My heart goes out to the the family. Its strange for me to feel sadness when I did not know this great man personally...I have not even written on this forum or message board. My only window into his world was the blog and his books. He was the only author who I said and meant was my favorite and always will be.

Thank you for all that you have given me through you work.

May You Enjoy the Company of GOD from all of us here we will miss you and what you brought to our lives.

To Harriet, Wilson and all of RJ's family,

Please accept my sincerest and deepest sympathies on your tragic loss. We here in the online WOT forums really felt privileged that RJ shares so much of himself with us. Thank you all for allowing him the time to spend writing and then blogging for us-we are really touched that he cared enough about us to share so much of himself, and lastly his own epic battle with what amounts to a bunch of strangers online. Please know that if there is anything whatsoever we can ever do for you and yours, please don't hesitate to ask. We really feel a deep connection to you all, and hope that you can take some small solace in knowing how many lives were touched by RJ not only through his writing, but through this blog as well. His stregnth and encouragement to others throughout the fight continues to be an inspiration to us all. I hope you can find some of that strength to get you through this terribly difficult time, and feel some of the love we are sending you. Peace to you all, and again deepest condolences to you both.

RIP RJ. Your books changed my life. I wish I coulda met you. Condolences to RJ's friends and family. I feel like Rand when Moirane went thought the doorframe.

It's amazing how the passing of a person of great stature affects us. We suddenly wonder how we, who seem so small in comparison to someone so large, can hope to survive or accomplish great things. Mr. Jordan will be missed greatly.

It's a strange thing to feel so much regret and sadness at the passing of someone I've never met, but his writngs touched my life and brought joy not only to me, but to thousands and thousands of others. A truly great author, with the ability to make the reader feel as though they are actually in the book - someone with that talent comes along too rarely.

I can only send my deepest condolences to the family, and offer my prayers for RJ and those he left behind.

Robert Jordan will be missed... I have only made it to book 7 and I am in love with your series as are many people throughout the world, your books were there for me throughout my life and I thank you, may you rest in peace and Best Wishes to your family and friends..You will be greatly missed.

I am so sorry for you and your family. Thank you for a wonderful experience and a joyful time reading your books. I look forward to meeting you some day.

My deepest sympathies to the family and friends of one of the greatest gleeman of my generation. May he rest in peace and tell the story of the Dragon Reborn to those whom have passed before us.

My deepest sympathies go to Harriet, Wilson and his family. RJ will be missed, to me, one of the greatest fantasy writers of all time. The world of the wheel of time and others (conan). It will be hard to live without his books now.. A loss felt by many.

I introduced many of his books to my friends, all who came to love it.

Lots of love to RJ's family.

My sincere condolences at this very sad time. I loved Robert Jordans books. They gave me so many happy hours. The world will be a poorer place without him.

He was the Hemingway of the genre... that anyone is blessed with a talent to write such beautiful, perfect, flawless prose is a miracle. Even outside his overwhelming literary accomplishments, his honorable life was one even people who never met him (such as myself) bow in great respect to; a loving husband, a war hero, a scholar and a gentleman, a kind and generous soul. This is just an unfathomable and premature loss, and the giant hole he has left behind is so painful.

His work and imagination brought me and my family so many hours of pleasure. I remember when I first picked up "Eye of the World" and thought, as I still do, the dedication was the most beautiful one I'd ever read... "To Harriet, Light of my Light, Heart of my Heart, Forever"... and thinking this is one good man. My most sincere and heartfelt condolences to his wife, family and friends during this tragic and terrible time.

To RJs family and friends:

I'd like to extend my most sincere condolences to all of you.

One of the best writers of all time is gone and I will miss him dearly.

My deepest sympathies to the Family. may RJ always be remeber for everything he has done.

Most sincere sympathies to Harriet, the family, and all who have been touched as I have by this remarkable man. I truly have no words for the loss that I feel. Thank you RJ for the beautiful world you have created through your words, that we might enjoy it even now. You will be sorely and deeply missed.

Harriet, Wilson and family, sorry for your pain.

See you later Mr. Rigley. I'm hoping God will allow storytime where we are going.

I simply want to pay my respects to an outstanding combat pilot and soldier (I am a soldier), a writer who I have followed for most of my life, and a man who was, obviously from reading the blog, a great family man. To Harriet and family, it may be small condolences at this time, but he was an example to alot of people in how to live. May every person be as well loved and remembered as he will be.

I don't know the words to express my condolences. I just felt that posting in tribute here was the least I could do after the immeasurable joy RJ gave to my life. As many others have stated, its amazing to feel such loss for someone you have never meant. His work touched my soul as it did many others. At least he is now at peace with G*d.

My condolences to the Rigney family. We, the fans, knew him only by his pen names and through his stories, but you knew the man. Goodbye, Robert Jordan; goodbye Mr. Rigney. May the last embrace of the mother welcome you home.

James, was a great author and one who will be deeply missed by the readers around the world. He touched us all with his writing and though gone we will always have his works to remind us of him. My deepest condonlences to his family and know that the world grieves with you! Thoughts and prayers go out to Harriet and the rest of the family.

A sad day for all WoT fans. I read all his books in sequence whilst recovering from a major operation, and I just couldn't put them down, as soon as I finished one I was eager for the next - a rare event.

Sometimes the saddest things bring out the best in us and hopefully this will be so for his (extended) family and friends.

RIP

My deepest sympathies go to his loving wife Harriet, to Wilson Brother/Cousin the 4th of 3 and to all his family and friends who he touched with his wonderful presence.

I first read the Wheel of Time when I was in the Persian Gulf in 1993. His work was a becon light in a dark times for me. I have read his works over and over an always find pleasure in each page. He will truely missed but the Dragon Never dies and will live on in the hearts of all those he has touch.

With Love,

Lester Lewis

I am deeply saddened to hear of Jordan's untimely death. My wishes go out to his family and friends along with the rest of the community and the world at the loss of this great man. The world won't be the same.

His books changed my life and will touch my life even in the future.

I will never forget him.

My condolences to the family and to us all. A light has left this world, and our only comfort is knowing that same light has joined another world and now shines even more brightly and clearly than it ever could in this one.

God bless you especially Harriet. Know that the love and prayers of thousands are with you during this time. Wilson, thanks for all you have done to help keep we " the masses" informed during this difficult ordeal.

Jim, thank you again so much for all you gave us during your time here. Goodbye for now, I look forward to some day meeting you.

With a heavy heart I say goodbye to a wonderful story teller. He captivated my imagination for many years. To his family and friends, may God bless you and give you strength through these hard times. The world is with you.
