Carol - messages of support

We will indeed, and that's a promise. I will do it now.

My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.

Done.

So very sad. The news we've all feared. I was thinking about Carol a lot last night, in the night, this morning.....and like sunseeker I'm not on FB. So what I will do now is light another candle for Carol - one of rememberance this time, and of thanks for the person she was, in celebration of her life and to mark her passing into what may be an even greater light. In great sadness, but proud to be part of this community of powerful, caring women.

Please do the same for me [I'm also not on Facebook]. I realised a long time ago how 'real' internet friendships were.

Having read the post on Facebook, I think they are only requesting that people post there and don't try to contact the family directly in other ways. No problem with posting here I think.

oh! How very, very sad. She was an amazing woman.

Yes, ok to post here, and condolences from GN passed to Carol's family, if you are not able to see the Missing page.

Oh yes, she certainly was!

Bless all of you who have obviously been such a support to family and to each other.

How very sad.

RIP Carol .. the intrepid.

The plea on FB is for us not to send individual emails PMs etc.
She was an impressive woman who did much for others - pupils, family and I'm sure many more. In later life the way she did what she loved best was truly impressive and an inspiration.
She would have been proud and touched by the way so many people, many of the GN members, have worked and done their bit to help find her.

A feisty strong woman.. she seemed to live every day with enthusiasm.

Such terrible news. I have never met Carol but have had many interesting conversations with her on Gransnet so feel that I did "know" her a little. She always seemed to be such a stong lady who lived her life to the full and had done more in her life than many of us will ever do. My heart goes out to her dear family and friends. xx

Sorry but I don't do facebook.

I think Simon is just asking that people do not contact the family directly, so it's fine to post here.

Can I just say thank you to when granjura anno and all the other unnamed people who have done everything in their powers to help in the search for Carol. You are all amazing. {{{hugs}}}

The adventures, the causes.....the jokes! Miss you Carolx

Rereadng the FB page, I see it that way too. They do not want to be overwhelmed by direct messages of support.

This is the news that we have all been dreading, but hoped not to get. Carol was a strong woman, who always followed her path bravely, even if it was a difficult one. I believe that if she could have chosen her end, it would have been on one of her walks in her beloved mountains.

Her posts will be missed on Gransnet.

Seconded and that includes you glass. Much love to you all xx

I wish I could send real

I have followed all the concerns about Carol since her disappearance. I am so sad to read the update. She obviously had a lot of friends on Gransnet. I am thinking of them and her family now. "No man is an island -ask not for whom the bell tolls"

So sad.

Just so sad.

I know that Carol was much loved and respected. My condolences RIP Carol

The very sad news that we all were dreading, what tragedy and my heartfelt thoughts and condolences go to all Carol's loved ones and friends.
I don't do Facebook either so hope GN will also be sending our messages from GN HQ?

I don't do Facebook so my condolences are on here. I feel relieved that her body has been found . When I babysat in Geneva she offered to meet up because it was a very lonely situation and I was very grateful for her thoughtfulness. I must add my great respect for Granjura and all that she has done.
