Real-Life Stories


"While making my decision to leave my estate to Froedtert I realized that they have saved a lot of lives over the years and thought that with any luck, they'd save mine too.  They did." Bobby Mason, Signature Society

A Second Life

For years Bobby Mason experienced trouble with his heart valves and in January 2007 it became necessary for him to undergo heart valve replacement surgery.
 
“I decided that if I didn’t survive the ordeal I should have my estate in order. In a matter of a few hours I decided to have the procedure done at Froedtert and that I would leave my estate to the hospital’s Foundation,” Mason said.
 
Luckily he is living his second life today, but the decision to take care of his estate is no longer a burden and he feels a great sense of relief for having made his decisions.

“While making my decision to leave my estate to Froedtert I realized that they have saved a lot of lives over the years and thought that with any luck, they’d save mine too. They did,” Mason said.
