I am buying her dresser, chest, and bed frame set ($100, they need help paying for the funeral, but it's well worth it to me, as it's an excellent set in terrific condition). LR is also giving me some jewelry that she bought for her grandma, and I'm honored.
I worked last night and thought about how I just can't believe she is gone. This is something we always expected to happen, as she was just shy of her 88th birthday, but this wasn't how she wanted to go.
I have no regrets though. I said my goodbyes to her and prayed for her last week. I told her I'll never forget her and that I was thankful to her for allowing me into her life even if for such a short time. She was a special lady.
Here is a pic taken at LR's house at Christmastime. It was taken with LR's cellphone, so it's not a quality pic.

She looks like a very nice and special lady, HO! I know you will miss her. I will continue to pray for you and LadyRev.
Glad you got the jewelry and the furniture. Nice things to remember her by! I'm also glad you got to pray with her!
