Stephanie Coulson, 4 February 1989 - 18 July 2008
A wonderful daughter, sister and friend. I met Stephanie when I was six months old. 18 years later and we're still best friends. She could always make me smile - she was brilliant at that. I admired her strength and determination. Despite her cystic fibrosis which ultimately killed her, Stephanie always made the best of things. She loved creating things and anything arty. I remember the Peep Sheeep she'd draw. It's hard to know what to say but I know that Stephanie meant a lot to many people and she'll be in our hearts forever.
Rest in peace my dear friend Stephanie xxxxxx
Happy Birthday Stephanie
Dear Stephanie,
I tried to light a candle on here for you but it wouldn't work so I'll write you a tribute instead.
Happy birthday sweetheart. I'm not really sure what else to say but I love you lots. I'm thinking of you and your family so much today.
Rest in peace beautiful xxxx
It's 2 months now since we lost you Stephanie. It's not the same without you here but I still remember your lovely smile. I'll never forget that. I've been making a scrapbook of all my photos of you - to remember all the good times we had. I couldn't have asked for a better friend. Do you remember those random msn conversations we had? Where when we couldn't think what to say, we'd just make up stories with pictures. And surprise surprise they'd involve sheep! I've got your sheep now. I'm taking good care of him for you. I hope things are good for you wherever you are now. See you again one day. Love Laura xxx
A Gentle Guest, A willing Host, Affection Deeply Planted,
It's strange in life we miss the most our those we take for granted.
Stephanie was a kind hearted good natured person who will be sadly missed. Each and every person should be privileged to of met Stephanie and to of been part of her life. She was a wonderful person and respected by everyone. I can't even describe to anyone how much of a difference she made to our lives. May her thoughts live with us and continue our lives with her watching over us. She was taken away form us suddenly but will never be away from us. May you rest in peace, you're with the angels now. God bless xxx

Firstly I would like to say how privileged I am to have known such a wonderful and talented young woman, Stephanie. She touched the lives of all who she met, loved and knew in her life. I remember her as a student who was always smiling, even through the most painful of days. Stephanie and I would often sit and have a good old chat and put this strange world of ours to rights! Her work was inspiring, imaginative and so creative. I went to see her Foundation work in her final exhibition at Writtle college and I was so impressed with the maturity and quality of her art, she would have made an excellent designer. The image I have of her in my mind is one of her big smile and that wonderful laugh. Night Night Steph x
some people come into our lives and quickly go
some people move our souls to dance
some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon
they stay in our lives for a while
leave footprints on our hearts
and we are never ever the same again
you are some people.
stephanie, you were such a lovely person, talented and brave with courage that inspired many people. You never let things stop you seeing anything as possible. I remeber our days of trampolinig club together and the endless exams with our extended times that felt like they'd never end.
you were such a beautiful person and i will always remeber your bravery and strength. my thoughts are with you and your family. rest in peace steph and let your love and artistic nature shine on. x x x xx x x x x x x x x x x x
I first met Stephanie in primary school although we never really spoke much then. We then met again in high school, I was in a different tutor group but we became good friends. I was there for 2 years before I had to move again but I tried hard to stay in contact (difficult when you're always moving around). I finally found her on facebook a few months ago and I just wish we'd had the chance to see each other again. She was such a lovely person to be around with and her strength and perseverence made me respect her a great deal. She was so brave. My thoughts go out to her family and her close friends. R.I.P Steph!
I first met Stephanie in 2000, she was in my tutor at school, the first thing i noticed was her ability to draw or make anything...Peep Sheep was one of them, she used to do little doodles everywhere but they were so good....i remember her helping me with my art GCSE as i just couldnt get something right! She was a lovely person...truley genuine and kind. My thoughts are with her family and close friends. Rest in peace Stephanie...You were always so brave!
My Friend Stephanie
I have known Stephanie for over nine years since she joined 3rd Writtle Guides. She stayed to help as a Young Leader and then Leader. Stephanie was always fun to be with and I can still hear her deep laugh. She loved joining in as much as she could and has camped with us several times. She was due to come to Essex Jamboree with us next week.
How lucky I have been to know such a brave and beautiful young lady. I have watched her grow up and gain confidence, I always relied on her to help me with the crafts at Guides- she was immensely talented.
It was a privledge to know Stephanie. She was loyal, committed and a true Guide in every sense. I am so glad she came to join us all those years ago. She will never be forgotten and we will hold her in our thoughts next week at the Jamboree knowing that Stephanie would have loved to be there. She will be there in our hearts.
God Bless Stephanie
She is Gone
You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she's gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
I am so grateful that I've known Stephanie for so long and saw her blossom into a beautiful, kind, fun and caring young lady. Thank you, Stephanie, for introducing me to your mum who is another wonderful person like yourself. Your family have always been very proud of all your achievements and you richly deserved your college award. I will support your family the best I can and believe you will be watching over them from your resting place, where you are reunited and being cared for by Grandma and Grandpa.
Rest in peace, sweetheart.
