Steve fought an amazing battle , when he was first diagnosed we didn't think he had much time, but he gave his all and gave cancer one heck of a fight. You are a warrior Stephen Petrella and we wish we had one more chance to hug you and tell you that. Thank you for taking good care of Barbara and loving her like you did. You were a kind, gentle, soul and your presence here will be missed but Jose and I know we will see you in Heaven. To Stephen's family, we are so very sorry for your loss. To my Sister Barbara, you did a wonderful job of caring for Stephen and I pray Our LORD comes alongside you and comforts you like only He can 🙏

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.
