This is Brandon writing.

I am heartbroken to write that a matchless, beautiful spirit and determined colleague working for social justice has been murdered. According to The Columbian,

"A couple found dead Wednesday evening in a Vancouver house died in a murder-suicide, according to the Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office. Cheryl L. Honey, 57, was killed by a gunshot wound to the chest and left arm; Robert G. Hedgers, 51, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest, according to results of autopsies performed by Clark County Medical Examiner, Dr. Dennis Wickham."

This is also to let the young people whom she loved dearly, Addie Sims, Emma Rose Sims, Nate Kangur, and Kristin Kangur, that they are held in prayer and supported, and that they may call out when they are in need and be heard, just like Cheryl listened to so many over her years of dedicated service.

I co-facilitated with Cheryl on several occasions, managed the Caring and Sharing group with her during the first Nexus for Change conference at Bowling Green U, and we got together when she came through the SF Bay Area. I will miss Skype and phone conversations with her, and most of all the tender warmth of her stories, her heart, and her innate and overflowing capacity to care deeply for and about everyone she touched.
