I thank You...

Today I have learned of RJ's passing. He had been in my thoughts for the last year, as I was aware of his struggle. I'm very sad now, because although knowing him only from his books, I considered him a great man in many ways. His books have been with me for the last few years - through good and bad moments. As someone already said, I'm one of the countless people whose thread of life was waeved into Robert's world. In return, I made him a part of my own.

Thank you and farewell...

A great light has gone out. Thank you, and God speed.

I'm saddedned to hear about Robert Jordan's passing. My Aunti had introduced him to me many years ago when I was 13 years old. I have read and re-read his books on a yearly basis and his boooks had been with me through the good days and the bad days. He was great writter. My condolances and RIP.

I am extremely saddened at the passing of Robert Jordan from this life.He was without doubt the greatest Fantasy writer I have ever had the pleasure of reading.His books have been my constant companions for years and the hours spent reading the most enjoyable experienced.

I extend my heartfelt condolences to his immediate family and friends and will remember them in my prayers.The world of Literature has truly lost a great man and I have lost a friend.

When I overheard the shop assitant telling another customer of RJ's passing I very nearly burst into tears in front of everyone there. I have always been able to lose myself in his world when I needed to take a break from the one I live in. It feels like losing a family member. You never fully appreciate them until they're gone.

May he rest in peace.

Though I am young (only thirteen) I read and continue to read Robert Jordan's books. When He passed away I was so upset I could not do anything for the rest of the day. Even now I miss him but appreciate his books even more. Since he passed away there is now a little of him that still lives on in the books I read. I and many others will miss Robert Jordan, one of the best fantasy writers the world has ever known. Rest in Peace Mr. Jordan.

I was given Book One of Wheel by my good friend Frank, and it sat on the nightstand for six months. Fortunately, Frank kept nagging me about not having started it. One reply left here, I read: "...We are much poorer now that a writer of such caliber as Robert Jordan has left us...." I would have to say my life has been much richer with the caliber of writing Mr. Jordan left with us. Everyone I've ever spoken to that read The Wheel series adamantly agrees, it is the best they've ever read. Goosebumps rise with the memories of thrills, anticipation, and pleasure brought to life from Mr. Jordan's writing.

The treasure is not lost, the true treasure lives on. Robert Jordan will continue to leave a trail of joy on this world long after we have all departed with him.

For every man, woman, and child, it is a sad day when comes the passing of a legend. Robert Jordan was none other than a legend in the world of fantasy. If I could say one thing to him, it would be "Thank you."

i am sitting here crying my eyes out. i am not a blog or computer person by nature, but finally the info regarding Robert Jordan's death made its way to my ears. He was someone who made me yearn to create though i had no talent for it. There are few books that come along that affect me like eating a favorite food of good sex; that occupy my mind, just lurking in the background "on low". The Wheel of Time made life worth living. Wow....

I was sad when i heard the news of Mr. Jordan's death. I recieved the news late and its taken me along time to think on what to write or do. My friends and I really enjoyed what we've read of the Wheel of time series. I to be brutally honest am quite obsessed with the series and plan to read every book of the series from start to finish. i decided that i will reread everybook while waiting for the last book. If i had the money i'd buy everybook and make use them to make my personal library but even though Mr. Jordan is now resting in peace i will continue to tell everyone i know to read his books.

May the light shine upon him wherever he is. I was so sorry and sad when I heard he had past which came as a big shock since he died in sept. and i found out in nov. all i could think is the man was a genius and he is no more. I have read the whole series and anxiously waiting for the final but that is beside the point, the point is the world has lost one of the greatest writers of our time and I for one will never forget the first time I picked up his books a little hesistant but fully prepared to carry through because a friend who has past told me it was the greatest series he has ever read. I never knew what an impact his books would have on my life. My deepest condolenses to his wife and family, and to Mr.Jordan THANK YOU for your genius.

I had a very big shock today when I recieved the news from my brother-in-law that Robert Jordan had died last Sept. I am not a blog person by nature, but with my brother-in-law's help, I was finally able to access the information regarding Robert Jordan’s death. I have been a very quiet but very avid fan of Robert Jordan and THE WHEEL OF TIME series ever since I was first introdued to him by my brother-in-law shortly after the first book was released. I have read the whole series and have been anxiously waiting for the final one. I am saddened that Mr. Jordan will not finish the final book but am pleased that he made contingencies to have it completed. In my humble opinion, the world has lost one of the greatest writers of our time and I will forever miss his true genius. May God's blessings be upon Robert Jordan, his wife Harriet and his family - he will be truely missed.

