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.

Our condolences to all of John's family. We grieve with you over your loss of John here on earth and rejoice with you on his home going. Heaven holds such a promise for reunions!  We can't wait to get there!

John and Virginia coming back to Murdo every summer was always an exciting highlight of the summer. We looked forward to it. The fellowship was wonderful. Their love for us and for Jesus was felt by us deeply.

Thank you, John and Virginia, for caring about the souls of Harold and Pat and sharing Jesus with them. Through you and them we have a wonderful church we can call home where God's Word is preached every week. Harold and Pat have also been great friends, the best you could ever find on this earth, because of their love for Christ and for us! That would have never happened without your witness to them.

We do appreciate you both, one on earth and the other in heaven.

Looking forward to the day we are all together again ...
