Dear Robin's Family,
Robin and I worked together at the Steamship Authority. We had so many good laughs together. I enjoyed working with her. She shared so much of her computer knowledge with me which I appreciated so much. I missed her when she left the Island but she kept in touch including recently. She will be missed by many.
