Carol - messages of support

Please circulate the Missing poster that Lara has put on the other thread.

I've done the same Lona

This is awful news. Strangely enough I woke up thinking about her this morning for no particular reason other than that I was sorry she had left gransnet. I hope and pray she is found safe and sound.

I met Fiona in March when I had lunch with Carol in Nelson, NZ. She is a lovely kind person with a great husband & family. So awful what they are going through so far away. They are very grateful for all the practical help & support. The absolute best aspects of GN & Gransnetters iis showing itself now.

A newbie here who is hoping Greatnan is found safe and well very soon.
Thinking of you all. x

Mass will be said in my Parish this evening for the welfare and safety of Carol. Those of you with a religious belief please join your prayers to ours.

Let us hope the combined positive thinking of all of us atheists and the prayers of all believers will combine and she will be found soon.

I read that she was leaving Gransnet and had said she had never been happier in her life. I don't know why but I assumed that her DDwho she was estranged from had made contact.
Although she fell out with Granjura has anyone made contact with her as she may well know of places that they had explored and wished to return? Granjura lives in Lausanne . I am in Geneva at the moment and trying to post this on my Anglo info website but it is not recognizing my password. I think Granjura was on the same expat forum.

Yes, Stansgran and she has been most helpful, putting a flea in the ear of the Mairie and offering to help with the search.

That's good to hear.

I'm so shocked to hear of this.

Fingers crossed.

Just posting to keep the thread going as well as it is - I just can't find anything else to say that hasn't been said already - like many of you I'm sure I find myself just coming up with various explanations that all have a happy ending

I did manage to distance myself from the computer, out to lunch (substantial!) with a good friend who was more than willing to listen to my concerns. It was a relief to talk to someone who isn't on Gransnet, though this is so valuable.

I've only just come in and thought the thread title was a light hearted plea for greatnan to return to gransnet.

What worrying news. Three days is a long time and her poor family must be beside themselves.

Hoping for good news that greatnan is safe. XX

I'm speechless. Poor Greatnan. Such a worry for her family. Prayers being offered for her safe return. x

It's wonderful the way everyone is pulling out all the stops. Just when we think we have covered all possible bases, someone comes up with a new idea. Even the tiniest straw has to be grasped. And apologies for mixing my metaphors - can't get my head together today.

I've started a thread on Mumsnet. If anyone is a member please keep it busy and post there. It's under CHAT. Or join up as I've just done and post.

I have posted on MN mice

I've bumped it too, they are being very supportive on Mnet.

There are two threads running over there so I have bumped both.

I had noticed that Greatnan hadn't posted for a while but assumed that she was off visiting friends or relatives.

I do hope she is found soon - it must be terrible for her family.

Its going to really hard to keep it in active, the smaller thread has already dropped off the page. So can you all keep bumping.

I have to go offline now so sorry cant keep bumping the thread on MN, can anyone keep it going, got to take the DGS for his swimming lesson.

I've just been over there. Will keep going back when I can, too.

I have been sharing on FB since her grandson-in-law messaged me yesterday. Very worried but do wonder whether she is taking refuge from bad weather.She did mention to me a few days ago that the snow was quite heavy. She may be somewhere where is no signal for phone.

There is a poster to share on Facebook with a picture of her. Please share or ask other FB members to share it if you are not a member yourself.

I agree that if she is found she will be dining out on story for years and probably slapping our wrists for making 'such a fuss' (not that we are)
