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.

Just a reminder - something most people can do:

1. if you have a Facebook account go to this link and "share" it so that all your contacts see it.

https://www.facebook.com/carolsheridanmissing

and/or

2. If you have a Twitter account, or know anyone who does, ask them to search for "embrace age" and find one of Bags's tweets on the subject e.g. the BBC one, click on expand and then click on Retweet. It will then go out to all the followers on the twitter account.

You don't have to mention your own life on gransnet - just say that she is a friend (or a friend of a friend).

Wish there was more I could do, I can't settle to anything, keep coming back to see if there is any news. No doubt we all feel the same.

Now the police have finally mounted a search I suppose there is nothing more we can do but wait.

My thoughts and prayers are with Greatnan and all the family and her large gransnet family

I have at last got onto the Anglo info website to post. I posted in the car and driving working on the premise that the people who read that notice cars and may well be out and about. I referred them to the Facebook page as I can't copy on the ipad.

Thanks to everyone and carol's friends on gransnet the french media have picked up the story.

The above is posted on the fb page.

LizG Thu 31-Oct-13 21:17:04

Thank you Lona

Good!

Marelli Thu 31-Oct-13 21:42:34

There is so much happening now, and so much involvement - surely soon she will be found....?

tanith Thu 31-Oct-13 21:57:01

I have had her on my mind all day, please let her be found soon..

Daisyanswerdo Thu 31-Oct-13 22:04:48

I keep coming back here, hoping . . . and thinking of her family.

positivepam Thu 31-Oct-13 22:12:19

I am stunned and there is nothing I can add to everything that has been said. My love, thoughts and prayers are for Carol and her family and as has already been said by so many, please let her be found soon safe and well.

I've been ill in bed for three days and keep compulsively coming back to GN hoping for news. Carol's family are showing themselves to be just as wonderful as Greatnan always described, but my heart goes out to them all at this time.

Anne58 Thu 31-Oct-13 23:54:33

Daisy , you and me both, I just can't keep away. I can hear Mr P sound asleep in our bedroom, but here I am in the office checking every five minutes or so.

Wish I had an ipad, tablet or whatever, surely it would make keeping up to date easier, however stuck with a desktop.

Sending love and positive thoughts to all.

phoenix I've been taking my iPad to bed and checking it through the night. Whatever good the Boots No 7 serum was doing my complexion has been ruined by the bloody great big bags under my eyes! grin

grannyactivist Fri 01-Nov-13 00:09:38

when - you've been a great support in liaising with Greatnan's family, the media, FB etc. - as well as keeping us informed here on GN and I'm sure I speak for many of us when I say how appreciative we are. flowers

whenim64 Fri 01-Nov-13 00:17:54

Thanks, ga. Having spent some time with Greatnan, like anno, it's getting more tortuous by the day. If I don't do something I'll go mad! See you in the morning, peeps! smile

LizG Fri 01-Nov-13 00:30:44

Excellent post ga

Anne58 Fri 01-Nov-13 00:35:50

I must go to bed now, but my hopes, love and strong thoughts will be with all.

I know that some are praying, and some are sending positive thoughts without the umbrella (no doubt the wrong word) of a supreme being, but if I might echo the words of Dave Allen "Goodnight, and may your God go with you"

Every good wish to all.

baubles Fri 01-Nov-13 06:14:39

Morning all, hoping this day will bring good news.

whenim64 Fri 01-Nov-13 06:43:34

Morning, baubles. Yes, daylight again and the search will be underway in increasing earnest. Please let it be today that we hear some news.

bluebell Fri 01-Nov-13 07:03:33

Ga - you put it so well about when - hope you are better soon and that we all have some news today

JessM Fri 01-Nov-13 07:22:13

Oldgreymare Fri 01-Nov-13 07:28:37