I was reading a list of people that had passed away this year and was shocked to discover Robert Jordan's name on the list. My condolences to his family.

One of the greatest joys in my life has been the reading of a good book. I particularly enjoy exploring new lands in the world of Fantasy. I have been reading the Wheel of Time books since the beginning and they've brought me much pleasure over the years. As always when someone you care about (even from a distance) passes away, we are left wanting more. Whether it be the time spent with family or, in my case, the chance to further adventure in the world(s) he created or planned to create.

I'm happy to hear that his final Wheel of Time novel will be completed, but saddened that it was not the great author himself that would bring closure to the saga I've enjoyed so much. I can honestly say Robert Jordan has touched my life. He will truely be missed.

Thank you Mr. Robert Jordan for filling my thoughts with lucid visions of an alternate reality. I grew with Rand and the others, and learned a little more about duty....... what it means to be a man, full of integrity and loyalty. Your WOT has become a bright part of my life's experience, and a portion in the fabric of my character and soul.

I picked up your Conan Chronicles, laughed at the whimsical strife and fierce determination of Conan. A little more of the founding passion and sacrifices of our Fore Fathers in "The Fallon Blood". Aw, the mysteries of love, desire and man's contention for more...

Thank you so much, you will be missed and loved, James Oliver Rigney, our "Robert Jordan".

i did not even know he was gone...i have read "Knife of Dreams" perhaps the hundreth time now and i would always wonder when he would write his next book. i kept saying no way is it going to be finished in the next book, theres still a lot of things thats going to happen. i was 13 when i readn"the eye of the world" since then i have been reading the wheel of time. i still cant believe its over, he's gone. i never thought that a simple story about a sheep herder and his friends would touch me so profoundly. i had always found a kindred souls in the characters he made, they tought me of honor, duty, loyalty, love, loss and suffering. his stories always made me feel that all the hardships i have faced is part of a grand design, that all i have to do was stay the course and persevere. thank you RJ, thank you Harriet, thank you for all the times you welcomed me into the world you made. the wheel of time turns and i will never forget you.

i went to the bookstore today to see if there was any word on rj's next offering.i'm deeply sadden'd to learn of his passing.i send my love to the family, losing a life force such as rj has surely left a void that is hard to fill.i will miss matt the most i think, to see him wield quarterstaff once again,yes that indeed would be something to see.much love charles

In the end, it matters not the day you were born or the day you passed on. No, what matters most is the way you lived between them. James lived his well, touched many lives, brought the gift of a good story to many, and to many more the love of reading. He will live on as only legends do, in the stories. Thank you for sharing him with us Harriet, and encouraging him as only a wife can do. God bless you and keep you.

I have just found this sad news! About 2 weeks before I found (in Poland) the fresh issue of recent part of WOT. I did not even know that RJ has passed.

I'm sad. With WOT, Robert Jordan gave me (and all of us) something special and fascinating, an important part of life. Thank You, Robert, thank You, Harriet. My condolences for the family.

Many things come

Just as many go

When time comes to pass

The memories last.

In our hearts

Memories stay

In our minds

Memories blossom

Memories fade

But even so

They remain

In our hears

I always re-read The WOT series when I am gearing up for Mr Jordans next masterpiece. I was carrying around "The Fires of Heaven" while waiting for a computer repair and one of the young technitions said,"I love Robert Jordan. Did you know he died?" I felt like someone had kicked me in the gut. I started spontaneously weeping-right in the middle of the Apple store. Right in front of this RJ fan who could not have been more than a toddler when the series first came out. This spectacularly crafted series has gotten me through incredibly painful periods in my life and I have purchased the series for my favorite family members. I love his characters. I feel like I know these people. My heart aches for his family. He helped me find a new appreciation for modesty, humility, responsibility and honor in a way that no one in contemporary media had before. Let us hope that the Wheel spins him out again soon, so that he will not too long be missed.

I really like WOT. Way back in 1996 I started reading it! And I was already thinking that the series would not end in the next couple of years. Praying deep inside that nothing happens to the author as i had already committed myself to reading this fantastic storyline!

Damn!

I have read them all! So sorry I did'nt know of his death. What an insperation to all of us who enjoys the concept of somthing more powerfull than ourselves. Love and GOD Bless to you'all from Knoxville, TN!

My condolences to Robert Jordan's family and friends, and all of us WOT fans. Robert Jordan's series was more than just a book series but a vivid part of my life as he revealed this story to me over the years. I'm saddenned by his death but I know his story will live on forever.

may god bless you and yours always , and may he enjoy Roberts company for all eternity
