“Letters from Mom”
Mom wrote me hundreds of letters and would often send me greeting cards with snipped comics or articles from newspapers or magazines she thought I'd enjoy.
It’s funny the things you remember sometimes. Mom was a huge fan of Looney Tunes, especially Daffy Duck and the Tasmanian Devil. They really cracked her up and I loved that about her.
In the Spring of ’01 she sent me a greeting card with Taz on the front screaming, “MMFBURRUMP-PHUMMGGLLUBB!” and inside printed, “That’s “Taz” for congratulations!” and the following note. She must have enclosed some political cartoons and photos, but those were long ago lost or shuffled into other piles of paper. Shia Khan was her beloved cat that I couldn’t stand.

David,Technically, I’m not congratulating you for anything. I just wanted to send you these pictures, and this was the best envelope I could find.
There’s also a couple of terrific yuks! At least I thought so — esp. the one about BUSH (yelch).
Shia Khan’s eyes aren’t that green. I managed that with my red-eye reducing pen. No home should be without one!
Love you lots!!!
(Is your sister beautiful, or what!!)
Love,
Mom
