Dr. Pournelle,
My prayers remain with you and Roberta in this dark hour. I walked through this valley on Easter Sunday this year as my wife of 46 years was felled by a stroke at church. Fortunately quick action by people with more presence of mind than me resulted in her receiving the TPA medicine within the first 2 hours. As of this point she has recovered 99%. Modern medicine is nothing short of a miracle and I pray for nothing less than full recovery for you both. God bless you.

Best wishes for both of you.

Dr. Pournelle,
I am so sorry to hear about Roberta. Please know that both of you are in my prayers.
Dear Dr. Pournelle,
So very sorry to hear of this added blow to you and Roberta. May God grant you peace and strength and grace as you and your family support Roberta. May He also uphold her with healing grace.
Our prayers are with you both. Life throws us curve balls but they can lead to home runs.
My husband and I loved and collected your books for years. I pray that your wife, Roberta, will get better. She’s seen you do better, so it offers hope to her as well. May God watch over you both.
Best wishes,
Sara Spurgin

I’m not too good at these sorts of things and I hope I don’t come across as cliché, but allow me to express my wishes for Roberta to have a speedy and successful recovery.
