Hi Sarah I am another of the Sydney Water colleagues who was lucky enough to work with Robyn. I briefly met you last week and just wanted to say how proud your mum would have been of both you and Carly last week and the great job you both did. Your mum was such a lovely person always warm, friendly, smiling and willing to help. We worked together in the same team under Pam Derik for a short time before moving to Parramatta. It was my privilege to work with such a lovely person.

Robyn is a loss to us all. Thank you for such a moving and inclusive ceremony - no one was left out (as she would leave no one out). Robyn breathed in air and breathed out sunshine. She was a sunshine factory ! Thinking of you all.

Robyn was the sweetest & brightest girl in our Class of 1971 at Chatswood High School. Always happy, with a perpetual smile, I wished I had been able to see more of her after school finished. Her family & friends should always be so happy that Robyn was part of their lives.
