Today we planted Jason's trees. Aunt Betty decided that we needed a sequoia because Jason was big and strong. So we have it also. Myk, Elizabeth and Dave dug the holes early in the afternoon. Then Aunt Betty, Uncle Les, Uncle Norman, Gayle and Bill, and my mom came over and helped supervise the planting of the the trees. Then we bbqed hot dogs and visited. It was a good day. And I'm sure Aunt Betty is happy that I didn't post the picture of her stuck on the fence as she was climbing over it. 
Sorry to hear of your family's loss. It's a beautiful gesture of rebirth and growth planting something in memorial. My husbands grandfather passed away and we planted a white bleeding heart in his memory. When his wife passed 3 years earlier we planted a pink one... They were very hardy gardeners, so it suited them. Seems this sequoia tree fits your loved one too.
