"
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."

My heart just sank.

I am so sorry

I'm glad she has at least been found and the family can get on with grieving for her.

I am gutted. Just gutted.

My deepest sympathy to Carol's family and many friends. She clearly spent her last hours doing something she loved.

Carry on enjoying those mountains Carol, you can hike them all now.

Oh how sad, RIP Carol, my love and best wishes to her family, friends and friends from Gransnet x

I do think perhaps someone should start a new thread as otherwise new posters may not read the full thread but post anyway. Also perhaps it will help mumsnetters collect the condolences in one place which may help the family.

RIP Carol

Condolences to all the family and friends, so sorry for your loss!

So sad, I have been and lit another candle in rememberance of Carol. She died in her favourite place and doing what she loved.

My thoughts are with the family, sad news.

So very sorry.

Rest in Peace Carol.

So sorry this was the outcome :(

Everyone at Mumsnet Towers is so sad to hear this news. Just been talking to a member of GNHQ, who was telling us that Carol was such a vibrant and much loved member of their community, who will be very much missed.

We're going to change this thread title to reflect the recent news, and will post a link to it on the Facebook group, so your kind messages and condolences can be shared.

Our thoughts are with Carol's family and friends

So very sad. I have posted on fb page.

Been lurking on these threads willing Carol to be found. So very sorry for the outcome. RIP.

So very very sad, my thoughts are with all her family and friends.

I'm so sad to hear this tragic news. Condolences to all her friends at GN and particularly to her family.

curious

It's a lovely idea, but I don't want to start a new one, nor have title edited, as I think that would now bring unwanted extra attention that the family doesn't need, IYSWIM.

anyone who's been posting/lurking will quickly realize what happened anyway.

I am so sorry.

I am at least glad she died in the mountains she loved.

Lurker. So sorry.

to all of you wonderful posters who have worked so hard to try and find her. x

Oh I see, yes makes sense.

X-post KateMumsnet
