Ten minutes shy of Midnight on Febrauary 8th, 2008, Brenda Henson left us in the arms of the Goddess. Brenda had struggled with liver cancer and ultimately succumbed to liver and kidney failure. She died at home with her partner of 24 years, Wanda Henson, her older sister Barbara and her children, Andie and Robin Gibbs. Terese Valenti, Ayla Heartsong and Shirley Kirkconnell were also present.

Brenda will be missed and known for her ever present spark of fight and light that opened up passegways for GLBT people worldwide. She will be missed OHHHH so much.
