Not sure what to say?

John, Brian and Lori, Marie was the Matriarch of IATSE Local 26 and a mother to many of us. As the Head of Wardrobe, her strong presence and support of Gene at home and work kept the Stagehands Union alive for several lean years. All of us that have chosen to earn a living in the Theatrical Entertainment business in West Michigan owe her a debt of gratitude and thanks.
