"
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."

Condolences to her family.

RIP Catol.
Condolences to her family.

Her grandson has asked that messages of condolence are restricted to the FB p[age. Those at Gransnet who know the family are saying that there will be good reason for saying this (perhaps they will be able to keep the page online as a tribute)

RIP Carol .

Thoughts are with her family.

How sad :( My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I haven't posted before as I couldn't add anything to the search but have been thinking about Carol and am very sorry to hear the news. Condolences to all her family and friends.

RIP Carol.

An amazing and much loved lady who truly lived her life.

For someone to be thought of so highly by so many people is reflective of Carol's personality.

It wasn't the outcome anyone wanted but Carol has passed away doing something she enjoyed very much and in a place she obviously loved being in.

Xxxxx

I'm not on FB, but want to say so very sorry.

Such sad news .

My heart goes out to Carol's family.

Rest in peace Carol.

Oh dear, Very sad.

So sad :(
I hope that whatever the reason, it was quick and painless and yes, she died doing something she loved.

RIP Carol Sheridan and condolences to your family for their loss of you.

very sad news.

I don't think they are saying you can't write that you are sad she died anywhere but on FB Just not to try and contact them directly surely?!

He said "We still welcome your messages of support and condolence, but ask that, for now, you restrict them to posting on the wall in this group. " - he means we welcome your messages but only send these messages for us through this page.

I am so very sorry.

Oh no .

I saw the last few threads in my my TIO and hoped against hope I had misunderstood.

I didn't know Carol but still feel so desperately sad for her and all who did.

Those who have led these threads and contributed, etc etc are all amazing. .

Yup agree skully - so no one on here and especially anyone on GN where she had some close friends should feel unable to share/process their grief on the forum. Am worried the messages of "only post on FB" are making some feel they are not allowed to post - especially on GN.

Such very sad news, will keep Carols family in my thoughts

So sad. I hope she died peacefully.
Rip carol.
Hope your family and friends find tge strength to get through this tough time.

Well done to allthe mners who have beem helping over the past week or so in translating, bumping threads and keeping hope alive

Such sad news, thinking of her family and friends at this very difficult time.

I am very sad - I 'knew' Carol through forums & had the great pleasure of meeting her once.

She was an amazing woman -an inspiration to us all that getting older doesn't have to mean giving up on life.

She dies doing what she loved best.

She would have been hugely touched by all the support that has been going on for the last week or so.

RIP Carol.

what a tragic outcome

RIP Carol - you, your family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers

Should the listing in the DotD be changed now, do you think? Should we ask MNHQ to change it?

Yes RIP Carol.

I would like to say to her family and friends that she must have been a very remarkable woman. I am so sorry for your loss.
