More info and pictures from RJ’s funeral

Since posting the report on Robert Jordan’s funeral, I’ve come across some more items I’d like to share with you. (With permission from RJ’s family of course).
First off, Tom Doherty and Wilson were kind enough to share the words they spoke at RJ’s funeral with us. Tom is the president of Tor Books (who published the Wheel of Time), and has been a friend of RJ’s for 30 years or more. Here’s what he said at the eulogy:
Tom Doherty’s Eulogy for James Oliver Rigney, Jr. (Robert Jordan)
“He came like the wind. Like the wind touched everything and like the wind was gone.”
Jim Rigney, Robert Jordan, friend, doer, dreamer, maker of dreams, one of the great storytellers of the 20th and I believe time will prove 21st century as well. His Wheel of Time is a towering epic of power and scope. After praising it extensively, the New York Times said of it:
“– the evil laced into forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised salvation, the scenes of unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events – bear the marks of American national experience during the last three decades -”
Truly Jim wrote for us all.
And Harriet, the love of his life, what a team, Harriet is the finest editor I’ve ever worked with. Working together they produced wonderful things. His first two books, Fallon Blood and Fallon Pride were published by her company, Popham Press as a joint venture with Ace where I was publisher and she had been Editorial Director. And then at Tor, another Fallon, Conan and the Wheel of Time. The Wheel, which has touched the lives of so many millions and down the generations will touch so many millions more.
Jim was a man of courage and heart and vision. He was my friend of 30 years. He’s gone ahead of us now. Beyond that last horizon to a place we cannot yet see. But I think he can see us and he’s glad we’re together and he’s already thinking of stories he’s going to tell Harriet and then the rest of us when we get there.
We miss you Jim. Thanks for all you’ve left behind.
Thank you, Tom, for sharing that with all of us."

Dear all,
Over a hundred people e-mailed condolences to the undertaker in Charleston. There is no way to respond on that site, and I just can’t do individual responses. I hope that those who wrote there also read the blog — thank you all for your very kind messages. I’ve read them all, and so has Will, and I’ve sent them on to Reynolds and Wilson.
The word now is ONWARD."
"I would just like to tell you how much I appreciated the books and how much I will miss looking forward to future releases. I read the first book while in the military in the early 90s. My life has taken several turns and twists since then. Even the world is a different place then it was when the first WOT novel was released. Yet through all of the change one thing that remained the same was the knowledge that eventually another of these excellent books would appear in the local book store. (When the first WOT novel was released there were still book stores around.)
The intimacy shared on this website during the last couple of years by the fans and RJ and his family was an exceptional thing. It was fine thing for RJ and family to share their ups and downs and experiences with a group of people they will never meet. Thank you for taking the time to do so."

Yeah, yeah, World Net Daily is a devout correct information media outlet. If you've got learn the object, in which is that eight spoke wheel now ( you realize, to make it reputable), additionally they made the equal declare approximately Noah's Ark as good. "Curiously, no person can account for the targeted whereabouts of that 8-spoked wheel at present, even though Hassan is on videotape mentioning his end concerning authenticity" Video taping it is authenticity isn't the equal, and just one declare it is authenticity isn't the equal as a number of folks to evaluate the proof, that one individual might be improper, and finally in which is the ONE unaccounted wheel? Someone will have to be competent to discover bones from the horses, the chariot's and wheels, let's examine; 500 horses 2per chariot = 250 chariot's with a view to same 500 wheels + guns and apparel and apparatus for the chariot to horse, I'm certain they are able to discover greater than only one wheel, the object is from 2003, and not anything new has got here ahead in view that then. Most likly it is a false.
