Quotes
"I'm
here every day and I thoroughly enjoy it. It is my pleasure
to work with the seniors here, to help make good things happen
for us all."
Hazel
Burnett, President, Senior Renaissance Center
"I'm
eighty four, and have been retired for some time. When I
lost my wife after sixty-two years together, it's really been
a
help to me to come to the Center. I used to come there to
entertain several years ago. When my wife died, I spent four
and a half months alone at home before I started coming to
the Center regularly. Being with the people there has meant
a lot to me, and brought me out of it. We have a lot in common,
because most of us have lost our spouses. People understand
what you're going through. They have been there themselves.
I really like the fellowship, and I try to visit around with
all the
people. It makes the mornings pass more quickly, and makes
the days a lot more interesting."
Rev.
Willard Brown, retired United Methodist Minister
"I'm just real thankful for the
Senior Renaissance Center.
They're just nice people over there, all of them. I appreciate
them. They're taking good care of me."
Mrs.
Ruby Edmondson, on the occasion of her
91st
birthday, 3/14/03.
"I certainly think it's a great place for people like
myself.
It's a good place to go, and keeps you from being by
yourself. You get all worn down at home by yourself."
Mr.
Leo Baker retired after 34 years at Veteran's
Hospital, Church
of Christ Elder for 40 years.
