    An amazingly detailed tribute, you'd have to think this was taken from a journal, in which case it's impressive to keep such a record of their life, or maybe Stephen just has a fantastic memory.

    Even through that detail you can really feel how much he loved and admired her.

    > Somehow in the shock of what has happened it feels as if I just met Elise, and now she is gone.

    Time's cruelty is making the wonderful feel shorter than the painful.

    > My only solace in this tragedy is that the end came instantly, after a day filled with nothing but joy.

    Hopefully we're all lucky enough to be allowed to rest without suffering and surrounded by our loved ones.

      Stephen has been documenting his life for decades now. He talks about his system here: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2019/02/seeking-the-prod...

        A read a story of a guy who bumped into him at conference and had some sort of conversation. The following week he received a follow from Wolfram's office with his assigned conversation number. The number was to be used for all follow-ups.

          I remember reading about a personal CRM project called Monica years ago. Does anyone here still use it? Is there an actively maintained alternative?

    A very beautiful tribute to her life and memory. My condolences go out to her family.

    It's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all, but, god damn does it still hurt to move through that loss. I'm glad it was fast and painless for her and her family.

    This is a moving tribute. Stephen Wolfram's writing often has certain faults, which I mention only to be able to say that he has here transcended them; this is a genuine and heartfelt piece of writing which makes me feel sad for his loss.

    It's a profound thing to lose someone that intertwined in your life. I should know.

    Sorry for his loss, and for everybody helped by her in any way. However ineffective a comment like this is

    That's neat that she designed their house. When I've seen videos of Wolfram in his house I've always thought it looked an awesome high-class place.

    Beautiful tribute. Perhaps a reminder to self to write my own version prior to our passing. Such misfortune to be taken so young.
