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.

I join with hundreds of other who have been touched by John and Virginia's life.  What a great legacy.  My love to dear Virginia and all the family.  It was this Godly couple who were largely responsible for the ministry that was started in Murdo SD.  Long before they touched our lives, they touched the lives of many in Murdo with the Gospel of Jesus Christ--saved by God's grace and not of works.  I have so many memories but this is not the place or time.  God bless and yes, rejoice in the home going of a very worthy servant. I'm sure my husband was there to welcome him!
