Thank You so much for the book you wrote and this website. I am still in the grieving process, my Husband and Soulmate passed on Feb 25, 2011. I miss him so much and your writing has helped me with this process. I hope to someday create a website for him as well. I have so much to say but can't write it all here. Thank You again.

Hello Robert I just finished reading the beautiful book you wrote about your unwanted dealings with the death of your beloved Jeri. I to am walking the death Virgin walk.I lost my Fiancee 11 months ago to a heart attack.He was here one minute,gone the next. I have seen alot of death in older patients,and i watched my Mother die as a 14 year girl in Ireland,but i knew nothing of death until I lost my first and only love. You are right, this loss is completely different from losing others in your World. I am also a recording artist in Nashville,but, trying to write a song about this heartbreak is just to over whelming for me.It always ends in tears and blackness feelings. I have given up on that for now,as the black feelings are not welcome. Brian and myself were trying to conceive our first child together.The night he died, we were laughing at the Irish name I wanted if it were a boy.Cuchulann was the name I spoke of.Brian laughed at that name.He stated he will have to check that on the internet more.An hour or so later I was des

After losing my own soulmate of 30+ years to a 15-month battle with colon cancer, a cousin recommended Robert's book. I really didn't believe that any man could love his wife like I loved my AnneMarie, but there are many parallels. We, too, worked together... first when she had to work from my engineering blueprints. For the past 16 years, we owned and operated one of the most popular craft beer bar/restaurants between NYC and Albany, NY. I have been overwhelmed by the tasks that I must now continue doing without her, and it is daunting. I have not yet finished the book, but will likely re-read it again immediately after completion, to better digest it. Perhaps I'll do it at her graveside. Thank you for writing the book, Robert. I'm sure that my pain will ease, and I'll gather strength from your candor. God bless our wonderful wives...

While vacationing from CA summers 05-07 met Jeri surfing at Canoes. Couldn't help to notice her prowess as an acomplished surfer as well as her full-length UV suit. Great memories of those summers will include Jeri. Glad to see some reference to her on the web. So sorry of her passing. Mike

So sorry to find out about Jeri's passing. After many years of being out of touch, I was looking for Jeri to get her latest recommendations on Greek Islands - places she loved to visit and report on with her wonderful energy and passion. My brief time interacting with her while I was at Sun Micro (OMG) and she at Tandem, left a lasting impression. Reading the news now, I feel a tangible loss. My best wishes to Robert.

Jeri was a wonderful person and it's sad that her time here wasn't longer. But she certainly did manage to do more than most people do in two lives. I had the pleasure to work for her in the 1990s and she was one of the finest managers I've ever worked for. Not only whip smart, but fun, funny and graceful. I'll think of her the next time I'm out in the Pacific.

Robert, I've just put the book dow, half way through and wanted to thank you for sharing your beautiful wife with the world. I realized I wanted your book to have a happy ending, as if her death had been a dream and then I realized the "happy ending" was there in every memory you had of her. Be well and be safe.

I first met Jeri in 1981 when we had a Halloween party at the house my wife and I had just moved into. Bob's girlfriend came dressed as a belly dancer - little did I know. She knocked the socks off everyone present. Like the green long persistence phosphor computer screens of the time, over the next decade, friends kept asking when we'd have another party like one where Jeri danced. Since that time we got to know her and find she was also a wonderful person. She will live on in our memories.

Chris & I were so sorry to hear of Jeri's passing. We have wonderful memories of our time with you both in Hawaii. Jeri's spirit was tremendous and she clearly loved being with Robert in Hawaii. She was also a fantastic person to work with and I am proud to have worked alongside her. She was a fabulous lady. We send you our love Robert.

What a wonderful tribute to Jeri. It was truly a pleasure getting to know Jeri and Robert, if only for a brief time. I'll never forget those truffels and espresso on the lanai....

Beautiful website Robert - what a great tribute to an amazing woman. Jeri has long been an inspiration to me - first as an executive and mentor but even more so later on, through her words of wisdom and insight about life and what is important. She will be greatly missed.

I'm so grateful to be able to remember Jeri through this beautiful web site. I worked with her at Tandem and always enjoyed her boundless energy, optimism, and courage. All those traits were clearly in evidence during her struggle with cancer. Thank you, too, for sharing the moving surfer funeral. My sympathies to all who loved and cherished her in those last years. -alan

Robert, Thanks for putting up this site. I never knew Jeri had moved to Hawaii and was fighting cancer. I worked closely with her during the Client/Server days at Tandem and will cherish the signed copy of her book on Client/Server in my library that she penned with you and Dan.

Robert, Thank you for sharing this beautifully-done site/memorial for Jeri. I knew Jeri in the mid-80s at Tandem. I too have lost a spouse to cancer (Sue Graham Watson), also a friend of Jeri's in those days. It is hard, and I understand how you feel. You and Jeri clearly had a wonderful life, and I now wish you peace and hope as you move forward from this tremendous loss. Best regards to you and Family. Dan

Jeri radiated positive energy and warmth. She was a great creator, contributor, teacher and motivator. One of our bright lights flashed away. My condolences to Magdi Orfali. You were a great couple. --Tim McSweeney
