I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.
All you need do really is ask, and the Covered Entity needs to give you a copy. If you were the guardian at time of death, that guardianship survives.
The doctor is entitled to ask for that request in writing. Also, they are allowed to bill a "reasonable amount" to defray the cost of copying. That cost is not intended or allowed to prevent you from obtaining those records.

You would need the person's "identifying information" such as Social Security number, hospital/patient number, date(s) of service, etc. Even when researchers seek medical records for genealogical purposes, the "proof" of relationship and even a reason for the request must be submitted before the request is approved or denied. Call the administration or medical records department for their exact policies.
Can the parent of a child that died get medical records?
If the child was a minor and in the parent's custody at time of death, yes -- the parent is the de facto Personal Representative of the child. The exception to this is if a court has sealed these records, which would typically only happen in a criminal or Grand Jury investigation. If the child was an adult at the time of demise, the parent can petition the court to order release of the records, but there is no guarantee the court will do so, as patient privacy is intended to survive the patient.
