I'm sorry for your friend's loss.

The second is an anthurium, last picture is helix ivy. I just don't know about the first one, I want to say rhododendron, but not sure.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss. The first one looks like it might be an azalea. They do not grow well here in Texas and are usually sold as a throw-away plant.

I'm so sorry. Losing anyone is sad, but my brother said that losing his son & grandson in a car crash nearly broke him into pieces.

Bless you for caring, & elp your friend as much as you can.

Azaleas do grow in the acid soils of East Texas, & there are now some varieties that do well in our alkaline soil (& alkaline water) near Dallas.
