thanks you guys 
Well, I never really knew her that well until I was in my teen years. She was more of a tough old bird then a sweet old lady lol. She had lived with her sister who had also died of lung cancer a few years back (both of them pretty much smoked their entire lives) my mom visited her many months ago when she wasn't far gone and they talked and stuff because my mom wanted to know more about her. Apparently she was a dancer and wanted to open her own studio when she was young. But well, then my mom happened, and in those times if she was having a baby then she better be married to the baby-daddy. (my grandpa) they really don't like each other and they did divorce back in the 70's, and yet they managed to have 6 kids together (including my mom who is the oldest). I remember my mom was starting to cry because she was talking about a recent phone conversation she had with her and my mom said to her that in a way it was great for her to "have so many children who love her so much" even though in the end having children prevented her of really living her dream, to which she responded "yeah, I must have done something right."
anyways, once she passes I'm going down to Georgia for the funeral and such anyways, gathering the seeds from the tree is a good idea even though I'm not sure what to look for. And I'm not sure if the tree could survive in this climate because I thought it was a warm-weather tree. But then again, they are in Canada (north of here) and Manhattan (south of here) and are doing just fine so I think it' be ok.
