Nancy Glades posted to Rain Rien's profile ON FACEBOOK:

"My loving partner, Rain Rien, is in hospice care at home in his struggle with colon cancer which was diagnosed January. He's done the whole thing - surgeries for colosotmy (2), chemo (various kinds), radiation (32 sess, and is now on palliative care. Comfortable. Confused, often. Enjoying his life as it is. I will be sure he gets to read or hear any messages or art you might send his way - he isn't doing much on the computer any more though he does draw and write quite a lot still. Thanks in advance for your care and concern, and prayers."

Rain rien is one of our dear IUOMA members, and a mail-art friend I have known for decades. So the news is tough.......

Comment by Ruud Janssen on October 26, 2013 at 6:07am: From Rain's partner:
Rain Rodgers (Rain Rien) has completed his journey on earth now... he left about 11:30 this morning. He had a peaceful night, after such a long struggle with colon cancer. I miss him so much already.
I know many people have been touched by his big heart, wild creativity, and generous spirit. I am happy that he is at peace now.

"Step up to the Silver Microphone."
