September 1, 2012


A GLORIOUS DAY - Virginia Whitson Parker has joined John, Pat Thune, Edith Anderson and so many others in her heavenly home.

She left this earth early Saturday morning Sept 1, 2012 after a restful night. The timing was most likely chosen once John finished painting and installing shelves in their new mansion. :-)

Virginia lived a faithful life as wife, mother and encourager. Many lives and marriages are changed today as a result of her life. We are grateful for all she has meant to us and are thankful for her faithful example.

A memorial service is planned for Sunday afternoon at 3:30 Sept 16th at Yorba Linda Friends Church in Yorba Linda CA. For a map http://goo.gl/maps/AJ9Ab Service details are available from the church office at 714-777-2875.

Cards and notes may be sent to Howard Parker, 5126 Lakeview Ave, Yorba Linda CA 92886 and email to family@parkers.net. We will be adding your comments and thoughts to this website as they come in.

Dear John and Virginia,
It was so wonderful to see you at church last Sunday! For Letty and me, Yorba Linda Friends IS John and Virginia Parker! When we came almost 16 years ago, with a one-month old baby, you welcomed us into your Sunday School class, and invited us to lunch the next Sunday...if we would come back. Well, we did...and ...we've been there ever since! Our baby is now a high school sophomore at El Dorado, and we have 2 junior high boys as well. Based on your example to us, we try to find to folks who come to YL Friends and invite them to lunch the next week, and we've had many great experiences because of that! God bless you both. Letty and I want to be like you when we grow up!
