NOTE Paragraph

00:00:01.317 --> 00:00:02.777
Bob and I were married

00:00:02.777 --> 00:00:06.777
in Chicago, October 15, 1955.

00:00:06.777 --> 00:00:09.317
His best friend was marrying

00:00:09.317 --> 00:00:10.997
my best friend.

00:00:10.997 --> 00:00:13.857
We were both out of college.

00:00:13.857 --> 00:00:16.527
He was out of the Marine Corps.

00:00:16.527 --> 00:00:18.997
Family life was pretty normal.

00:00:18.997 --> 00:00:21.097
He was diagnosed

00:00:21.097 --> 00:00:25.097
with Parkinson's in 2005.

00:00:25.697 --> 00:00:26.957
At first it was nothing,

00:00:26.957 --> 00:00:28.167
he had a little tremor

00:00:28.167 --> 00:00:29.567
in his left hand,

00:00:29.567 --> 00:00:31.837
and it progressed very slowly.

00:00:39.331 --> 00:00:43.191
Bob worked for NBC for 27 years.

00:00:43.191 --> 00:00:44.831
He was made for it.

00:00:44.831 --> 00:00:47.361
His personality — he was not

00:00:47.361 --> 00:00:49.411
afraid to make decisions,

00:00:49.411 --> 00:00:52.431
he could stand behind them.

00:00:52.431 --> 00:00:53.721
We didn't realize it,

00:00:53.721 --> 00:00:57.031
but he was losing his grip

00:00:57.031 --> 00:00:59.241
on everything that he was doing.

00:00:59.241 --> 00:01:00.831
We started to see that my dad

00:01:00.831 --> 00:01:02.801
was very overwhelmed by it all.

00:01:02.801 --> 00:01:04.331
I think financially, he

00:01:04.331 --> 00:01:07.291
didn't understand his accounts anymore.

00:01:07.291 --> 00:01:09.021
Back in 2011, I could see

00:01:09.021 --> 00:01:10.751
that my father-in-law was starting

00:01:10.751 --> 00:01:11.911
to really struggle with

00:01:11.911 --> 00:01:12.931
his Parkinson's.

00:01:12.931 --> 00:01:14.231
Sit in on family meetings,

00:01:14.231 --> 00:01:16.061
and we started to plan together

00:01:16.061 --> 00:01:17.461
with Wells Fargo's help.

00:01:17.461 --> 00:01:19.601
We realized that as a family,

00:01:19.601 --> 00:01:20.801
you really have to look

00:01:20.801 --> 00:01:22.581
to the future; and not only

00:01:22.581 --> 00:01:23.661
just grandchildren,

00:01:23.661 --> 00:01:24.901
but even beyond that.

00:01:24.901 --> 00:01:26.331
In Life Management Services,

00:01:26.331 --> 00:01:28.571
we help work with individuals

00:01:28.571 --> 00:01:29.521
and their families

00:01:29.521 --> 00:01:31.091
through the aging process.

00:01:31.091 --> 00:01:32.641
We manage finances;

00:01:32.641 --> 00:01:34.391
we help getting access to the

00:01:34.391 --> 00:01:35.741
appropriate health care.

00:01:35.741 --> 00:01:37.021
My role with clients is to

00:01:37.021 --> 00:01:38.451
really try to assist them

00:01:38.451 --> 00:01:40.201
with tasks that they no longer wish

00:01:40.201 --> 00:01:41.311
to do themselves,

00:01:41.311 --> 00:01:43.401
or no longer can for certain reasons.

00:01:43.401 --> 00:01:45.471
I think that many of the things

00:01:45.471 --> 00:01:47.491
the Wells Fargo team does,

00:01:47.491 --> 00:01:49.001
I would probably be doing.

00:01:49.001 --> 00:01:50.951
Now, I can be a little bit more

00:01:50.951 --> 00:01:52.411
involved in other things.

00:01:52.411 --> 00:01:53.411
I'm there a lot,

00:01:53.411 --> 00:01:55.181
but I don't have to worry about them.

00:01:55.181 --> 00:01:57.561
Allison works with Margy and with me.

00:01:57.561 --> 00:02:01.341
She also takes over bills

00:02:01.341 --> 00:02:03.081
and the things I've paid.

00:02:03.081 --> 00:02:05.991
We meet with Margy and Randy

00:02:05.991 --> 00:02:08.311
so they know what's going on,

00:02:08.311 --> 00:02:09.991
go over the goals, the things

00:02:09.991 --> 00:02:11.981
we're trying to accomplish.

00:02:11.981 --> 00:02:13.621
It's been tremendously helpful

00:02:13.621 --> 00:02:14.871
to us as a family.

00:02:14.871 --> 00:02:16.044
I've really been

00:02:16.044 --> 00:02:17.057
impressed with the

00:02:17.057 --> 00:02:19.041
Life Management Services at Wells Fargo.

00:02:19.041 --> 00:02:20.931
They've really helped my mother-in-law

00:02:20.931 --> 00:02:22.341
and father-in-law a lot.

00:02:22.341 --> 00:02:23.821
Those services have been

00:02:23.821 --> 00:02:25.961
very important to us.
