Brenda Henson has left us

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.

Sean Mac rang to tell me the news last night, I didn't sleep a wink. I can't even describe how sad this is, I pray that you all get thru, you are the finest group of wimmin I have ever met.

When people ask me who my hereos are I always say, Wanda and Brenda. Your two weeks in Ireland with us were far too short..

Love to you all, it is so sad that such a bright 'bub' has gone out on us...

I have lost a true friend and confidant. My sister's wife of 24 years has passed. A light went out on Feb. 8th. There will be fewer smiles in my life due to the lack of her endless emails that lifted me up daily. Wanda, baby sis is here for you. I love you.

Brenda will always remain a guiding influence in our life. We are deeply indebted to Chris Carville for insisting that the Union of Students at University of Ulster Jordanstown Campus should host a visit to Ireland by the Sisters. Brenda and Wanda touched many hearts in Ireland. Bye for awhile Brenda.

I just now learned of Brenda's passing. I only knew her by extension through Shirley talking about the Camp as it was being built (Shirley was my boss at OPH). Even so, I know she was much loved and vital to the work and community. I extend my belated condolences on her passing.

Thanks for all the postings. Brenda survived colon cancer for 4 years. For prevention of colon cancer make sure you get a colonoscopy at age 50 unless you have a family history of colon cancer, then the recommendation is 15 years earlier.
