I've had a few people comment about how cool it is that Stephanie and Josh are naming their baby, Sadie Jane, after me. I always answer by saying that Sadie Jane will be born into a long line of "Janes": there is her mother, Stephanie Jane; her great aunt, me, Sheila Jane; her great grandmother, Bunnie Jane; her great-great grandmother, Louella Jane; and her great-great-great grandmother, Clementine Theodocia "Docie" Jane. That is as far back as we can trace the "Jane" today. So, I suppose there are a lot of folks Sadie Jane is named after; however, I am beyond honored she will share my name. Passing it on was not something that I could do for myself and my sister, (Happy Birthday eve shout out to Shari Schmitt Brindley) and Van Brindley graciously gave the name to their baby almost 30 years ago. THAT was a feeling I will never forget and I am looking forward to feeling the same thing all over again soon.
