carmela dietzel

I met Carmela when i was 23 and she was 35...both living in Santa Monica, Ca. She soon introduced me to a young US Army Capt by the name of H. Norman Schwarzkopf (yes, the future leader of the first gulf war ) who had just purchased one of her paintings...It was the beginning of a life-long friendship. Many happy hours of laughter, singing, dancing, games, holiday celebrations, family dinners, theater/ ballet and opera dates , road trips (Carmel, Palm Spring, Las Vegas and oh, so much more....

I met Carmela when she lived downstairs

A great and glorious lady and we send condolences to Karl who attended St. Elizabeths School with me in the good old days.

Please accept my sincere condolences, may you find comfort in the precious memories shared together. May you also find comfort from Our Heavenly Father Who promise to give power to the tired one. Isaiah 40:29

Each day I admire the painting Ms. Marchese created that hangs in my home. And I recall with fondness the dinner party she gave for my husband and me. May she rest in peace with the Lord.

Dear Family and Friends,

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your dear loved one. May you find comfort, peace and hope in the weeks and months ahead. 1 Cor. 1:3-4 and 1 Cor. 15:26.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. Please know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many individuals who truly care about you. May the God who supplies endurance and comfort grant you peace. (Psalms 94:19)

My condolences goes out to the family. It is so wonderful to see he lived a long and full life but even then it hurts to see loved one go. Just as her paintings serve as a reminder of her talent and beauty, God also will vividly keep Carmela in his memory, because she is precious in his eyes, Psalms 116:15. May your fond memories of Carmela bring you comfort in this time of sadness.
