Remembering Loved Ones

My grandmother recently passed away after a very long life, and I wanted to honor her by making one of her specialties - pecan pie. I was just curoius to know if anyone else out there has ever done something simliar, and if so, what did you make and what are the memories that prompted you to choose that dish?

For me, it was because she has had Alzheimer's for many years, and as she forgot more and more, she lost he ability to make foods from scratch, and turned more to boxed meals. But, I always remember that there was *always* a homemade pecan pie waiting for us when we came to visit. She never lost that until only a few years ago, when she moved into the nursing home. I don't actually care for it much myself, but it seemed appropriate, and I took it to work to share with everyone to celebrate her memory.
