View submission: A weird call about my dead mom
Sounds like she impressed someone with her expertise and they want to honor her memory. These sorts of things are often nonpartisan. It's is usually a statement read at a official meeting that goes: Whereas OP's mother was an attorney specializing in healthcare privacy... They list her accomplishments and notable facts of her life. It becomes part of public record and is considered an honor.
If they are not asking for you to pay for anything, it is likely that one of her old classmates, colleagues, or clients noted that she'd passed and just wanted to honor her. I'd get the number from your brother, call back, and ask more questions.

The thing is, and I don't mean to disparage her, there would be nothing to talk about in that regard. And certainly not in Illinois. Like I said, she got involved in a cult who stopped talking to her when she ran out of money. That didn't leave her a lot of time to contribute to society.
