In Loving Memory - Israel Kamakawiwo`ole
Lately, the "In Loving Memory - Israel Kamakawiwo`ole Guestbook" has been a difficult task to upkeep on a regular basis. As a result, e-Hawaii.com was generous enough to offer some space where the guestbook process is somewhat automated. I hope you enjoy the "new" look. My apologies for any inconvenience(s) this has caused.

Wow!!! my grandmother bought the CD during a cruise of the Inlands, and I am sorry to say it now belongs to me. What an amazing voice. The world is a less colorful place without him in it.

I just want to say thank you to IZ family and friends. I was lucky enough to see him once, and his voice has always been in my heart since that day. Thank you for sharing his love and voice to the world. He is and will be missed dearly by everyone.

Life is much much too short not to experience his gift, the song, Over the Rainbow. I KNOW the WORLD HEAVED especially Hawaii the day this man passed from us. I love to watch the videos of his smiling face as he sings. He makes me smile and the world suddenly isn't so bad anymore! We have many performers who come a dime a dozen but every once in a great while,along comes something money cannot touch, the one who sings from his soul, the one who reaches into us and brings healing! You live on and your voice graces the knolls of Heaven, Iz! Shalom! Bless you family! Bless your precious family! We LOVE the way you sang chimney. That word MAKES the song.

I borrowed a friends iPod recently(2007) and happened across several of Bruddah's songs. I had never heard of him or his music. I couldn't stop listening, trying to sing along, and often coming near tears at the passion in the music.
Tonight I decided to search the internet to learn more about him and his music, expecting to learn something about what he might be recording now....In just these last moments I have learned that Bruddah is gone.
My wife just came into the room and asked me what is wrong. She says I look like I just lost my best friend..

We used Israel's 'Over the Rainbow' for our 'Perfect' wedding song in Costa Rica a year ago and it was the most perfect wedding. Thanks IZ, we are with you in the after life and earthly souls...

In my life I have only heard two vocal artists I fell in love with their music, one was Isreal Kamakawiwoole. He will live eternally through his music and I know he has gone to take his place among other ethereal beings with the same sound he produced here on earth. My heart goes out to his family and friends over the loss of this great man.
