To the McClelland family who were so dearly loved by Pamela. I met Pam through an advert for someone to mind a beautiful black Labrador. As we had recently lost both our dos I applied for this important job and was fortunate enough to be told I would like you to look after Murphy. As time went by we formed a very nice friendship and several times Pam was there for me to offer advice and support when my Mother passed away. Such a very sweet woman. We often used to meet for coffee and a good old chat and how I loved to hear stories about her family and to this day I still have a photo of the Seattle Great Grandson on my phone, plus photos of Murphy and little Friday through my home. To you all I send my love and wish I could be there for Pam's funeral. Again love to her family she was so very proud of. Pamela Leslie.

There simply aren't enough words in any language to express the deep love and immense gratitude I have for Pam, my marvellous Mother-in-Law.
To have known her, loved her and been loved by her, was a privilege and an honour.
I picture her now, youthful and vibrant, on a sunny beach, with Jack's hand in hers, smiling.
Always smiling.

Will forever be grateful for my 'other Mum', Mrs McClelland. I was always so welcome to join the McClelland family at their home , outings, or holidays. I ate my fair share of their food and must've driven them batty with the ridiculous amount of giggling that Shauna and I got up to.
I always observed with such interest and envy at how Shauna's family interacted. They had a Mum and dad who were still together. I was definitely in the minority back then! But I enjoyed watching this crazy Irish family dynamic. The laughter, the communication and so much love. It was so nice seeing a husband and wife being loving towards each other.
It gave me hope that maybe one day I could have the same.
I do.

Thank you Pam. What a fabulous Mum you've been to all your kids...and to this kid who needed a safe place to land sometimes.
Thank you all of you guys for putting up with me!!!

Shauna, I love you.
Ive gone through this only 5 months ago. Ive got ya!! We can do this together, as we've always done.
