Have you ever donated in someone’s name?

Some of you might remember my 35 year old cousin died a few weeks ago. I know people send plants, flowers, and often the family leaves a charity for donations to be made in lieu of flowers. I can’t afford flowers, so if they did not indicate where to donate, I find a charity that is associated with something to do with them, and donate in their name. My cousin played the guitar so I found a charity called Guitars 4 Vets that donate music lessons and guitars to vets with PTSD. I also donated to a music foundation he had a heart for, one where varied musician Leon Russell used to record. I didn’t know who that was, but maybe @FourWalls does. I had to look him up. Do you guys ever do that? I like the thought that someone will see his name, and know he existed, even if they never think of him again. And this may be silly, but every time a dog of mine passes away, I make a donation to an animal charity in their name. Just to pass on a little of the love they gave.
