    So sorry to hear of Dee's passing. She was my gym teacher and a friend for quite some time afterwards. I don't know that i ever told her how much the volleyball she allowed me to play at the adult program before i was technically an adult changed my life! So many memories that i have with people because of those Thursday nights I played at Absegami. Going out afterwards was my first "date" with my now husband of nearly 20 years. I met friends for life at the program she ran for so so long. Dee - the game you helped me to love has become a life-changing platform that i now use to serve and love on others. Thank you, friend. I imagine unlimited volleyball courts in heaven. I'll see you for a game some day.

    She was my gym teacher for 4 years. Remember her fondly. It takes guts to be a high school teacher!

We Offer the Book of Memories™

Parsels Funeral Home offers what we consider to be the finest example of online memorials, the Book of Memories™. Created by an award-winning team of web developers and designers while being led by a funeral professional with over 25 years of experience, this online memorial is intended to provide your family with a permanent place to pay tribute to your loved one.

Far more than a traditional obituary—which is usually published only once and has no interactivity at all—the Book of Memories™ Memorial Website is a fully interactive archive of treasured photographs and stories remembered from their time spent with friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers.

You’ll be able to invite others to visit the online memorial, where they can upload images, share stories, write heart-felt messages of condolence, send a floral tribute to the funeral, or make a charitable donation in memory of your loved one. And the built-in social media integration means they can then “spread the word” about their addition to your loved one’s Book of Memories™ using Facebook and Twitter.

We offer the families we serve a Book of Memories™ memorial website with the intention that it gives you a measure of solace and comfort during the coming months. To arrange for a Book of Memories® memorial website for your loved one, contact us today.
