I'm very sorry the loss of your mother, Joe.

Wow, what a long and interesting life! How amazing to have witnessed the changes in the world and our culture since 1908. Not to mention technology!

I looked up 1908 and found some interesting things-

William Howard Taft was elected president after Theodore Roosevelt declined a third term.

Of course, the Cubs won their second consecutive (and last, for a long time ) World Series.

Births that year included Lionel Hampton, Stephane Grappelli, Olivier Messiaen, Tex Avery, Mel Blanc, Louis L'Amour, Buddy Ebsen and Oskar Schindler.

What a blessing to have had her around all this time. Again, my condolences to you and your family.
