Hello Selleck family,

It is seven years after Mrs Selleck’s passing but she has been on my heart so I decided to research her today and where she used to live in Harvey Circle, Kennett Square.

My heart is aching today and I wish I could say hello to her and tell her what she’s done for me. Back in the 80s, she invited me into her home while I was playing in Harvey Circle as a young girl one day. I used to live across the street in the brown house at 318 W South Street.

She walked me through a sinners prayer and helped me to accept Jesus at that period of time. Unfortunately, I was so young and didn’t really understand what all of it meant but I thank God this day that she did that. I truly believe she heeded the voice of the Holy Spirit. My life has not been easy but I can say as I look back that I was definitely protected in all the stupid things I have done and I truly believe God used her to start my unknown journey with Him.

I remember sitting at her dining room table. I so wish I understood then what all of this meant and I wish I had the information that she shared with me then but all I have is the memory and Jesus. He’s enough.

I don’t know how often she did that with children but somehow I hoped she would have remembered me too and that moment we shared.

I remember she would ask me and the neighborhood kids if we wanted an apple. I remember this vibrating pillow on her couch.

May she be living in God’s glory and with our Lord and Savior. As I sit here today, I am truly a born-again Christian as of a couple of years ago and remember all those years ago when God used Mrs Selleck to save me. Praise God!

I am so sorry that she is not around anymore for me to say hello to and let her know how much I appreciate what she did for me and that I am fully surrendered to the Lord but I would like to let you know that I shed tears of joy and sorrow for her.

Thank you, Mrs. Selleck, for what you did for me and praying with me. God bless you and your family for generations to come. I pray for you all to have a saving grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ and I pray that the Spirit of the Lord in wisdom and revelation come upon you in the knowledge of Jesus Christ and may you have a personal relationship with him as your Lord and Savior.

Gratefully in Christ,

To Brenda and Jeannie...I'm so sorry for your loss. It was strange to see the obituaries of your Mom and
my Dad on the same page in the Kennett Paper (he preceded her by just 5 days). I have so many fond
memories going back to the 1950s through 1970s English wives tea group, the July 4 picnics at Keiters with
the tea group's families and then often crossing paths with her in the years since. Despite the British
beginnings, she was a true Kennett fixture with her community involvements with church, fire company,
grange and senior center and her many years involvement with Woodward Farm. Always friendly, always cheerful, great sense of humor, great fun, never lost that strong Lancashire accent (as I did as a child long ago)...great memories that I will never forget and I will really miss those wonderful chance encounters and the bit of England that they always brought back into my life. She touched so many people throughout her life and she will be very much missed. My deepest sympathies, David

I first met your Mother when I worked at Peyton Place with both of you. Became reacquainted with her when I was doing volunteer work at the Senior Center in Kennett. She was always friendly, upbeat and gracious.
A joy to be around! My thoughts are with you and your family.ld8

WE will miss our dear Joanie and have the most wonderful memories of her and the warmth and care she gave to me and my children Sarah and Will. We will miss her wonderful spirit and cherriness that she always brought with her--as well as her delicious coffee, rum and chocolate cakes. We know that she is already making friends in her new life---love to Jeannie and her extended family.

I am so sorry to hear that Grandma Selleck has passed away. She lived a long life and I thought of her as a second mother to me. I am going to make a donation to her name to the hospice. I know what great work is done there as my mother spent her last days in a hospice as well. Much love to Brian, Jeanie, Drew, Angela, Lauren, Brenda and Matt.

Bill joins me in extending our sincere sympathy to Mrs. Selleck's family. Hugs to all, Bill and Diann
