KISS ARMY/NAVY, it is with a heavy heart and much sadness that I announce that our good friend and fellow KISSKRUISE MANIAC Marie Balfanz has passed away. She left us too soon. She was a good person, a great friend, and we're gonna miss her. She loved to party and she loved KISS. When a couple of Maniacs met up at Rock Fest in Cadott, Wisconsin last summer to see KISS, Marie was the one who arranged the hotel for everybody and drove us from MN to WI. That's the kind of person she was. We plan to do something special for her to honor her memory on KISSKRUISE IV. It truly humbles me to see the outpouring of love for her on the Maniacs and Kruisers pages. It proves what we have known for years. KISS ARMY is family. RIP Marie. We love you. ANTMAN
