Carol - messages of support

Sending so much love to Carol's family and friends.

Sorry when, but all I can see is the original France 3 Alpes story with the wrong date, plus the sites that link to it. That is the only link I get on google.fr as well. I am sure you are right and there is more, but until I can find it I can't pass it to the local forums. Sorry to be a pain, but I really think the local expats might be able to help.

Just hoping and hoping......

Been up and about for hours keeping check on updates praying that we get some news to-day,we must stay positive and join together at 12noon and give positive thoughts to the powers that be and bring our friend home.(she will go mad when she hear's about all this praying for her)

French media coverage is growing rapidly. If you visit the Carol Sheridan is Missing Facebook page you will see just how much coverage there is.

I fear it may be sparse Shysal. The problem is that in France the use of the internet and social media are just not developed as they are in the UK. I think one of the family said that people don't respond to emails quickly and that is generally true in my experience. The regional paper and the regional news are the things that count here.
I don't know what the regional paper is like there, but here it covers the round of council meetings, associations and groups, but not much real news. It is frustrating.

This is social media at its best,everyone pulling together sharing their ideas and contacts.
Never give up hope, and keep doing what you are all doing.
Special thanks to those of you who are being so proactive.

I wish I was in France, where I could be sticking posters in every available space! There will be more people in the area this weekend, but will they know to look out for the car? I hope I am wrong in guessing that the French media coverage is still sparse.
Will join the mass 'positive thought' at 12 noon.

First place to visit this morning. I dreamed about Greatnan, don't suppose I shall be the only one.
It is amazing how close this loss is bringing us all together.
Stay safe Greatnan, wherever you may be.

Hi all. Can you help, please? The pms are coming thick and fast and I'm struggling to answer them all in a helpful way. If anyone has a query, could you please post it on here where a few of us might possibly be able to address it?

I don't want anyone to think they aren't being listened to, and I'm conscious that if I have to go out, the pms will be sitting there, when they might contain something significant.

Of course, if it's something factual, has an idea or suggestion about finding Greatnan, please use the IMPORTANT Greatnan Missing thread. Thanks.

Greatnan was the first in my thoughts when I woke up this morning. Hoping for some good news today

Same here kitty. Where the heck are you Greatnan?

I've got nothing to add really, just wanted to 'be' here.

So sorry to see there is n new this morning - let us hope for better things today.

Fingers crossed and thinking about her.

I am a "Lurker" but have been on Gransnet since the beginning. I dont post because there always seem to be people who have more of a way with words than I, Greatnan being one. I have read of her adventures and feel as if i know her. I have prayed all week that she would be found and have posted the missing posters on various sites that i am on. Please God find Greatnan

Morning, folks. So good to see how many of us are waiting for some news. I have had a lot of pms offering support and asking how they can help. Thank you so much, all of you who are helping to keep morale up and keep re-tweeting, Facebookng and generally spreading the word.

One pm contains this paragraph, which I thought I'd repeat here.

I have this abiding feeling that all the chatting Carol does when she meets people on her walks is going to pay dividends. Hunting groups will spread the word - she was chatting away to one group with their dogs when we went up one of several mountains during my stay. They're bound to remember her. Likewise, walkers - she always made a point of startng conversations, and could impart a lot of local, mountain information. So many people must be exclaiming 'I remember that woman!'

Not posted on this thread before because there is nothing I can do (although I did email the DM suggesting they run the story). First thing I did when I got up was log on to see if there was any news. Praying that today is the day we all hear something

let's hope that before evening we get some good news,

Sorry I didn't mean 'your' home but 'her' home. Tiredness rules today I suspect, as with everyone else xx

Morning all I have held off logging on until now, been along night with all sorts spinning around my head. Yes lots more people around so more chance of a result.

Please God let us have positive news today. Maybe today Carol will turn up at your home, tired after a week's jaunt, wondering what on earth has been going on. PLEASE

At least it's the weekend - more people out and about

Surely there will be some news today.

I guess we can still hope.
