today—a husband, married on the same day as her parents, a father of two, and a successful professional. It all started with her having faith in me. Her impact on my life will never be forgotten.

Larry Patterson

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
