Elizabeth "Linda" Danek

Aunty Linda, I was so saddened to hear of this news. I was so thankful after so many years of absences being able to see you and Toni at the Plesanton Competition 2 years ago. My heart aches for all those that were fortunate enough to be taught by you. I know that I am a better Alaka'i to my haumana's because of your teachings! Mahalo & Aloha, Joreen B. Kaulana Pongasi-Bates

Aunty Linda- It was your Smile that we saw first when Alexandria decided she wanted to Learn Hula. It was your famous line, "Eat Rice for Breakfast cause cereal cost more than gasoline." That made us laugh every Saturday morning! We'll miss your laugh and your cute jokes. We're Thankful that Alexandria was able to be taught by you for awhile. Our Ohana is glad that you have Kanani. She will carry on the Traditions that you started and one day hopefully pass on to her girls. With Much Love,...

Aunty Linda - thank you for all the years of entertainment. Although I don't dance anymore I spent a few years as part of your halau. You showed me what great hula should look like, and my appreciation for hula has grown because of you. You will be truly missed. Aloha!
