Hi
My name is Stacey. I hate to be the bearer 0of bad news, but your beloved Rath (Nick) passed away on wednesday night at 9:50pm.
I understand that he updated earlier that day, a very depressing note to his supporters indeed.
He is going to be cremated (All expenses payed by myself) and lay to rest in our town cemetary.
I want all of you to know that he died in peace and with a smile on his face. He died holding my hand, and he whispered two poems:

In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed-
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted.

Ah! what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past?

That holy dream- that holy dream,
While all the world were chiding,
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam
A lonely spirit guiding.

What though that light, thro' storm and night,
So trembled from afar-
What could there be more purely bright
In Truth's day-star?

The second was to a girl, he didn't specify who:

Thou wouldst be loved?- then let thy heart
From its present pathway part not!
Being everything which now thou art,
Be nothing which thou art not.
So with the world thy gentle ways,
Thy grace, thy more than beauty,
Shall be an endless theme of praise,
And love- a simple duty

He died thinking of this girl: a smile on his face. Though in pain, he was happy. I apreciate you all reading this, and I'm sure he would like it too.
Byee everyone.
