"
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."

So sorry to read the sad news.

Such sad news. RIP Carol

Oh no. I am so sorry to hear this. I didn't know Carol, but from what her family, as well as her friends here, have said about her, she sounds like an inspiring and courageous woman who lived her life to the very fullest.

My thoughts are with Carol's loved ones and I too will continue to light her candles.

RIP Carol, my thoughts are with her family and friends.

To Carol's family:
I am just one of many hundreds, if not thousands, of Mumsnetters and Gransnetters who have been hoping for the safe return of your beloved Mum and Grandma. I am so deeply sorry for this enormous loss. Carol sounds like the most wonderful person and of course you will miss her hugely. My thoughts and deepest condolences are with you all .

How awful. Sympathies to her family

Sincere condolences to Carols family. Had followed the threads and wishing for positive news. So sad.

RIP Carol

So sorry to read this

I'm so sorry. Rip Carol

Just saw the update on FB. So sorry to hear this sad news. Thinking of her family and friends x

Carol was quite a woman - nothing like her 73 years. She would be thrilled by the tributes on here. She always said she had good friends - I don't think she realised just how many people she had offered friendship to. I was one of them, and stayed with her just over a month ago. She lived in idyllic Alpine surroundings, like somehing out of Heidi. She took me out to share 'her' stunning mountains, lakes, ski slopes and high pastures, where we sat and looked down on the world below. Such a memorable time that I had hoped to enjoy with her again. Very sad to contemplate the gap she has left in my life.

what a lovely post.
I'm so sorry for your loss!

simat - you must be devastated. Granjura too, I'm sure.
There is a poem by Rossetti which has given me comfort through some major losses. I read it this morning, after heating the news.....and thought that it might well have been Carols instruction. I hope it brings a tiny piece of comfort.

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of the future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

So sorry for the loss of someone who was clearly a great mum, nan and friend. Thoughts are with all the family and friends, both in RL and virtually.

I have lurked and hoped against hope for a good outcome.
So, so sorry that this is not the case.

My thoughts are will the family and friends, here and in RL.
RiP, Carol.

I've posted earlier - I 'knew' Carol from forums & had the great pleasure of meeting her a couple of years ago. She was a wonderful woman, an example to us all as we get older.

I am just so relieved that she was found. My greatest fear was that the snow would come & there would be no resolution to this tragedy.

My thoughts are with her family tonight. I am sure they know how well loved she was by so many people.

Such a sad loss :(
I'm another who lurked and hoped for a better outcome. I hope it's some comfort to those that loved Carol to hear she shouldn't have experienced too much pain.
My thoughts are with Carol's family and many friends xxx

So sorry to hear the sad news, my thoughts are with her family and friends. I read the story about Carol going missing, she sounds like an inspirational woman who lived life to the full and will be missed by all who cared for her. xxxx

Very sorry to read this, . "A life well lived" she will be greatly missed.

So sorry to see this news

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends.
