I would also like to endorse what other listers are saying. Lesley's loss will be profound. The work she has done tirelessly for all of us is of immeasurable value.

I have been a member of these lists for many years now although I have not made contribution lately due to my own indifferent health. I do watch the lists though and as Lesley and I share a birthday on 6th March I am always in contact with her then. Lesley took away any stigma that many of the listers felt at having been descended from convicts and for that I especially admire and thank her. I also thank her for the compassion that she gave when I lost my eldest daughter Lisa to cancer a few years ago. One of my fondest memories are the picnics that we all attended as a group. Coralie and Wayne were there as were many more of you. Thank you Lesley and may your journey be peaceful and painless. You will be missed so much. Love Shirley McLeod It is indeed sad for us all and especially Colin. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Coralie Hird" <cdhird@optusnet.com.au> To: <aus-pt-jackson-convicts@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2013 11:36 AM Subject: [PJ] LESLEY UEBEL > > Colin Kennedy, Lesley Uebel's husband, has asked me to pass on the sad > news > that Lesley was diagnosed in mid-October with an untreatable, incurable > and > terminal brain tumour and is now in the final stages of succumbing to its > effects.

I second Jan & Sandra's thoughts. Lesley's research is an absolute testament to her. I am grateful that she shared her research on the Claim a Convict site, the PJ rootschat & her publications. I consider her an expert in convict research. I sincerely hope that her Claim a Convict data can find a permanent home. I think she has created an invaluable resource, both for finding information & for contacting other people with an interest in or information about a convict. I'm fairly new to genealogy research, but would be more than happy to help out in any way whatsoever to ensure that her research & the Claim a Convict site live on. I wish Lesley, her husband peace, dignity & strength. My thoughts are with them & their family.

I am sure that all those Leslie has touched by helping in our research will be sharing this grief in their own way. I hope the knowledge that many are grateful to you and care about you will bring all possible comfort in the time ahead. Leslie in particular, and this group was a whole have taught me and all of us who have participated in any way an immense amount about the early years of our country and of our personal and family past. I hope I am a better Australian for this knowledge. The group has even enabled me to identify a branch of my family I would never have known without it. Many thanks for a job done with scholarship, commitment and generosity of spirit. Bob Hinds. ------------------------------ Message: 10 Date: Sun, 29 Dec 2013 13:38:12 +1100 From: Chris <clrandall56@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [PJ] AUS-PT-JACKSON-CONVICTS Digest, Vol 8, Issue 179 To: aus-pt-jackson-convicts@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <52BF8B14.7030807@googlemail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed How terribly sad.
