Dear John,

Everyone at Dogsey is deeply saddened by this loss.

We all loved Lesley very much - she was the core, the centre, of our site and community. We turned to her for help, for cheering up, for respected opinion, for guidance, and for love. We thank you for sharing such a special person with us, who touched so many hearts and helped so many dogs live a healthier and happier life, across the world.

Lesley will always have a special place in my heart, I will miss our chats, her humour, her limitless knowledge, her fairness, her warmth and her reactions to everything we did with Dogsey. A bit like when one would seek approval from 'mum'. Indeed she was like a mum to me, telling me to get to bed when I was up late, holding my chin up when it was down and fighting my corner at every chance. I am going to miss her very much.

Lesley's legacy will live on in all of us, and in her words, that are now treasured and saved on Dogsey. She helped shape Dogsey into what it is today, she nurtured it like her own and I can think of no one more fitting to dedicate the site too. She saw the good we were doing - and she will always be a part of that. Every decision I make will have her in mind, and the vision we shared will never be lost. It will be hard because everywhere I turn I will see her, but in time when the pain is easier to cope with, I will treasure and look forward to those reminders and memories. She will always be my driving force.

You will always be welcome at Dogsey, and I hope in time, you will visit us and see just how much she meant to us. We know how much you, Hannah and Jackson meant to her - she loved you all so very much. I know you have been unwell, but I hope you will look after yourself and make a full recovery as that's what she would want. Hannah and Jackson will be there for you, and if you let us, we will too. If there's anything we can do, please just ask - we want to be there for you as she was for us.

Our thoughts are with you, Hannah, Jackson and your family at this very difficult time, and we will get in touch shortly with details about a lasting memorial we are planning for Lesley, and a little something for you from all of us.

That is a lovely, touching message Azz.

It is truely a heartwarming tribute.

Kind regards to you and your family..when you're feeling down please read this poem..Lesley is still there with you and always will be...

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
