 We are sad to inform everyone of this site that we have suffered a loss of one of our own.
Marie Poyner has passed away. She was born on January 25th, 1963 and Passed away Sunday, September 10th, 2006. She will be met at the gates by loving family members that preceded her. She leaves behind a loving family with one sister I met named Colleen also including Dragon, Baby, Huff and Miss Kitty.I feel I should post this sad news to everyone because I feel I was her best friend. She always told me I would have to take care of her family if something happened to her, I always assured her that noting was going to happen to her. I really wish nothing bad would happen to her. I have missed Marie around here for the past few weeks since Dragon went into the hospital. Marie was feeling a bit under the weather and sadly I never got to talk to her since. She was a great addition to this site, a great friend and a very knowledgeable person. I will miss her terribly.
Can't Loose You
Time has flown by so fast,
With so many laughs and memories to keep in mind.
Looking up to you for answers,
When I felt so small.
A friend, hand in hand,
Who knew what to do all the time.
No words can express my gratitude,
The happiness knowing you was forever there.
A beautiful individual inside and out,
One in a million, no one could match you ever.
You didn't judge me, thankful
You took the chance to see inside the real me.
When I had enough,
I could count on you.
Mind declining, you gave me a helping hand,
To make me a better person who was stronger.
I'm holding on to all this,
I don't want to let you go.
Shining like a diamond,
Crystal clear, a pure soul.
A bright smile so valuable,
Nothing would ever be dull.
It's going to be hard I know,
But I can't forget you.
Moment has come to bid farewell,
Thread still attached, I won't lose you.
Making the most of these times,
It won't be the same without you here.
Love and friendship will continue to develop,
Distant, but it will change some time.
Friend, final words now to be said,
I can't tell you thankyou, it's not enough.
You're going, leaving me behind,
But I know you'll be happy, thatâ??s all I want.
Gaining all my strength,
I still can't say goodbye.
Nothing valuable is easy to lose,
One goes out, one comes in.
No one will ever replace you.
This poem was written by this young lady www.poems-and-quotes.com/author.html?id=162927It would have been a year ago next month that I met Marie for the first time and we had our crazy cross country trip. I was supposed to go down there this weekend to see all those guys. I guess I should have bumped it up a weekend. I will greatly miss her and there will always be a space in my heart for her. I will always miss you Marie. |

My heart aches, she touched me through emails and this site, I never saw her, never heard her voice, but she helped, she took time to help everyone. I will never forget her, The Catalog Baby, and the story of how she got her babies, I loved her, please can you post all of her stories... Let it be is playing right now, that was the first song I heard when my Mother died, and know its playing again....

I will miss her dearly and all that knew her were truly blessed. I met Marie about a year ago when she and Patrick and Denise came to my home and spent a couple of days with us. She was a wonderful person and I will miss her dearly.
Good bye my dear friend Marie, may you meet up with Fran and watch over all of the green babies that we have lost and miss as well.
I can say that everyone on this site as well as other sites were lucky to have known her and I know that Marie touched allot of people with her knowledge of the iguanas.
Marie rest in peace and cross proudly over the rainbow bridge.

Steph came to me last night and alerted me of Marie's passing. At first - I dont know what to do or say.. I was hoping that Steph was playing some sort of evil joke on me I wish that were the case. It is not.
I will miss Marie. Marie and I had never met one another in real life but we frequently spoke with one another not just through various online forums but over instant messenger as well. We had many many good discussions and joked with eachother almost every day - we enjoyed tormenting eachother with yahoo audibles almost every night.. She will be greatly missed by many people throughout the world.. She is a great person with an awesome personality and with a pure heart. Her dedication to helping herps has quite possibly contributed to saving and improving the lives of countless lizards dependant on us to take care of them. She helped eachother with the pureest of intentions at heart and mind. She loved her Igs and Ms. Kitty and I'm sure they will miss Marie as much as any person could possibly miss them. My thoughts and prayers are with Marie and her family.. God bless you Marie.

Truly, a sad day for friends, Marie will be missed. She was a kind spirit and enjoyed the company of the animal kingdom.
Marie will be welcomed into heaven and will find a great love waiting for her.
God Bless you, Marie Poyner.

I don't have a lot of words that will seem right about this.
Marie was the one who always bugged me to get on the board and post pictures and things and to make sure to try to be around on chat nights.
She was the one to always say hi on messenger before I got the chance to hit the button.
Even when i was new to this boards family, Marie went out of her way to make me feel welcome, making sure to introduce me to others in the forum.
I don't know Marie as well as some of you but I will miss her ranting at me to participate more and I miss her energetic conversations.
If there is a God, may he look at you Marie in a special light as we all do here.
Take care forever........

Words cannot express how sad this truly is......Marie was always so kind when I first contacted Patricks Iguana it was Marie who emailed me and was so kind......she had an absolute love for all animals and especially her babies...and was devoted to everyone who joined this room always making everyone feel welcome. She will be truly missed....but heaven is brighter for her smile. I will be putting a post on my site in the memoriam page. BUT WE WILL NEVER FORGET HER HERE AT WILD4REPTILZ LOVE EM if www.geocities.com/wild4reptilz/index.html |
