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.
Howard - Just want you and Lauralyn to know that I'm praying for all of you. We want to cling to every last moment we have with our parents. Life is so precious with them, but at the same time we know how glorious heaven will be and cherish the certainty of knowing that we will spend eternity with them. I know my mom, as well as so many others will be there to greet John when he is transported and can't help but smile at the joy in all of them when they see each other there, but the greatest of all is just to see our Jesus!

I'm praying that his last moments on this earth will be so peaceful and a time of such treasure for all of you.
My love to all of you. I know how bitter sweet this is. We all have so many cherished memories and want to hang on to every last one of them, but what a treasure to be able to usher our loved ones into the very presence of Jesus!

Please give my love to John, Virginia and Lauralyn. Because of your family, we have the hope of glory ahead of us. Its all about Jesus!

Remember Margaret singing "It will be worth it all when we see Jesus. Life's trials will seem so small when we see Christ. One glimpse of His dear face, all sorrow will erase. So bravely run the race, till we see Christ."
