Condolences to the family of Mms Colette Mazae,
What a deep love for music! A world of music at her fingertips!
It was the language that expressed and evoked in her feelings that were difficult, if not impossible, to communicate in words during her younger years. What a fluent speaker she was at 109!
One classical pianist, a former atheist, said the human brain, with its ability to create and appreciate music like that of Mozart and Beethoven, some feel is the product of evolution. He said that to him God's word is like a symphony with an elegant structure, a masterful arrangement, and a moving message for all mankind and that our brain is the product of a wise and loving Creator. He added - 'Who else could have orchestrated the writing of such a unified masterpiece?´
This same God blessed your dear one, Mme Colette, with an amazing gift of longevity and music to play at her fingertips as her life-long BFF! Keep her love and joy of music and for you as a family!
