I am shocked to find out the passing of Lana. She was a strong woman, kind soul. She was a good friend to me and my husband for over 25years.
A good friend when my husband passed. I will miss her very much. My prayers go out to her family.

My wife and I were very heart broken when I discovered just yesterday of the tragic death of Lana. Lana has taken care of us for over twenty years when she first started cutting hair in Manchester. She was such a loving and caring person. She spoke often of her family, her church and all of her friends. At times it may have been difficult to understand her but soon you learned she loved everyone that she had met. I am so sad to lose her. We will all miss her dearly.

Svetlana was the first person I met when I moved to New Town, St. Charles Mo. She introduced me to people and made sure I felt like a part of the community. My townhouse was across the street from her beauty shop and we spent many hours just talking about life. She told me about her son. She introduced me to her sister and her niece. Of all of the people I got to know in New Town Svetlana stood out as the most genuine, kind and loyal friend I had. God bless her. Rest in peace my dear friend.

I worked with Lana at CBG for several years. She was a wonderful cook and made the most outstanding dinner for our whole office at her home. Just a wonderful caring individual. So very sorry she left us too early. Prayers for her sister and brothers.

Svetlana was such an integral part of New Town. When you first move to tgown here, Lana offered a special on a haircut. I took my grandson to her shop to have his haircut. By the time she was finished not only did she know everything there was to know about our family, but she was also "best buddies" with my grandson. A lovely lady.

Lana was a gem! Her compassion and desire to be of service to all who knew her went beyond measure. So her "old world charm" was deeply appreciated and will be greatly missed by us. Love you Lana and Prayers, Light and Peace to her family and everyone who considered her the same.

I had the great fortune of meeting Lana when she opened her salon in New Town. A very nurturing and attentive woman who made you feel at home when in her company. With a heavy heart I send my condolences to all of her family and friends. A beautiful spirit who will most certainly be missed.
