“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31 Peacefully at Bethesda Hospital on Tuesday, April 22, 2008, Gertrude Shore went to her eternal home at the age of 79.
