You obviously did something memorable for her, whether you know what that was or not.
My daughter received the quilting books and fabrics from a coworker when her mother passed because my daughter had made the coworker a quilt the year before. the mother sewed and decided "I could do that" with quilting. neither the coworker or her sister sewed. My daughter was just there for this coworker when things were not going well in her life.
You did good for someone. Be proud.:)
