I love the idea of giving things away while you're still alive. After my stepfather died I encouraged my mother to let go of it all. "It's just stuff," I would say to her. Now she's given away her kingdom, and getting to witness the people she loves loving the things she cherished. That's happiness.
Final thought, "Running on luck!" is a great title for a memoir, and I loved reading that line. Your mother seemed so vivacious.
