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 wonderful friends - It was truly an honor to know your precious John Parker.  Every time we spoke, he'd tell us how many years he and his beautiful bride, Virginia, had been married!  His input of "Amens" and "Praise God" always touched deep within our hearts at church.  

Though we didn't spend much time with John or know him very well personally, we know John through each of you.  What a rich legacy of Christ-likeness and following and worshiping our Lord has been handed down through the generations, through all of you, extending through your marriages, your extended family and also to us - your friends.

We know you will have some difficult days as you adjust to life here without Papa John.  Please know how much you are loved by us, and so many more, and that you are, indeed, in our hearts and in our prayers.
