Dearest Robyn How sad I am having to write this - I have fabulous memories of our time working together and such appreciation and admiration with how you encouraged and inspired the team. We had many funny times including when Duncan and I 'borrowed' the fabulous Christmas tree from one of the other pods and put it proudly in the middle of the table in your office - how delighted you were! And how we never new the exact date of your birthday (until Isaac let it slip!) so PJ and I had a birthday week for you. Thank you for your friendship, the funny times, the memories, and sharing of your fabulous brain! I will miss you. Much love to you all Nessie xxx

Goodbye Robyn - May you rest in peace. Thank you for the love and support you gave me and our many wonderful conversations and meaningful short years together as colleagues. Your support during our time going through the recent change at the Ministry and in the recent months, I hope we were able to help each other emotionally. I am truly blessed to have known you. My sincerest sympathy goes to all the family on the sad passing of Robyn.

Thank you Robyn for the work you shared, example you set and the love and care you showed your colleagues and especially your team. I knew you just a little but the eulogies today speak exactly to the impressions you gave. The managerial traits and passion for people and doing the right thing clearly have long and strong roots in your whanau and friends. He mihi nui ki te whanau pani, moe mai moe mai Robyn i te kaupua pouri kei roto i te awhi o te Arikinui.
