Tributes for Carol

Thanks very much, Granjura. The family will have appreciated your support in all their shock and confusion.

You have been marvellous Granjura
Dare I say this , maybe you will be returning to Gransnet , I hope so !

Ditto

Thank you for letting us know that she didn't suffer and for the constant updates. Greatnan was an inspirational woman that touched many of us and will be sadly missed.

Thank you so much granjura, you have been a wonderful support for Carol's family, and for all of us who felt so helpless

I agree. In some ways though I still can't believe it. Every day that she was missing I thought that if anyone can come through this, then Carol can.

Much love to all.

Sincere thanks to granjura for the update, and for her support for Fiona and Carol's grandchildren. I find myself unable to think of Carol/Greatnan without the word 'inspirational' coming quickly to mind. It is such a relief to know the severity of her fall meant she would not have suffered in the long days until her body was found.

What Iam64 said. And also, to see the outpouring of help, goodwill and effort from all those who knew Carol, whether in person or in cyberspace.

granjura, it is what friends do, but this has been such a major happening....and you have done so much.
To know that Carol wouldn't have suffered is a such a blessing.

granjura thank you so much for letting us know that Carol didn't suffer and also for taking the time to keep us updated during what must have been a very difficult time for you dealing with this heartbreaking situation.

It is such a relief to hear that Carol didn't suffer. Thank you for letting us know granjura

.... and from me too Granjura thanks, it's helpful to know that Greatnan would not have suffered.

Thank you so much for this Granjura hearing this is a great relief. You have proved a special person to us all as well as to the family. Still can't believe all that has happened or that Carol will no longer be posting.

to know there was no suffering is some sort of relief..

Granjura You are a true friend.

Many thanks for keeping us updated, Granjura. A heartbreaking and tragic event for Carol's family but a relief to know she did not suffer.

Granjura you have been a tower of strength to Carol's family during this awful time. Thank you, as many others have said, for what you have done during the stressful time of not knowing and carrying on once the horror of the tragic accident came to light.

I will miss greatnan's posts. She was larger than life. She reminded me of my own grandma...are all teachers of that generation the same? Opinionated, eloquent, honest, never afraid to tell it as it is. Refreshing! Challenging... Full of gumption and she made a difference to many lives. She cared. Said she had a dodgy sense of humour and then posted jokes galore. I wish I had known her personally. I think she would taught me a thing or two. My thoughts are with her family. I know how it feels to lose your conductor.X

Only knew Carol from her posts and the tales of Gransnetters who had met her. She sounded a feisty and independent lady and an inspiration to us younger grans. Sincere condolences to Carol' s family. At least her spirit can walk free in her beloved mountains.

laidback, although I am a teacher of Carol's generation, I am not in the same league. She was a one-off and we honour her as such. And thanks to Granjura for her help to the family.

I had been wondering about the circumstances of Carol's fall. It's a relief to know she would not have suffered.

I am relieved carol did not suffer and finding the thought of her spirit walking free in her beloved mountains comforting Thankyou seasider

Is there a Gransnet award for Granjura? Can she be made an honorary Gransnetter? Or be persuaded to rejoin? My condolences are on another thread for Carole's family.

for Granjura Thank you for being so supportive. You will have been a great comfort to Carol's family. My mind is now at rest knowing that Carol died instantly, doing something she enjoyed, in a place that she loved.

Granjura my feeling are exactly the same as everyone else's on here
