Saying Goodbye.

Hi Everyone,

After close to 2,000 post and being a member here for a couple years, I felt the need to tell everyone my good-bye's.

Thank you Ron for providing this really valuable forum which has been instrumental in saving and rescuing sheepies all over North America and some like my Panda boy all the way from Asia. You have my heart felt thanks.

Signing off
Marianne

(((HUGS MARIANNE))) I think I missed something, because I'm not sure why you're leaving. You will surely be missed.
Is this for real?

Marianne, Please don't go. You have meant a lot to Barney and Maggie in thier development. I will miss your friendship. Is there something a pm might address? Whatever your final decision is, God bless you. But please reconsider.

Unless you've decided to become a missionary in the far reaches of Africa and will not have access to a computer I cannot imagine what would keep you from us......... Surely a more complete explanation is to follow such a stunning announcement......................... 8O Have you converted to some non computer using religion? Your presence would be terrible missed, your stories, your pictures, your sage advice.

Say it ain't so.................. 8O

We would be losing a friend, which is why it simply could not possibly be true. This is simply some grievous error or practical joke.
waaaat??? Why are you leaving?
Hope you come back to tell us why. :cry:

Gardening season is soon, we will need some advice.
Oh my gosh, I was hoping the thread title was deceiving and NOT that you were leaving. We all would understand if there are things going on in your personal life, but I'm sure a lot of us would like to know if it was something that happened here or something we can help with.

Big hug to you.

Maybe someone just hijacked your computer or you stayed logged in at some internet cafe and someone is pulling a cruel joke. At least I can hope!!!!
Does anyone have her # in Vancouver? Maybe we should call and make sure she is okay.
I call shennanigans on this. I'm awaiting the punchline...
8O MARIANNE! This isn't funny! What's going on? Are you okay??? Please come back to tell us.

Someone, please call Marianne!!!! Do you have her number! I'm crying here at my desk!

Marianne, we love you and need you! Please tell us what's going on. We'll all understand if you need to take a break or if something happened, but our friendships can't end like this.

COME BACK!!
Ron,

Do you have her number? We need to make sure that everything is okay with her.
I did PM her with no response. I have her address and will drop her a note. I cannot imagine what could have happened. I wonder if she has been offended by something. :( I actually looked back through posts to see but found nothing.
Yes, I definitely agree. We need to get in contact with her and make sure everything is ok with her. I know we are all worried about her and we all want to make sure that she is fine.
So, does anyone have her number and can anyone call her?
I am concerned too about her abrupt withdrawal, however, we need to respect her wish for privacy for whatever reason she chose to leave this forum. I wouldn't go about bombarding her with pm's or anything. JMO
^
Actually, I agree and was thinking the same thing. I'm hoping she comes back to this thread, but I definitely think if she wanted to share ...she will in her own time.
I also agree. But hopefully she will read this thread and see that we cannot lose her. She is a very important part of this forum.
We all adore her and cherish her advice & stories.
Please come back Marianne!
After I thought about it and read your posts, I suppose I also agree. It's just our curious and worrisome natures to want more details. Marianne said goodbye, so we should respect that. I would be even more concerned if she just dropped away and didn't say anything to us.

Marianne, if you read this, we all love you and wish you the best! We have enjoyed our time with you. May our paths cross again one day, we will open up on hearts to you! XOXOXO GOODBYE!
While I agree in theory with what you are saying I also believe that if someone is leaving because they have been hurt or feel slighted in some way that it is is important to at least try to find out what is wrong. Sometimes people are hurt by something, but don't want to have to SAY what it is that they are hurt by. They may hope that those around them will be able to figure it out. Part of them may also WANT those around them to reach out and make an effort to connect with them.

Marianne leaving may have nothing to do with any of us or anything that has happened here on the forum. Or it may have everything to do with us. As someone who cares about her I feel like I have to at least attempt to connect with her and let her know how I feel, in as unobtrusive a way as possible.

I have dropped her a note to let her know that we all care about her, miss her and hope to hear from her soon.

I also sent a note. I also apologized if I said anything that may have hurt or offended her in any way. (poem - Riveria)
I know sometimes when something is soooooo painful, you either have to get as far away as you can for a little while or dig in deeper. I told her we all miss her and hope she returns soon. But, no response as of yet.
we will all miss her :( and i hope that theres nothing wrong. maybe she will come back soon i sure hope so :cry:
I don't think she's joking because she can see how worried people are about her.
Has anyone heard from Marianne that PMed her? I hope she's okay. Seems so strange that she just dropped off :(
Not a word, :( I sent her a note snail mail with my email address in the hope she might respond. :(
I also emailed her last week w/ no responce :cry:

Im sure one day she will come here and read this and see how much she is wanted here.Til then Ill just wait :cow:
Does anyone know the city that Marianne lives in? How about a search of the local papers to see if there is any news about her?
