Phyllis Diebenkorn

Dear Gretchen and Christopher
I was saddened to read your mothers obituary in the paper. It brought back many memories of the times I saw your parents, and you. r. I have always felt so fortunate to have your grandmother, nana, in my life. I always wanted to thank you all for sharing her with my father and me. She had a tremendous influence on me and taught me a great deal about not only art, but literature too. She also gave my father some company. I am living in a small town,...

Dear Gretchen and Family, I will always remember your Mom in the art museums in Berlin. She had so much energy and such a great knowledge of the world of art and of artists. It was thrilling to follow her around the museum. I am honored to have sat for so many years at rehearsals sharing your family's amazing Artistic heritage and sharing your talent and love of great food and music. It grew my heart and my spirit. Thanks to your parents Gretchen, and to you and Dick for this amazing time....

Dear Dick, Gretchen, Ben, and family: I am sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.

My thoughts and prayers for Gretchen and Dick Grant and all the family. I will always remember the evening I was first in your home, Dick and Gretchen, for a PME rehearsal and asked Dick about the beautiful paintings on the walls. "Are you a painter, too, Dick?" (!!!) When you responded that these were all Diebenkorns, you could have knocked me over with a feather! (And I should have known!) With love and prayers for Phyllis and all your family, Michael Mello
