23 tkfn Hcp kpμc k o Ø\w 23 Divine music, a solace for Girly JERRY AMALDEV Music Director Music was a source of consolation for Girly. She believed that it glorified the Lord. She found solace in singing prayers of the Lord and in hearing praises of the Lord. She thought piping to soft music in our hospitals could be made in a regular features as it would be therapeutic for patients. While I behaved like a sleep-walker in the wake of extreme adversity, Ponnachan Vakil and Girly faced it armed with the Bible. "Girly - a Beautiful Psalm" is a testimony to their unflinching faith which recognizes sickness, pain and death as divine means of purification for our Ultimate Bliss. Ponnachan Vakil (Mr. Varghese P. Thomas) and I faced identical crisis in our lives, namely, the demise of our wives due to cancer. Both Girly and Jolly were strong believers. While Jolly preferred spiritual retreats to medical treatments, Girly put her entire self into the Lord s hands as found in the Bible. Girly was strongly musical. I met her as an alto in Rock of Ages. Though she was undergoing chemotherapy she was always cheerful and jovial, whenever I asked her for a glass of water she would literally run to get it for me. For four long years Girly s residence was given for rehearsals at her suggestion. And after her death the venue was shifted elsewhere due to factors beyond our understanding.
