Read MoreJude,
I am another who read your books and was wanted to know more about you so I browsed the internet. Please accept my sincere condolences. I lost a beautiful little boy, so I am well aware that, while it gets better, the pain of loss never goes completely away. Thank you for all of the hard work you have done on your novels that have brought so much pleasure to so many. You are in our prayers.

I'm reading The Summerhouse and because I like it, I went looking online to learn about Jude Devereaux. There are no words I can find for comforting this sadness, even all these years late; but you are in my thoughts and so is your son tonight.

Dear Jude,
I just read that your son Sam passed away several years ago. I lost my son in a car accident in 2003 so I understand how you feel. My son was much older than your Sam... I am so very sorry for your loss and my heart goes out to you.
BTW - I love your books.

I was so saddened to hear about the loss of your son, Sam. I hope God has given you and your family peace. We don't know why, but we will someday. I have a Samuel Alexander (my grandson), who is now 12 and I cannot even imagine______
I have been an avid reader of yours for years and recently have been loaning my books to others to enjoy. Keep up the entertaining and clean books. God bless you and yours

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have been a fan of yours from the start of your career and loved to feel your love and enthusiasm for your son, Sam. Having suffered several losses of my own in recent years - including the unexpected passing of a much-loved 45 y/o brother - I have not surfed the net for news on my favorite authors until now. And Sam was the one I was so eager to meet - knowing you were an avid photographer of him. My heart is out to you. There are no words to suffice....

I have been a fan of your for several years, and just completed the Forever Series again for the second time. I would love if you could somday think about adding another book to that series and maybe putting a glorius adventure along with Adam and Darcie's reunion and their "happily ever after"!!!!
I was so wrapped up into your books that I decided to google you, and that is when I discovered the news about your son. I have a child that is 8, and I admire your strength to continue, as it...

12 years ago I discovered Jude Gilliams books. Over the years I have managed to get my hands on 28 of her books, and each one has brought me days of intense happiness (yes, I always finish them within days), followed by weeks of thinking about the book I just read. That this wonderful writer, who gives her characters such warm hearts and charming traits, has experiences such a tragedy, breaks my heart. I wonder if she knows how many readers around the world are giving their thoughts to her in...
