Evangeline “Evie” Mae Statler’s life began as a dream long ago for her parents and 10-year-old brother Mason. From hearing the name Evangeline for the first time in a game Mason was playing—which the Statlers later learned meant “bringer of good news”—to literal dreams about adding a little girl to their family, this baby was beloved before she even existed. So, when that twinkle in their eye became a positive pregnancy test, it felt predestined all along.
