[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly, my mom was put on hospice care today in the hospital. While the last few days were very hard, the previous years have been fun, supportive, wonderful — and we are very close and spent a lot of time together. Esp wonderful is the relationship she had with my young daughter.

My parents unfortunately had some financial issues later in life after living a good, nice, comfortable life for all of their 50 plus years together. After my dad died we uncovered unknown debts that really hurt my moms financial situation.

She had said many times her goal was to leave money for her only grandchild for college which she won’t be able to do. She was embarrassed and very disappointed about this when we discussed it esp because they were so generous with my sister and I growing up. They paid for our college which gave us both the lifelong gift of being debt free after graduation.

My mom really didn’t have much of an affiliation with a specific charity or church, etc. In preparing her obituary the funeral home recommended listing a charity that her loved ones may like to donate to in her name. Is it in bad taste to request any donations go to our children for their college education?  How could we go about that tastefully and is there something that could to be set up (account)?[/quote]
