CONDOLENCES:   We have received word from Judy Crippin of 268 Camelot Dr. that her Mom, June Cochran, age 91 of Kalamazoo MI, passed away on Saturday, May 30th.   She was a very special and loved Mom, grandma and great-grandma.   Even though she never visited KGC, she knew all about the activities and people from Judy and thought it was a wonderful place.   Condolences may be sent to Judy and Wayne at their northern address in the directory.   All prayers will be appreciated to help them through the days ahead without her.
