Sometimes even when you've fought your best....

RJ will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to Harriet, Wilson and all of your family. Please remember, that in time the sadness will become less, even though the memory never fades.

Condolances from Finland,

Janna

RJ will be missed - his humor, wit and imagination have and will continue to inspire me. I will keep his family in my prayers. See you on the other side.

When I heard this I was stunned. I never knew RJ, but his work touched my life.

I'm sad that he's gone but death is not the end.

Godspeed, sir.

My first thoughts were simply "Sh*t, that sucks." I don't know how I can express my

thoughts any better than that. To Harriet and Wilson, I'm sorry for your loss. I've lost

family members before their time, and it sucks big time. Only suggestions (not that you need them) are to celebrate the happy times and memories that he gave you (and millions of us). That is what he would want the most.

My second thought, selfishly, was about book 12. But after thinking about it a bit more, I honestly don't want it to be completed. No matter who writes book 12, it won't be the same. It just won't. I know Harriet and the other editors know the book inside and out, along with how he wanted it to end, but there WILL be something missing. So my request, let it stop at book 11. Please do not finish the book.

My prayers (such as they are) are with the family. May the Creator shine on you for all of eternity.

Rest in peace RJ.

May the light shine on all your loved ones.

Ciao, Robert. And thank you for everything.

May you shelter in the palm of the Creator's hand, and may the last embrace of the mother welcome you home

I will forever treasure your work.

Thank you for bringing to life the most incredibly detailed and believable fantasy world I've ever seen.

My one brief meeting with you will forever rank among the high points of my life.

I hope you found what you were looking for.

MY SINCERE SYMPATHIES TO THE FAMILY. I FEEL LIKE I LOST MY BEST FRIEND.

I WILL STILL CHERISH EACH BOOK AS I READ THEM FOR THE 20TH TIME IN HIS MEMORY

BLESSED BE

NANCY, TEXAS

Rest in peace.

I send my best regards to the family of a man i had great respect for.

and,

To RJ:

"May the wheel spin you back as onwe that knows happiness and joy, thank you for your gift to us.

Your story has inspired me in ways I can not put into words."

There was more than one casualty here. Rand, Perrin and Mat, and countless others, all perished when James passed on after his valiant battle. Oh, their past deeds still survive as long as one book exists and loving hands turn the pages but their future has grown dark and impenetrable.

I know James' immediate family has lost more than we readers could ever imagine and my condolences go out to all of them. Our loss will never match yours but we feel the loss non-the-less.

Mayhap the boys will rise from the darkness and we will walk in their shoes one more time and in it there will be the essence of the creator who invited us into his world and fate closed the door on prematurely. Even if we never get this it will have been better to have read and loved.. then to have never read at all. Thank you so much for sharing your world with us James.

I trust you are in a better place with the true Creator.

You have my condolences, it is a sad day for literature when one of the greatest fantasy novelists pass away. And even though we have never met, rj inspired me by how he lived, how he never gave in. He was, an always will be my biggest role-model, and if I am able to achieve a small part of what he was able to, i will be happy.

Much love to everyone effected by this tragic event

You know, somewhere up there RJ is looking down and smiling at us.

The suffering is now over and the pain is gone, now he's home where he belongs.

He will be sorely missed as his was an imagination that comes along once in a generation. RJ opened doors to places that we could never go on our own and for that I thank him.

When my time comes I hope to see him in the clouds and have a chat on this and that, but until that day theres but one thing to say, "God bless you RJ, may the Lord speed your way."

Jon, The Old South

with sadness in my heart, I write this to the man who helped better myself. You will always be in my heart and thoughts. the world in which you so generously gave to us to explore and live, i thank you from the deepest spot in my heart. to your family i give my deepest condolence, and shoulder to lean on. R.I.P. Robert Jordon you will sorely be missed.

A wonderful person whose perseverance and positive attitude are an inspiration to so many others in suffering. A wonderful writer whose work touched and changed the lives of so many people. This is a tragic loss, and we share your sorrow greatly. I don't know if there is anyone else i can think of whose imagination and wit and character were so clearly and powerfully exhibited in the written word.

Thank you for sharing your life with us, RJ.

Ahhh... burn it.

Peace. Thanks for so many stories, and years of entertainment and inspiration.

You'll be sorely, sorely missed.

I don't know if he knew how apt the title. "A Memory of Light," was, but I know that in the years to come I will remember this day everytime I read one of his books. There is an enduring legacy here that is an achievment that anyone could be proud of. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family, and will endure as one of the greatest authors of this genre.

Indeed it will not be.....

God, this is hard! Through his works he has been such a part of my life I didn't realize until today.

I first read Eye of the World in 1989 after just having graduated from High School. I am now 36 and happily married. What a grand time we have had together.

God bless you RJ and your whole family!

You will be missed by many!

Jason, Maryland

My heart goes out, along with my prayers, to Harriet and the entire family. He was a man amongst men, and a storyteller like no other in his generation. His light will live on amongst his accomplishments, as a great man of literature. Apart from his life, we could ask for no less.

May God Bless and Keep You.

Josh

I feel as if I had lost a good friend. I liked and admired RJ not only for his great stories but because you could feel in his books how he understood and loved people. The world has lost the best fantasy author of our time and a great man.

Thank you so much for enriching my life over so many years. God bless you!

My deepest condolonces to the family. I loved his books and hope his family is at peace knowing he has moved on but will never be far from them.
