Passing of Jan’s Sister


Rock and Jan sent through a note to announce the passing of Jan’s sister Robyn, aged 52, on Good Friday morning after a 13 year battle with cancer. Many of the older generation Roffs would remember Robyn from occasional family get togethers and visits. She was much loved by the Geraldton Roffs for her crazy nature and showering of gifts on the children and although we haven’t seen her for a while she will be greatly missed. The funeral will likely be in Dubbo in the next week. Jan herself is understandably sad but with her own health issues will not make it back. We will probably find a nice quiet church in Perth to reflect on Robyn’s life.

Sad news indeed. I remember seeing Robyn when Naomi and Tom got married and she looked well, despite already wrestling with the disease. I'll keep her in my thoughts, Jan.

That is very sad. You are in our thoughts and prayers here.

Our thoughts are also with you, Jan. That is far too young to be taken like that.
