Your deceased husband's estate is responsible for his credit card debts. However, if you personally made any of those charges as an authorized user of this card, you should pay them (in my opinion).

Mr. Hendrickson's answer may be his moral opinion, but legally even the charges you made are not your responsibility. You signed as his agent, so the liability is with his estate and not you.
