Hello Katlaba family. I dont remember if I met any of you or not. I considered Mindy a good friend for many years. She always cut my hair and did my nails. She did my hair and make up in Oct 1992 for my wedding. I will always remember how wonderful she made me look and what a wonderful person she was. I pray for your family and May god be with you at this time.
