Life Insurance, for when life happens

Jeanie Kazemier: Tom and I were definitely a case of opposites attract. He was the planner, I was more spontaneous. We brought out the best in each other. Shortly after Tom and I were married, he brought up the topic of life insurance. Tom would always say to me, “We need to plan for our future” and “We don't know what could happen.” He was such a wonderful partner and a great father. He loved the outdoors. Every year, Tom would go on an annual snowmobile trip with his friends and colleagues. Tom called me while he was on his trip. I didn't know at the time that that would be the last time that I would ever speak to him. Tom had been in an accident and had passed away. It was the worst moment of my life. I couldn't imagine a world without Tom. People who don't think life insurance is important, I get it, because I used to be one of those people. If Tom didn't have life insurance, I don't know how I would have paid my mortgage. I don't know how I would have gotten groceries for the kids. Barb Pietrangelo (financial professional): After Tom's death, Jeanie was quite worried about money, and just security in general. And the life insurance not only provided the benefits for her to stay home and take care of her family financially, it also gave her a peace of mind to even sleep well at night. Tom made sure that there was life insurance for the family in case anything would happen to him. That Jeanie and those kids would always be secure. Jeanie Kazemier: Because of Tom's life insurance, the kids and I are doing really well. It's been a long journey, but we've made new memories. And more than anything, the three of us know we are okay. We're not just surviving anymore. We're thriving.
