It's funny, sometimes what you think is important is the least important. I started reading this series many years ago. I've read every book several times. When Mr. Rigney became ill, I realized my interest was far beyond a fictional set of books. He was very brave to share his illness with his many fans. His most valuable contribution is his bravery in the face of adversity. I treasure the posts from the past months. I have learned alot. Thank you Mr. Rigney. Thank you Harriet and Wilson. To all his fans, thank you for your posts on the blog. I'll raise a glass of grog tonight and think of a very special person and the very special people in his life.

I just became aware of Mr. Jordan's passing, and I am now touched by great sadness. Mr. Jordan's books have been faithful companions for many years. I remember when I bought the first three books in the series and read all three in no more than ten days during my vacations. Since then I have been avidly waiting for the next book.

I've read many comments, not here, but in different websites from many people who complained about not being to able to read the last book. I believe this people do not have a full appreciation for the work of Mr. Jordan. Those who have will miss him as a friend. He was a superb storyteller and, myself, I will miss him a lot, as he was such an important part of my life for a long time.

I also read that maybe the last book will be written, because of the lengthy notes he left. But I confess I am not concerned with that. I will keep on re-reading the books and looking forward to the occasion of meeting him, wherever we go from here, and hearing the end of the book from his own mouth in High Chant. Now, this would be a perfect ending for the series!

Rest in Peace, Robert Jordan! And thank you for the many moments of extremely pleasant reading.

While I never had the honor of meeting Mr. Jordan , I greatly admired him, and loved his works. He will be greatly missed.

Thank You, for everything!

What an adventure, to leave the pain of sickness behind, and continue on to the next life. New stories unfold from the Dragon's eyes even as we mourn his passing.

From all at the World of Warcraft Aman'Thul Server Guild, , our deepest sympathies to the family and loved ones of Robert Jordan.

Now and forever, Dovie'andi se Tovya Saigan!

He was a great author, and a great man. He was and is an inspiration for all of us, and he and his stories will be missed. Save a place around the campfire for the rest of us, RJ. We want to hear the rest of the story when we get there.

God bless you Jordan, and thanks for all the good times you've given me.

Deepest sympathy for everyone. WoT touched me and kept me from going crazy during undergrad back in 1991. Spend that many years reading, re-reading, waiting, reading some more, and I feel like a member of my life has passed. If I was touched only by reading his works, I can only imagine the impact James had on his friends and family. RIP.

A great man has gone. He will be missed. My deepest condolences to his wife and family.

Rest in peace, RJ. Thank you for all the great times we had reading your books.

It is true that Robert Jordan touched many people's lives. I know that he has effected mine. I am grieved to hear about his passing and I know that he is much missed.

My condolences to all of you.

"I see you" Robert Jordan...your eyes are "gooseberry" blue. In my mind's eye and in your writing I see you still.

My last comment didn't register here, possibly due to the volumne. So...

I'm sad. Robert Jordan's books have been part of my life since the first book came out, and I admired his indepth understanding of human nature and ability to tell a complex tale. Truly an inspiration who has influenced my own fiction. We'll miss you, Robert.

Thanks for the great story, you could take me to a world I've never been to and make it seem so real and vivid. Ive been reading for many many years. I believe you are one of the best story tellers there have ever been. I could not believe the news of your passing. My condolences to your family. R.I.P.

tai shar Jordan.

be well Harriet.

God's speed to your Mr. Jordan, you will be missed. My deepest heartfelt condolences to the family in this rough time.

There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.

Robert Jordan is a legend that will never fade to myth. We will miss you.

I was shocked, I simply sat here for about 15 minutes when I learned of this, I was sure he'd get over it. My prayers are with Harriet and the family, RJ has gone to a better place.

Wow. I'm very sad. I've been reading WoT since the first book was published. RJ passing is a great loss to the world.

Rest in Peace RJ.

Your series got me through so many hard times as I was growing and helped me to mature and understand alot of things about this life.

May you always find water and shade.

I have only now heard about this loss, our loss, today, but i felt compelled to write something. It was only by chance that I stumbled upon WoT, and i dont think that I've had better luck since. From his books I can tell that he truely was a man among men, and through his books, he had truely become a friend among friends. The world will miss Robert Jordan, and his family will miss James Oliver Rigney. My deepest sympathies.

The Great Spirit knows what it is doing. It only takes the best, at the best moment. It must have felt it needed a creative genius at this moment to help deal with a troubled world from on high.

Being human, I am saddened that we have lost such a brilliant, creative, deep spirit here on earth. Thank you, Mr. Jordan, for opening our hearts and minds to greater possibilities. You have, no doubt, gone to your richly deserved reward.

My heart is filled with prayers and thoughts for his family who have undoubtedly lost a great heart and soul. Thank you for sharing him with the rest of us, even as you knew he was slipping away with the effort.

I say will all the sincerity I have and the every part of my heart that I will miss him. Robert Jordan was a great and courages man and his talent for writing was unsurpassed. I will say that I send my deepest condolences to his family.

I am in shock. I was so certain of his recovery. My most sincerest condolences to his family. I feel like a writer and a work who has over time become part of me has gone. My heart is broken

A toast to you Robert Jordan!

I picked up EYE OF THE WORLD at the airport one day, intrigued by the storyline, and by the time the plane landed, I was hooked. Went out the next day and purchased all of the books out in Hardback (at the time, I think it was just after book 3 came out). I eagarly awaited each book, and have recommended Mr. Jordan to anybody and everybody who wanted a new Fantasy author. I have read the entire series three times completely thru, and may of the books 5 times. Both my sisters, my mother, my nephew, and at least two dozen friends and neighbors are all WoT fans now.

Robert Jordan will be missed. He brightened and filled so many days.

My condolences to family and close friends.
