	Mama Hokie
		Hokie did finally make it out of the hospital, but she was never again able to handle life on her own in her little chickee on the Tamiami Trail.
		Finally, however, Hokie, at age 86, was packed off to the nursing home where she declined quickly and died of a broken heart and body in the spring of 1995.
		Hokie was one of the last of her kind, and, in that way, was kin to the many other things that are disappearing from the River of Grass.
