Missing iconic 'Angel' at the bus stop


It seems empty without El Aina Danine an iconic figure we all came to recognize on a regular basis at the Kapa'a neighborhood center bus stop. Everyone had their opinion of the 'Angel at the bus stop', 'Lady in purple', and other

Just like in the dysfunctional family where family members fight and argue they always miss each other when they are no longer around. I feel the same with El Aina. She has moved on.

I think even those who complained are missing our 'Island Icon' sitting at the bus stop, I know I am?

God bless Kaua'i and the victims of the recent floods....
