Sad, moving and a lesson to all. I have always looked at insurance with some distaste, as it is a business, like most others, concerned with the bottom line. But it is one of the most important things we need to do for our families and ourselves, and simply for peace of mind, which is incredibly important. One way to look at it is if we are lucky enough to get through life not having to make too many insurance claims of our own, at least our money goes into the insurance company’s pot to use for those unfortunates who do need to make a claim, especially for tragedies such as yours.

Great article and important message to all.
