My condolences. I know Marwyn meant a lot to Coloma.

I’m sorry. Please convey my sympathy to Coloma. I developed quite a fondness for Marwyn, second-hand, and hope he finds a soft, downy cloud to rest on in goose heaven.

Thank you for letting us know, @Dutchess_III.

Also please tell her I miss her.

Oh God! I’m so sorry for him and Coloma. He was a gorgeous goose. May he continue to be gorgeous on the other side…

I just hope she is weathering the loss as well as possible. She was very attached to the critter.

I’m sorry to hear that. Farrell Marwyn.

<< Hugs Coloma.

I wonder how old Marwyn was in human years; 23 seems quite an age for a goose.
(Not nearly as much as one would want, being ones pet…)

I miss having Coloma around. I never saw an explanation for why she got kicked off the site. I hope she is doing well.

KNOWITALL's avatar

So sad. RIP.

It would be good to extend an olive branch to a few that got kicked for whatever reason. I don’t know why they did either except there was a great purge around that time and a mass exodus.

janbb's avatar

@Blackwater_Park That’s actually not true. People who get banned get banned for very specific reasons. Sometimes people choose to leave but that is a different thing. But this isn’t the place to discuss it.

@Coloma loved Marwyn so much, and Marwyn loved her in return.

gorillapaws's avatar

That’s heartbreaking news. I know how much she loved Marwyn.

Dutchess_III's avatar

@rebbel, he was literally 23 years old.

I’ll pass this on guys. She will appreciate it.

smudges's avatar

Awwww…so sorry Coloma. RIP Marwyn.

@Dutchess_III I wondered if that was you with the goose (or swan?) picture; now I understand.

Dutchess_III's avatar

That’s actually Marwyn. I stole it from Coloma.

smudges's avatar

@Dutchess_III Wow! @Mimishu1995 was right – he’s gorgeous! A perfect-looking goose!

I’m sorry to hear this. Marwyn and Coloma were two feisty personalities. Thanks for letting us know. I hope Coloma is doing well. Fluther isn’t quite the same without her and Marwyn.

Dutchess_III's avatar

So glad Marwyn qualified for Meta! I thought about it then decided against it.

snowberry's avatar

Aw, that must have broken your heart Coloma. I’m so sorry. I wish you could come back. I miss you.

snowberry's avatar

@Dutchess_III Coloma should be able to read this question and all the answers even as an outsider. Please forward this question to her so she can.

Nomore_lockout's avatar

I do too Coloma, glad we got reaquainted on F.B.

KRD's avatar

I’m sorry for the loss.

jca2's avatar

@snowberry: She’s blocked from here and can’t even access the site.

Jons_Blond's avatar

Sorry to hear about Marwyn.

Mimishu1995's avatar

@jca2 how about taking a screenshot of this thread for her?

Dutchess_III's avatar

She’s seen it.

Jeruba's avatar

@jca2, I thought anyone could see the site without signing in. They just don’t have an account, can’t post or get messages, etc. Isn’t this true?

Dutchess_III's avatar

That’s true. And she was glad to see all you guys.

jca2's avatar

She told me years ago she was blocked from accessing it. When she clicked on it, she couldn’t see it at all. Maybe she’s unblocked now or maybe she moved or something.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Or using a different URL.

Blackwater_Park's avatar

Just takes a different IP address to see this place.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Ok. IP address.
