I first met Robbie when we were both going through Ministerial Recognition in 2016, a stressful time which Robbie made so much more bearable with his humour, energy and grace.  It was with joy that I found out we would be studying together at SWBC, times where we could continue in friendship and enjoy growing in faith.  I remember especially times we travelled together, to Birmingham for a BMS day and off to Hay whilst on retreat.  They were times of laughter, blessing and friendship which will live with me.  I had hoped to grow our friendship over the years, to minister alongside one another, to share, to hope and to build together but it was not to be.  May God bless and keep Helen and the family as they walk these dark times of grief.  May the light of Christ shine through and may the peace of God carry them as they mourn.
