Lakenen makes sign to honor health care workers

Tom Lakenen is seen with a sign he made in support of health care professionals. “The health care workers are the front line in this fight and I have the highest respect for all of them. Anybody in health care is definitely my hero, along with grocery store workers, truck drivers, law enforcement, firemen etc,” Lakenen said. “It’s hard to sit back and watch while others grab the bull by the horns and not be able to jump in and help, but I truly believe Gov. Whitmer’s stay-at-home order is going to get us through this. If this sign brings even the slightest bit of joy to the people on the front line, that would be great.” Creating the sign was a form of therapy for Lakenen, he said. The sign is temporarily located outside of UPHS-Marquette. (Photo courtesy of Lisa Lakenen)
