Establishing a Memorial Fund for Charitable purposes in memory of deceased loved one.

Question Details: I attempted to estable a charitable project to help families who want to talk to older drivers about driving safety after my boyfriend's son was killed by a 90 yr. old impaired driver. There was a divorce many years ago, very better between my boyfriend & the father and the deceased's mother. The estate is in escrow and the ex began having various family members complain about us "using her son's name" without permission in promotional materials. We did not think we needed permission to set up a memorial to honor his son...Did we do anything illegal? We removed all references on materials
