Tributes for Carol

I discovered Gransnet through Carol's tragic accident. I too live in the foothills of a wonderful range of mountains in France but I lacked her get-up-and-go, not to mention her free spirit. You died in the place you would have wished, doing what you most enjoyed, Carol. You will be missed, not only by your family but on the many forums you to which you contributed with your wit and wisdom.

Thinking about Carol today, and about her family, especially in NZ, as she should have arrived there to spend Christmas and a couple of months with them.

So sad and tragic that she is not with them- stay safe and take care all grannies out there.

I thought of her yesterday as I was in a shop that had some lovely photos of the Alps. Good that she is with us in our minds. Her family will miss her.

Such a sad time for them I'm sure Carol is deeply missed by everyone,granjura enjoy your Christmas

I knew it was sometime this month Granjura and thought of Carol's family having to deal with this extra sadness. Just feel so much for them.

You too Granjura.

I miss her.

Strange that this thread should start again - I logged on this afternoon and really missed her, and then found this thread. Hope all her family are coping well.

Clearly a reincarnation yourusername123 or have you been lurking for years and years???

What a shame to spoil this... what is the point, really?

Who's spoiling anything, GJ?
Not being aware of any posts by yourusername123 on any of the threads relating to Greatnan or any threads before Greatnan's tragic accident, I merely wondered whether she is a member who has returned under a new name or someone who reads the posts but doesn't usually contribute. "Lurking" is not necessarily a pejorative epithet, it means someone who watches from the sidelines and doesn't say a lot.
It is difficult to miss someone you have never known.

youruser could be a friend of Greatnan's from another site. A number of her friends from other forums came this way.

Who cares? Nothing to do with the sentiments behind this return to the thread.

We all miss Carol. She was one of the backbones of this forum, and even those who did not always agree with her have paid tributes to her and lamented her sudden early death. Granjura, you yourself have been most affected by the loss of this friend, with whom you had many skirmishes in the past.

We also care about one another, and we are interested to hear a new username saying that they miss her too, and wonder what connection they have with her.

To spoil a thread, it has to become the scene of acerbic and unwanted comments. This one is free of such debris, so I don't think we need worry about it staying a suitable tribute.

As ever, Elegran, you have expressed it so well. Thank you. I hesitated to come back here, but am glad I did.

Thank you, Elegran. Just loving comments and memories are all that are needed here. We continue to miss Carol and chat about her elsewhere, too, but it's good to see her mentioned every now and again.

Indeed Whenim. Carol's impact was huge. As long as this forum, those who debated with her and those to whom she sent messages of support are here, we can be sure her spirit will live on in our hearts.

I am so sorry this has happened. I never dreamed this could ever be taken amiss. Yes, "yourusername123" is/was me, j08. I just posted under the username I had at the time, in response to Granjura's sad post.

My sentiment expressed on here is, of course, entirely genuine.

Apologies again to anyone I have upset.

I don't think you've upset anyone, jingl There seem to be a lot of new IDs popping up and I can't work them out so I'm glad you've cleared up any mystery surrounding your name.

Welcome back

Glad you're back, Jingl.

Nice to see you again, Jingl!
