So many years have gone by since Robyn and her darling husband Graeme welcomed me as a friend to the Otautau district when I married. Our children grew up knowing each other and enjoying each others company. Distance has kept us mostly apart but the friendship remains. Thinking of you Peter and your family, Dean and your boys, Gina and Shane and families.

Fond memories of Robyn and her beautiful singing voice at St Ninians Prsbyterian in Blenheim. Also just spending time with Robyn sharing life. I hope she got her book finished.
Condolences to Robyns family.

Thinking of you all at this sad time. I got quite a shock to read of Robyn's death in the paper. Have many happy memories when Deane was at St Andrews college and the rowing partner With Malcolm my son. There was much laughter and hilarity and shouting as we willed them onto win. And then in later life Robyn became a champion rower herself. She was always the life of the party. She has a wonderful family and was happy to welcome the new members into the family.......particularly the grandchildren.
with deepest sympathy thinking of you all as you remember Robyn with love
