Blaise Ribet

I first met Blaise at city university, she was such a humorous young lady. I then met her again when we worked at ingres together and she hadn't changed.
I'm saddened by her short life but i know that she brought a lot of happiness to people around her. My prayers go to her family, she will be greatly missed.

Paris will always be such a fun time, so long ago but still so fresh, all of us in one studio, what a Christmas that was, Blaise organising us as ever, totally on the moment and such fun, Blaise was a truly unique and wonderful individual, whom I have not communicated with since the Early Eighties, and just did a search, and found out! Love and support to her family

Many of my fondest memories are of working at Ingres, and many of my fondest memories of working at Ingres were with Blaise. She will truly be missed. My best wishes to her family, and especially to Stewart.

Blaise was original, funny, kind, and courageous. Her warmth will stay with me.
My sympathy goes to her family and everyone who knew her well.

Ní fheicfimid a leithéid arís. I worked with Blaise in London and she was such a fun, happy person. She came to our wedding in Ireland after her liver transplant. I will always remember that she was related to Daniel O'Connell and perhaps that was why she had such an affinity with us. So sad

Blaise was a unique individual who was so respected and admired. She was fun to work with and had great technical skills that she was always willing to share with colleagues. I am honored to have known her.

Didn't get a chance to meet up with Blaise since school days - but remember her fondly. I remember her as very funny and quietly very clever. We used to laugh a lot - even in Physics lessons (which for me were a constant mystery, but for Blaise were a piece of cake!). My thoughts are with her husband and her family.

Blaise was a memorable colleague that always brought positive energy into the room. She will be missed.

So sorry to hear! Wish I had known what she was going through. What a warm and beautiful person she was! My memories of Blaise include her annual organization of the "Salvation Army Angels" program (matching families in need with donors), in which I was able to participate for a number of years, made easy through her efforts and generosity.

My thoughts are with Stewart and the family. So sorry for your loss...
