What can I do for my uncle?

My uncle is in the hospital with heart failure %26amp; many other health problems. His chances of survival are not good and he (as well as our family) is aware that his days may be numbered. He's called an attorney into his hospital room to update his will so he is realistic about his odds. He is 9 hours away so I cannot get to see him quickly. However, I want to do something nice for him and his wife. I am already sending him a "thinking of you/praying for you card" but want to do something more. It's just difficult to think of anything. Since he is in a hospital, he's on a strict diet, so I can't send a food basket or any other kind of edible treat. He's a very "man's man" so he would not appreciate flowers or balloons. I'm just stumped as to what I can do to let them know I care without making them feel like I'm trying to say "goodbye. I don't think you're going to make it". Any suggestions would be appreciated.
What can I do for my uncle?
Do you have any fond memories of him you can write down, maybe some photos of you together. Are you artistic at all, you could make him so,mething that his wife could cherish after he is gone; photo collage, poem, painting, drawing? Gifts from the heart mean the most.
Reply:Make a home video telling him how much you love him along with a care package. I'm sure he will appreciate the thought.
Reply:make a donation, in his name, to the heart association or perhaps to the hospital (infant wing) itself,,,any amount would benefit some one in his honor
