Our thoughts and prayers go out to Robyn's family. She was one extraordinary person. She always had a smile and a cheery hello no matter what. She will be missed on so many levels, but to us, she was a friend and our trusted accountant. May God ease your sorrow and guide you through this time of need.

Oh, how we will miss her. Her wonderful smile, that minute she'd always stop what she was doing to say "hi" either in the office or out and about in Juneau. My prayers go out to her family and friends. Heaven just received an angel. I will truly miss you Robyn.

She was such a nice person ~ no matter when we stopped by, she was always cheerful and helpful. Our condolences to her family and coworkers. She got her angel wings way too early. Robyn, you will be missed not only by those who knew you well, but everyone whose life you touched.
