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.

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

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

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 flowers

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.

Thank you for the link. I have just lit my first candle and will continue to do so until Carol is found.

My thoughts are with Carols family and friends. I hope today will bring her back to them xxx

186 candles of hope burned for Carol last night.
The spirit of them shines out through the daylight hours, too.

Today will be the day.

And another lit. Let today be the day she is found

What a wonderful idea. I woke and could not get back to sleep, came down for a hot drink and a look at the forum and found this. Have lit mine.

MaggieP Tue 05-Nov-13 00:50:29

Lovely idea to light a candle, I have done that, thanks for the idea and link.

I don't write much on here and visit every now and then.

However, in the past week, like many people, I have checked in several times a day in the hope of reading good news. Although I have only been able to post on FB, I think those on here who have been able to be more involved are inspirational and commend all their efforts.

I have lit a candle and my thoughts are with Carol's family. flowers
