Dear Ian and your family
We are thinking about you. We are sad Robyn got sick but are glad she was not sick for long.
When I met Robyn I told Dad she reminded me of Mum. I felt her warmth, care and genuine interest in others. Keep shining your lights out in the world for her.
Love Bruce's daughter Jill, Eelke & Luke xx

Dear Ian, Brenton, Matthew and families, my heartfelt love and sympathy go out to you all, and to all who loved Robyn. She truly was an amazing person, and the support and love she was always willing to give was extraordinary. I have known Robyn since she met Ian and their union was one made in heaven.

Many fond memories of Robyn as a friend and a school classmate, at Geraldine High School.

Robyn was a very good netball player and captained the Senior B netball team in 1967. The B team was undefeated that year.

At the end of year prize giving, Robyn was awarded the Senior Mistress 's prize for Diligence and Reliability.

Hold tight to all those very special memories of a gorgeous "Bubbles Girl" taken from us far to quickly.

Our sincerest sympathy to Ian, Brenton, Matthew, and all your family.
