He was set to get rid of things like her huge Lane cedar chest, several antique tables and the coffee table made for Mom by a neighbor of her parents. It was a gift to her and the top is parquet with wood inlay. She treasured this but to him it "was of no value" - meaning $$$$$.

I'm glad you were able to keep the things that your mom treasured.
