Our world has lost a beautiful light for Christ, a loving spirit. Heaven is rejoicing that one of their own is home. Eileen was the most loving and forgiving person I've ever known. She will be missed. Thankfully her spirit lives on in her children.

Grandma Hoke was a very sweet and loving woman. She has helped so many people with what she could. And she was a great person to go and talk to. I remember talking to her and that woman gave me the biggest hug and kiss on my cheek and told me she loved me. She will be truly missed.
