I received some very sad news today. My friend, Denessa Smith passed through the veil this morning due to surgical complications. This loss will be felt through so many communities for many years to come. My heart goes out to her surviving family... her son John and her partner Annette.
Gods, I wish I could go home right now and be there for them.
In case you do not know... Denessa is the mother of Tempest Smith and founder of the
Tempest Smith Foundation, she is a leader in the
Order of the DeMoley, member of the
Federation of Circles & Solitaries, and advocate in both the Pagan and GLBT communities.
