Linda was my favorite! She's with the girls now, her Halekulani Girls. My heartfelt condolences to the family.

Loved listening to Linda's wonderful tones and 'kolohe' musical references on KCCN during my UH years '68-72...saddened to hear of her passing but believe she knows a greater peace. Malama pono, canary wahine, and God bless you and your 'ohana everywhere. With warmest aloha,

From our ohana to yours, with deepest sympathy and sincere condolences on your loss. Aunty was such a tremendous aspect to the Hawaiian Community, that she will never be forgottened. She stood for the true meaning of aloha, and with that in mind, we will always and forever remember her. Her tenacious and gregarious attitude along with her sweet voice will be imbedded in our hearts for all eternity. She was deeply loved and we will surely miss her, a whole lot. She leaves back a legacy for all of us to follow. Me Kealoha Pumehana o Iesu Kristo. The Tomaselli Ohana from Las Vegas, NV

As an employee of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA), I had the opportunity of working with Trustee Dela Cruz. She was basic, down-to-earth and caring. she will be missed for her basic approach to issues dealing with the betterment of native hawaiians.
