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.

It's been pretty busy here.  Dad is finally on hospice and is now able to sleep and he's pain free (for the most part).  The nurse yesterday said he's very close. 
Yesterday I had about 45 minutes with him while he was able to communicate - before I gave him more meds.  At one point I told him how much I loved him and leaned over to kiss his forehead.  He moved his face toward me to kiss my cheek.  Very sweet.  Probably the last kiss I'll get from my daddy.  I thank God for those few moments with him.  Since then he's been mostly sleeping and can't talk (at least not that can be understood). 
I want you to know that we're doing good and God is very close right now.  Please pray for my mom as she is in and out as far as understanding what's going on.  I sat and had devotions with her like she and my dad would do.  She is sweet and my heart hurts for her of course. 
Thank you all for your love and support.
