I want to share some fond memories I have of Anne Coyle. I worked with her at two companies and we became great friends. I have a few funny stories to share.
Once a doctor who was quite perturbed that someone was not responding to him promptly, left Anne a voicemail message, and with a very thick middle Eastern accent, stated: You PEOPLE!! You are NEVER there, You are NEVER at your desk, God D**** IT!!! Anne saved the message and would play it on speaker phone for all of us on a late Friday afternoon and we would all break out in uproarious laughter.
Another time , I think we were leaving a meeting in the office, she pushed me in a chair on wheels, we were scurrying down the hallway like two prankster schoolgirls and, if I do recall correctly, we were reprimanded by management.
Another time, there was a young woman clerk, she was very short, she was having trouble reaching a file on the top of a cabinet. So Anne said, can I give you a hand? And she proceeded to clasp her hands out as if to allow her to step into them to boost her up to get the file instead of Anne getting the file for her herself.. She laughed and laughed. Of course in the end she got the file for the girl.
She once told me that she didnt think life was that hard. That really shocked me because this was after she had experienced the devastation and grief of Brendan's death. I myself always have felt life is hard and had not been through some of the terrible things she had been through. It was amazing to me that she could still say that life was not hard.
I remember after she went to Ireland, she brought back lavish gifts for everyone on her team at work. She was very generous.
Finally, my favorite. After she quit and I remained behind at the first job, she photocopied and faxed her face over to me and I tacked it up in my cubicle. People would come by and say , Oh my God, I can't believe you have Anne Coyles face tacked up in your cube! And she told me that when she bent over to photocopy her face, she was horrified because she noticed all this skin under her chin dangling. (and we were only in our 30s then!)
She once told me that there was nothing she loved to do more in life than laugh. And, God knows, she laughed a lot and she made so many other people laugh. All the time. And I feel she is continuing to laugh and make others laugh where she is now. I will NEVER EVER forget her.

I just heard yesterday of Anne's passing. I worked with Anne for a number of years....and she was one of the best, most honest and hard working individuals I have ever been around. I was so sad to hear about Anne and wish to pass my condolences to Anne's family. Anne was just a wonderful human being. I will miss her. Glenn

"Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
That, we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?

I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner.

All is well."

With deep admiration and respect upon the passing of my cousin who throughout her illness kept a comprehensive view of her condition and at one time believed there was a possibility that the cancer had been arrested although she did give the caveat that there was a bit left which as we now know was fatal, much love goes with you from your family as all have spoken well of you deepest condolences from me and my daughter Amanda
