We thought the equipment back to its rightful owners

After my husband passed, we called the homecare who called the company whom we had gotten the hospital bed from plus the mattress to pick them up. We then notified the company who loaned us the wheelchair to pick it up and that was done so. Our van was in the shop getting ready to be sold since I do not drive and it was a handicapped van and some handicapped person could use it. So they came over and picked it up. We still had the bed pads, etc. and medicines and we did return the medicines but the pallatative nurse who would have come for the bed pads was on holidays and so he would pick them up when he returned. Now in the two above cases, we did get a form that I had to sign plus a copy for my records. A few days later after this, after we told the Als society and Deerlodge of my husband's death and I am sure that the funeral director sent them the death certificate, a couple of men with a claiming to be from Als or Deerlodge, said they were there to pick up some equipment. We said (my nurse friend and I) that there was the communication device and they could take along the commode chair since it came from the same place and assumed they would give it to the Als Society or Deerlodge would since they were in the same building. But I got a phone call a couple of days ago that they did not receive any of the items. My friends say that I would not have to pay but one of the Als people figured that I should have been more observant, take the licenses, etc. got ids, etc. but when your husband dies, you do not think of those things. Anyway I have not been getting that much sleep for worrying, and thinking that maybe someone heard me talking and since my friend sort of interrupts before the conversation is over, got the idea that those items were to be donated. I never gave anyone that idea and we did have the funeral notice in the paper and my husband was well known. So if someone felt I was donating the stuff when I was not or someone pretended to be from Deerlodge or the Als society, would I be obligated to pay for the items?
