I thought it would be a good idea to open a thread where those of us who are upset by this news can comfort each other. Better to share thoughts here and leave the IMPORTANT thread for on-going efforts to find her.

Greatnan/Carol in my thoughts all the time and like everyone else here hoping for good news.

Please let there be some good news today.

Marelli Tue 05-Nov-13 14:31:08

Surely soon? In my thoughts all the time.

GDG hugs and love to you and all the family flowers x

Dusk is approaching (5.15 is sunset in Haute-Savoie) and so, so, sad that there is no news. My heart goes out to Carols family.

270 candles are burning as a beacon of hope , again, tonight.
Feel free to post the link on FB or anywhere that people may care to add a small light into the darkness for Carol.

Or light a second candle ....each candle burns for just 48hrs, so lighting one each day will maintain a wave of light, and hope.
I believe in the power of hope.

What a lovely thought - have lit my candle and hope and pray for some news shortly. Thoughts with the family and thanks to all those beavering away on GN and MN to help things along. flowers

I've lit a candle too. And just needed to connect. Keep strong everyone.

Penstemmon Tue 05-Nov-13 16:34:00

just want to reiterate to family that I am thinking of you and of Carol.

Anne58 Tue 05-Nov-13 17:31:14

I had hoped so much to have news today. I keep hitting the "refresh" button just in case.....

JessM Tue 05-Nov-13 17:38:37

Yes indeed, I am thinking about her every hour of the day.

janeainsworth Tue 05-Nov-13 17:39:23

In my thoughts too.

purplehairstreak Tue 05-Nov-13 17:47:01

Just lit a candle - may this solidarity of hope, support and love keep Carol safe and may she be found soon. With peace and hope in my heart....

I've just logged on to catch up on the news about Carol. The candles burning symbolise so much. LaraGreatgrandaughter, thanks so much for taking the time to keep in touch with us.
Grannyactivist's post expresses so well that for Carol, her family means everything. The love and pride she felt for all her family is at the heart of her. The way her family are responding to her being missing is so like Carol, determined, loving and the ability to think creatively.
Thanks also to Granjura and When, and everyone else for working so hard, and taking the time to update these threads

Candle lit with tears and hope with prayers for the family

I've been away awhile and logged in to this truly awful scenario. Unbelievable. I so hope there'll be the news everyone is waiting for tomorrow. Such a shock.

bookdreamer Tue 05-Nov-13 18:53:49

I thought what a load of old tosh before clicking on the link. Those candles and Galen's words have found me fighting back the tears.

Little candle lit for Carol and family here in the Highlands of Scotland, so small, so insignificant, but a tearful tiny beacon of HOPE.

glassortwo Tue 05-Nov-13 19:40:53

thistle its not only your one little candle its all of our candles together making a bright beacon for Carol.

Marelli Tue 05-Nov-13 19:58:49

That's so true, glass. xx

sunflowersuffolk Tue 05-Nov-13 20:09:25

My candle is lit tonight too , such a little flame shining out in the darkness - but together they all make a blaze of light. Hoping so much for a miracle very soon.

positivepam Tue 05-Nov-13 21:23:33

My candle is lit tonight, also with love and hope for Carol and her family. There are not enough words.......flowers

Anne58 Wed 06-Nov-13 00:23:21

Another candle here too, with what Carol might have said ringing in my ears as I did it!

We have come to the end of another day, but not to the end of our hope.

Stay strong, strength has always been Carols driving force, coupled with love and pride for her family, if anyone can still be there, it's Carol.

Love, hope and strength to all.

Goodnight
