"I was born in the North End of Boston, and have never left. I have four children and eight grandchildren.

The Center is a wonderful place; it saves my sanity. I had been home alone morning, noon and night. Now, I come five days a week. I truly enjoy it.

The workers here, God bless them; I don't know how they put up with us. They have so much patience. If I had a lot of money, I would leave it to the Center. I mean that in all sincerity."
