Georgiana, Lange and Richard,
We just learned of Leland's passing and want to extend our sympathies. He was always enjoyable to be around him because he was so multi-talented and consistent in his nature. There wasn't anything that he didn't try - and anything he tried, he accomplished. He may be gone, but the legend lives on.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I had the pleasure of knowing Leland for almost all of my life. He was a good, caring, kind man and a favorite of Mother and Daddy's. I have so many fond memories that will never leave my heart and I will continue to carry with me for years to come. Leland will be so missed.
I don't know much, but this I can guarantee - Bebe and Pink were right there to greet Leland and they are all in good hands now.
George - my heart goes out to you. I do know the heartbreak of losing your soulmate, but I have also learned they are always with you! Let all your family and friends who love and care about you help carry you through this difficult time. My heart is with you as well.
