A funny memory I have is the last time we visited Nan Nan. We got to bring our German Shepherds, and as soon as Nan Nan saw them outside her door, she was so excited. She told us about her German Shepherd and how much she loved him, and before long let us know she didn't mind ;) if they came inside. They came in and met everyone, and then Rebel planted himself in the middle of the room. After a while of visiting, Nan said to Papa Sterling, "Sterling, where's my camera?" to which he replied, "What camera? I didn't know you have a camera." Nan was impressed with how helpful he was. ;) Mom and Ginny both offered to get a picture for her, and asked what she'd like a picture of. She nodded toward the rest of the room and said, "I want a picture of that." "The kids?" they both asked. "No," said Nan, as if they had asked a silly question, "that good looking dog there!" We all laughed, and they snapped a picture for her. A little while later, Nan remarked, "I sure would like to have my picture with him!" So we wrangled the dogs for a picture with Nan Nan, then asked if we could hop in for one too. She did let us, but Rebel definitely photographed better!
I'm so so thankful that God saw fit to bless me with the best Nan Nan in the world, and for the godly example Nan Nan and Grampy Seely left us. I have a goodly heritage!

Brenda,
Deepest condolences on your loss. Your mother's unwavering love in our Lord and generations of her family is evident by the heart warming and beautiful comments of her many grandchildren. She loved her family and they her. Take care.

As one of the American grandchildren, I didn't have unlimited access to my "Nanny," but annual summer trips to her place were glorious and one of the ways that I marked the passing years of my childhood.
There are still so many sensory things that spark memories--fields of lupines, like the ones that that told me we were getting closer to Canada; roses and bleeding heart bushes, like the ones that flourished under her care; hummingbird feeders, like the one hanging outside her kitchen window, where she washed dishes in absolutely scalding water...
Then there were the patently "Nan things"-- the Bible story cassette tapes; the apron that only seemed to come off for church; the frog pond made just for little boys; the ever-fascinating "party line" and listening for her distinctive ring; the elevated "throne" in her basement bathroom; the seemingly endless supply of donuts and molasses cookies; and the exclamations of "Oh, Ralph!" and "Max! Get on your mat!" that made us grin from ear to ear.
But the ultimate gifts she gave me were people, among them "the cousins." I'm not sure in childhood I loved anything more than this gaggle of grandchildren she had, this crowd of almost-siblings who made life outrageously fun (and funny!) from my earliest memories into early adulthood. Trips to visit Nanny & Grampy were made even sweeter by the small mob waiting to greet us after she got the first hug.
Also among her people-gifts was her son (my dad), whose most profound impact on me came from his faithfulness in reading Scripture every morning--color coding verses with a system I didn't understand but understood was profoundly important to him. By God's grace, there's nothing I now love more than the living Word & the written Word of God; but to some degree, this is a generational gift that's been handed down over lifetimes.
It was not a small thing that my grandmother spent decades faithfully raising her children. Nor was it a small thing when she recorded those cassette tapes so that her grandchildren could hear Bible stories from a voice they knew and loved. And it wasn't a small thing to be mailed "Johnny & Susie books," stories that gave me my first taste of what devotion to God might look like in a child's life. For these things and countless other things she did in the shadows, I will be eternally grateful, because "[T]hou, O God, ... hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name." (Psalm 61:5)
God was faithful to show her the path of life by showing her Himself; and now in His presence, she knows fullness of joy as she sees Him in all His glory! At His right hand she is finding pleasures forevermore. (Psalm 16:11) We love you, and we'll see you there soon, Nan!

Watching precious Nan meet my little son, her great great grandson was one of the sweetest moments of my life. Sawyer will run past the picture wall, stop and say "Nan-nan- nan". I'm beyond thankful for the memories, inspiration and legacy she has given us all!

There are many memories I have of Nan Nan. We loved to play phase ten with her, and she was always just as competitive as the rest of us. I loved to sit with her and she would point out all the birds at her feeders, and she would tell us their names. She also taught me once how to get deer to come closer to you. I am most thankful for the Godly heritage she left me with. Most people do not have the privilege of being a fifth generation Christian. She was a wonderful example to all of us. Even when she was at home and couldn't really go anywhere, she was always so happy and content. I will miss her alot. I'm very thankful for all of those who were with her in her last days to comfort and take care of her. I know she appreciated it, and so do I.

I have been blessed to know Nan Nan. Not many young people get know and have a relationship with their great grandmother. Much less one that is saved and left such a Godly example to me. My greatest memory of Nan Nan is the cassette tape that I had of her when I was little. She told the the story of Noah and the ark, and many other children's stories, and I am privileged to have her cassette player in my home now. She was the personification of a loving great grandmother with lots of hugs and kisses, laughs, food, and memories to last a life time. She made my life richer and I praise the Lord for the part that she played in my life.

"... Her price is far above rubies..." "...her (grand)children arise up, and call her blessed..." "...thou excellest them all..." "...a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised."
Nan was an exceptional lady. Not because of anything she did, but because of the Lord who lived in and through her. There are no words to explain this lady - her faithful, godly example, her heart that was after God's own heart, her love of Lord, family and friends (in that order). How do I honour such a Nanny, a mentor, a friend - the joy she brought to my life, the lessons she taught (often unknowingly!), the legacy she leaves behind?
Helping her water and tend her "monkey face" pansies, sitting on "Aunt Sandy's" stool for a snack of grated carrots and thousand islands dressing, watching those wrinkled, knobby hands mold and shape her famous doughnuts and apple pies, all the while molding and shaping pieces of my heart and life... Watching her fuss and fume at the Jays and squirrels -
But most of all, I will miss knowing that every day, she is approaching the throne of grace for me, pleading for God's hand on my life. For all the influence she had on me, this surely is the valuable, precious thing she ever did. Only God knows from what her prayers protected me! Such large shoes to fill... But I promise, Nan, with God's grace and help, I will do what I can to stand in the gap for those we love.
Forever she will be the most beautiful grandmother in the whole wide world.
Psalm 71:3

What will always come to mind when I think of Aunt Anne, is the sound of her soft voice, as it reminded me of her mom Gertrude, my grandmother. These past couple of summers I had the great privilege of visiting Aunt Anne in her home and listening to her reminisce about her life. Watching her tap on the window and growl a little bit when those pesky bluejays would invade the bird feeders outside her window always brought a smile to my face. Embedded in our conversations, she made it so abundantly clear just how much she loved her Lord and her family. Much love to my cousins and extended family. ❤️

Nan will be remembered for so many things. She was the only grandmother I had, and so was very special. She invested hours of love and prayers into each of our lives, and we will feel their absence. Sundays sitting beside her, Christmas dinners at her house, the smell of Nan's doughnuts, helping with her roses, and listening to her complain about the squirrels and blue jays...but most importantly just watching her live for pleasing her Lord without complaint...these are a few of the innumerable memories I will cherish.

Nan was the greatest grandmother ever! I have so many wonderful memories of the weekends I spent with her and Gramp in my preteen and teen years. The one that most often comes to mind was stepping into the kitchen on Damascus Rd to see Nan in her patched apron frying fresh donuts! I never left without one or two or…
I shared the privilege (sometimes) of sitting beside her in church on Sundays but we all knew you better sit still cause Nan could and would Pinch if you didn’t!
Nan loved God and us grandkids and I knew she prayed for me! I sure am looking forward to getting to “Stroll over Heaven” with her someday just like we did at one of the last Bluenose Campmeetings she was able to attend!
