Testimonials

“…so many decisions to make alone. At the time the township took out this group policy, I thought Lloyd would be old when he died. But little did I know he would be only 65 years old and board chairman when he died. I am still living on the farm so the money came in very handy. This was a nice ‘thank you’ for all the years Lloyd spent as a township officer.”

-Janice Noreen, Bray Township, Pennington County.

“My husband was a township officer for a second time at the time of his death. He served 15 years as Treasurer. He enjoyed being an officer; the three past years were a learning experience. I was not aware of this township group life program…it was very welcoming to our family at such a tragic time. I really think this program should be issued in every township in the state. We are very thankful to Adams Township for having this program.”

-Barbara Gilgenbach, Adams Township, Mower Courty
