    Where is "east, usa"? How close to a natural area with native plants does your mother live or is it strictly an urbanized area?

    I'm sure it is not Sassafras. Sassafras has lobed but not serrated margins. It may not even be from a tree. Need to find more leaves like it, and photograph a branch with several leaves on it.

    Possibly a Hawthorn (Crataegus) of some sort, but hard to tell without an indication of scale. How large is the leaf? Crataegus leaves are typically 3-5cm long.
