It may seem silly or morbid to purchase a life insurance policy for your young children. It is not a pleasant thought to think that you may potentially make a claim on the policy.

However, purchasing life insurance for a child is not just for having a death benefit when they are young. In fact, one of the significant advantages is financial security through continued insurability.

Before walking through the door of Viva Maria, all I knew about the place was that it was an Italian restaurant with big portions and huge support from both the local community and ONU campus crowd. My husband and I walked up to the restaurant around 8 p.m. on a weeknight.
