First thread was started by Trisagion on Wed 30-Oct-13 15:18:17

"
This is to ask for the help of all Mumsnet members, most especially anyone who lives in the Haute Savoie departement.

One of our members, Carol Sheridan, is missing. She is a keen and intrepid hiker and explores the high mountains of the area. She is experienced and resourceful but neither her family nor many friends have had any communication with her since Saturday 27 October.

She may be lost or perhaps had an accident and be awaiting rescue.

She is 73, five foot five tall and drives a black Fiat Panda registration AZ522AP

If you have any information on Carol's whereabouts or the location of her car please contact French Police and her daughter Fiona Conyers [note from MNHQ, we've now removed the email address to respect the family's wish for privacy]

HQ are hoping to post the MISSING poster circulated by her family on here."

Sizzlesthedog · 06/11/2013 10:34

598 candles lit. Praying for carol to be found soon.

bluebayou · 06/11/2013 10:37

The search and rescue seem to pulling out all the stops. Which is good .

FestiveEdition · 06/11/2013 10:39

The candles burn for 48 hours, so if people lit a candle for Carol when the group opened on Sunday then they may want to consider lighting again today.

602 candles, from 22 countries, are now shining out as a beacon of hope, and a light in the darkness

MyCatAndI · 06/11/2013 10:51

I really hope today is the day.

Candles lit hopefully lighting Carols way home to her family.

Sad news indeed. But, to quote:

^"Carol was an amazing woman who lived an amazing life. She was dearly loved by many and will be hugely missed by all of us. Personally, I am taking some comfort in that her last moments were spent doing something she loved.
