Dorothy Mengering, better known as David Lettermans mother, died on Tuesday, April 11 at the age of 95 ... late night TV fans like myself grew to love her unassuming style which she showed on her many appearances from Parents Night in 1986 to Winter Olympics reporting in Nagano, Lillyhammer and Salt Lake City, interviews with Nancy Kerrigan and Hillary Clinton and her holiday baking segments ...

Having observed the palpable love Dave had for his mother, it is an extremely sad time for him, compounded by the fact that today (April 12) is his 70th birthday ...

Heartfelt good wishes to Dave, his two sisters and their families ...
