Abide With Me
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me. Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free. Come not to sojourn, but abide with me. Come not in terrors, as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea. Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me. Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee. On to the close, O Lord, abide with me. I need Thy presence every passing hour. What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

I just got this message from ozaukeemom [aka Helen] to clarify mylife's memorial service:
>>>>Hi; So, the service will be the 17th not the 18th of December. Sorry. Also, they have posted HIS OBITUARY
Helen<<<<
If there is anyone who can or wants to go, the details are in the obit. Also there might be a place to leave a message or send flowers or as he requests, donations to the VFW, etc.

Thank you, luvie.
I won’t be able to represent Texas FReepers at the memorial, so a gift in Rodney’s name is on its way to the VFW.

What a lovely thing to do. I’m sure he’d heartily approve! His visits to the VFW were a big part of his life in Greenville.

I had not realized that my was so much younger than me.

He became so ill that he seemed older than he was. Sadly. Plus, he was prematurely gray.

I believe I’ll do the same.
R.I.P., Rodney.

It is a lovely way to honor him...especially if you can give it to the Post in Greenville, where he hung out almost daily. They might not even know that he is gone from us. :( RIP, Rod! 💔

I will probably need to email the VFW post to verify this info, but it was correct as from the VFW post 4011 IRS form 990 from 2020.
Gifts in the name of (mylife) may be sent to:
VFW Post 4011
PO Box 9032
Greenville TX 75404-9032
These gift are not tax deductible but will be greatly appreciated by the veterans that enjoy the post. There is also an auxiliary to the post, that has a private FB page:
AUXILIARY to VFW POST 4011
Their website sends back to one of the bigger Texas VFW sites:
WELCOME TO VFW TEXAS DISTRICT 1
This VFW post does a lot of community outreach and fundraising for veterans and their families. It does seem like a good post.
I haven't attended many of the VFW's in my area but used to frequent my father's VFW post. If anyone is more familiar with VFW's in the Greenville area, please feel free to add to our discussion.

Thanks for this information! Rod spent a lot of time at that VFW post and he talked about how they fed people....and that the food was very yummy. He ate many meals there which was a good thing, because then we knew he was not going hungry when he didn’t feel like fixing for himself.
Ping list...see post #174 for the information that texas booster has for us.

Thank you for the links!
I looked at the VFW site last night. I found the Greenville location and I found the “Donate” button, but I think that was for the VFW in general.
I might call them Monday morning and ask if there’s away I can electronically make a donation specifically to the Greenville location in Rodney’s name. Otherwise, I will send a check (I have a few somewhere…LOL) via the snail mail address you provided.

If you find a link where to donate directly to that post, could you post it here? :) That’s the way I’d like to send it, too, if we can mark it “for Rod” on the donation. Otherwise, I’ll have to dig out my checkbook, too. LOL!

mylife was a really great guy. I learned a lot from him on those gun talk threads. He will be missed and this old world will be worse off without him. RIP friend, you earned it.
