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.

How in the world can a person find the words to express proper appreciation to one John Parker?!  I mean, when he is the main human reason that your eternal destiny has been altered, from death to life, how do you get a handle on that?  And that’s not all.  John was instrumental in  my decision to attend Biola.  Then, when I got there, he gave me a place, and gave me jobs, and taught me so many life lessons.  I am one indebted guy—eternally indebted.  What more can I say?
