I would wish to say a few words about a friend of mine who has departed. Many years ago I made friends with a great man, a good Roman Catholic, proud Irishman and father named John Coyne. and his loving wife Lorraine. Both John and Lorraine were blessed with three very special daughters, Emma, Katie and the middle one, Marie Coyne. I have known Marie since she was about seven years old and we all went to the seaside together once. I gave her and her sister Katie an Easter Egg each from the day. Marie grew into a gentle soul with varied interests. Once mad on Sonic The Hedgehog then the brit pop band Oasis, Marie was brilliant at most things computing and artistic. She knew Adobe Photoshop long before I mastered it myself and was a true inspiration to me. Since moving away we had lost touch, but my friend Eddie informed me she had past away the other week. I don't know why, he did not say, but I was very sad to hear that news. Marie made my first ever web site all those years ago and she was as wonderful a person to ever know. On her Instagram page the last entery shows her in a picture with her boyfriend and soul mate Jezz Spear.
The caption with the picture reads 'I am so happy.'
There was something so very lovely about Marie and it was impossible not to like her. I count myself blessed to have known her in life.
Goodbye my friend, so sorry to see you go x
Marie Anne Coyne was thirty six.
