She was my dearest friend. My confidant, my port in any storm. Always there with good advise and a laugh. So many happy memories. So many 2+ hour phone conversations. So much I will miss.
I worked closely with Robyn at Key Elementary School. We had a classroom of students with severe learning and behavioral disorders. Robyn loved those unruly kids and had amazing patience with children who behaved in unbecoming ways. She was a gift to the children and a huge help to myself and our staff. As an educator, Robyn used her God-given talents in service to others. I am grateful for her kind heart and skill as a teacher, and I will miss her.
Gene, we are so sorry to see this!! I know she was having health issues, but was doing better!! Love from Olean NY Bonnie Gardiner Buchanan
I so sorry
I so sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
Gene & Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy on Robyn’s passing. I always enjoyed seeing the two of you when you came for the ACS Reunions. May Robyn RIP.
