But you have found the best way to deal with them -- Doing something in their name which would be in character with their personality.
[Just a few days ago, I had a drink in memory of a great-uncle to whom I was close. How was that in character with him? He was the assistant manager of a liquor store! He definitely would appreciate it.
And, as a more practical gesture, I also made a donation in his name to an orphan home.]
If we make their memory for a blessing, then their memory will be for a blessing.
