After two hours of dancing, the group went to a Chinese dimsum place called Asian Pearl to feast and celebrate Gertrude's 104th birthday.
What has Gertrude accomplished in her departure?
Now in North Berkeley Senior Center , Line dancing is alive and well. In fact, it has expanded. More people are teaching and more classes are available and more people are enjoying the opportunity to dance at old age.
In addition, in Albany there is now a senior line dancing class just for the over 65. The class is diverse, it includes immigrants from different parts of the world such as Peru, Iraq, Taiwan, Korea, China and England.
If Gertrude were alive she would have loved to see the elderly immigrants dancing. She would have loved to see her students taking the paton and following her ambition. She would smile and nod her head.

Happy Birthday Gertrude! How can we forget you!

I cherished her approach to life, living it to the fullest, with optimal vigor that her body granted as she aged. Often I was impressed by her internal flame, with her energy and curiosity. I looked forward to seeing her when I came to visit the family, hoping to spend some one-on-one time for good conversation.
My thoughts and prayers are with Gertrude's soul, and her close knit family,
