Along the same line --
My dd and dh both know that when I die, my daughter gets 1st pick of everything I have in my sewing room. If she doesn't want the machines, they are to sell them, offering them first to my sewing friends. As for my stash, they are to have a party, complete with champagne, for all my sewing friends. Everyone is to pick out anything and everything they want. No limit.
We did the above for a dear sewing friend who passed a few years back. Her daughters let us have anything we wanted and they requested that we donate to their charity. But I don't want anyone to feel they have to "pay" for anything -- everything will be FREE!

I would make him a quilt of some of her recent things and perhaps invite him over to dinner with your family.
I always think that during the week a love one dies, everyone is there or nearby...it is necessary to think of the weeks to come or even months that someone who has lost someone needs a cup of coffee or meal from a friend.
