Oh my gosh.  What an unfortunate turn of events for the family.

It is really a tragedy.

Wow Randy how sad.

His sister in law was my english teacher at Radford.

How very sad! We loved watching the Don Ho show when I was very little. I saw the news report that he had passed. How tragic that his daughter is gone as well.

Randy, it was hard for me to think of Hawaii, without thinking of Don Ho, and now another member of his family is also gone.  Even though the police are saying that they do not believe that there was any foul play, it still looks a little suspicious that she would pass away so soon after her father.

Dayna was my friend.  I worked with her in the early 90's and found her to be a caring and loving person, even though she was going through some tough times.  I wish I had gone to Don Ho's funeral now, so that I could have seen her and grieved with her.  I chose to stay away, not wanting to be a hindrance.  What a bad choice that was.  I will miss her.

Lysa - Very sad.  I think everyone who lives or lived in Hawaii is connected in some way.

Teri - She was the best known of his family members also.

George - The timing is quite a coincidence if you believe in them.

Brian - This was truly a tragic story.  I am sure everyone involved is just stunned.

Wow....this is sad. 

Sally - It is truly sad.  We lost a couple of ambassadors to Hawaii.  Their family had had two big losses within a few weeks of each other.

Randy,

I have seen this happen many times.  The stress brought about by losing someone close causes all kinds of problems.

Aloha,

Lucky :(

I hope for their family's sake this is the end of the pain for awhile.

Like most people I was saddened to hear of the passing of Don Ho I remember the song Tiny Bubbles

in fact I was young when I learned toe song and sang it all the time

also I was sorry to hear of his daughter Dayna's death I have tried to find out the date of her birth

but had no luck does anyone out there know her birth date I would like to have it for my rememberance

book that I have of all the entertainers and actors that have passed on

Lawrence - I do not know her birth date, just that she was 52 years old. Possibly someone else out there knows it.

My father use to date Dana Ho-Henry for many years.  I am completely shocked by her death, as she was to young to go.  I feel so sorry for Mahina and her other daughter.  I have not seen her in many years, but ever since my father told me about this I cannot get it out of my mind.  She brought out the best in my father, although he may not want to admit this, in some weird way she was able to teach my father how to be a better dad, and for that I will always be grateful to her.

amber - That was a real nice thought.  Thank you for sharing.

I used to dance with the Don Ho Show back in the day.  Way back in 1978 - 1980.  Dayna, Dori & Lei were always there and we all had fun together!  I remember Dayna as a very sensitive, sprirtual & caring beautiful person.  She loved everybody!!  I JUST found out about her death and I'm in shock!!  TOTAL SHOCK!  I'm feeling a huge sadness for her children and her family!  I almost came to Hawaii for Don's funeral but thought I'd leave the family to greive on their own.  I lost my parents 7 yrs ago and I truly know what they are going through.  Now the lost of Dayna is too sudden... I'm crying for her daughters..... this is truly a difficult time of sadness.  God Bless You Dayna!! 

Mary Kaye - Thank you for sharing your experiences with the family.

I went to Kamehameha School with Dayna, Donlalei, and Dondi.  Dayna was me best friend during the late 60's and early 70's.  I spent many a day and night at the family home in Kaneohe, wher Dayna and I would listen to music , joke, and sneak cigarettes...  kid stuff.  I am shocked and deeply saddened by the news that she has passed, and in such a suddne and regrettable way.  My aloha to the family.

Keith - It was very sad news for their family and the community.
