Carol - messages of support

Carol being Carol I'm sure a few fireworks lit for her tonight as well as the candles will ensure she knows we are all working & hoping for her being found soon.

GAG

The lights are shining brightly.

Sorry I don't have any updates at this stage. Although I am so relieved a thorough search is finally under way, I am left feeling helpless and a little loss now that I can do little more for my Nan - I have to trust in the people involved in the search that she will be found. That is why I wanted to thank whoever came up with this idea of lighting the candles. In some small way I was able to once again feel as though I was doing something for Nan in focusing all my energy into that candle & what it symbolised.
I have read through some of the messages left by others and once again am left feeling immensely proud of the person she is and how she has managed to touch so many others. Thank you Gransnetters, for everything, hopefully I'll wake up to good news

Greatgrandaughter, If you're anything like Carol, you'll stay strong! Love, thoughts and prayers to you all x

Good to hear from you Lara/GGD. Your great nan will be so heartened by everyone's efforts to bring her home safely

Big hug Ggd Your Nan will be so proud of you

I have just lit a candle and found it such a comfort - what a wonderful idea. Strength, love, hope, prayers.

Chin up GGD. You and your family have all been so very brave and you have all us lot behind you. Take comfort in that Now the car has been traced, the candle lighting has helped us all focus on today.

GGD - if it has helped in even the smallest way, then that's wonderful.
Thank you for finding a moment to come and talk here.
I have always believed that there are "more things twixt heaven and earth ......etc" ...and that there is great power in the strength of united hope and care. So many people are united for Carol.

I wonder if it might be worth you putting the candle link onto the FB page?

I will light a candle too. I always do this in times of worry in my family. It is comforting.

GGD - thank you for the update and for your positive words. You are not alone - there are masses of us everywhere who are thinking of Carol and your family. I dip in and out of thoughts for Carol every day, and as I have some idea of the area where she lives I visualise her there, well and waiting to be found. All that positive energy, thought and love is coming your way and is there to sustain you all and Carol too. I can't remember who said "It's better to light a candle that to curse the darkness" but that's so true. There are warm lights in the hearts and minds of all who care for Carol and for you and the family.

For Carol's family - my thoughts, and the thoughts of a thousand or so women across the internet are with you and with Carol, willing on the rescuers. I hope that you recieve news today.

Thank you so much for taking time to share news of the search, and thank you also to all of you on gransnet who have done the same.

Thank you for taking the time to talk to us and if you ever feel at a loss where to turn, you are more than welcome to come and chat to any of us at any time. Your Nan is a truly inspirational woman. Hope with all me heart that you and your family have good news today. Positive thoughts are with you Lara.

Thanks to Granjura for help in keeping us informed. Hugely appreciated.

Let's hope the better weather will help them to find her.
Good wishes and positive thoughts for the family.

Lara and Heather we all know that your nan is an extraordinarily adventurous woman and loves to share her adventures online, but at her core she is all about family. Her daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren (and their partners) obviously inspire and motivate her. That's how come we feel we know you - she mentions you all frequently and so proudly. I think I can say with certainty that whatever has befallen her, her thoughts went out to her family.
Praying for you and hoping for Carol to be found today.

Thanks, Lara and Heather. We're still doing what we can!

I hardly slept last night, my thoughts, throughout the dark hours, were for Carol and praying that she would be found today.

It is indeed - and there are now 242. I really miss seeing her name on the boards. I suspect we are all feeling the same mixture of fear and hope.

All we can do now is embrace the gift of patience.

As I looked through the window at a grey scene, there is a part rainbow dipping into the sea. My thoughts are with Carol and those who love and miss her.

I'm popping in whenever I can to see if there's any news. Thinking of Carol all the time.

Our candles, combined, are a beacon of hope.

just come home and lit a candle, and hoping that the light from all the candles will shine the way to where Carol is today.

I too will light a candle. All my thoughts are with Carol and her family and friends.
