For the wife, a gift card from the BigOrangeHomeImprovement Store (hey, that's what she asked for, she wants to live in the garden shop). For my mother, a brief visit to the gravesite, where we left fresh cut peonies & iris... from plants originally set out by my father & mother, so I felt they were doubly honored.
