    Send all my love to the family and friends. My most deep gratitude to Leslie for so many hilarious moments he gave us. I should have thanked him while he was among us. But this nonsense life we live always makes us leave things ’till tomorrow. I feel very repentant for that. I really am a great fan of fantastic Leslie Nielsen. Now, he is making the angels have the time of their lives with his good humour. His talent is so big, that he needs to share it with the whole Universe. Thank you so much, Leslie.
