Not sure what to say?

I just read of Robyn´s passing today, as I was searching for Sister sailors from Bootcamp. My condolences to the Family. We had a great time in Bootcamp together. Fair Winds and Following Seas, Robyn.

My deepest condolences to Chief Strayer's family. Robyn was my first Chief when I was stationed at NSGA Misawa Japan in 1990. She was the best Chief anyone Sailor could ask for. She always focused on our training and well-being. Kept us motivated and had the highest standards of professionalism and conduct and would accept nothing less from us. She was definitely a role model and mentor and the world was a better place because she was in it making a difference. When I was pinned to...

I miss you Robyn. I think of you often as I am finishing up my bachelors degree and all your words of wisdom. I pray for your family this holiday season, as it will be the first one without you there. I hope we are all making you proud. I love you and God bless you. God bless your family.

Thinking of you and your family during the holiday season.

I only just found out about Chief Strayer's passing and am very saddened. Although I never knew her when I was enlisted, she was assigned to my division (N36 at NTTC Pensacola) in 2000. She was prone to speak her mind, but I always felt confident in her judgment and there was never a time she was not concerned for the troops.

During the Holiday Season [Thanksgiving] thats when we really miss our loved ones. A "special prayer" today for Robyn's family for strength during these difficult times!!

God Robyn, It is so ironic that you have left us so sad by your early departure, because you ALWAYS left us so happy in life. That quirky and straight-shooting sense of humor was truly one in a million and will be so sorely missed. You will always be remembered, and you will always be loved.

I just read the cryptolog today. This was a total shock. My condolences and prayers to all of you. Robyn and I worked closely together at Ft. Meade. She was absolutely one of the greatest. She will be greatly missed. Fair Winds and Following Seas Chief! What ever else you became, you were a Chief, first, last and always.

Robyn,
I just found out today and I am deeply saddened, You wrote me several emails after my surgery and made me smile and laugh many times when times were tough for me. I will miss your wit and great outlook.

My condolences and prayers go out to the Strayer family in their loss.

Fair Winds and Following Seas Sister Strayer.
