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 will miss John greatly.  He was always there for me and my husband in the first several years of our marriage, which wasn’t easy.  But he and Virginia were always there to love on us and pray for us.  

Now we celebrate 23 years of marriage and try to encourage others from our story.  They never judged, just loved and showed Christ wherever they were.  They were consistent in their faith and are a pillar that will be missed of what marriage should be.  

I can’t wait to see him on the other side as I’m sure he’ll be God’s little helper up in heaven.  What an honor to have known him and be apart of His life.  

Oh my heart hurts to know he’s gone as there is no one like him and our world needs so many duplicates of him to help others.  But, I know he is in a better place, jumping, rejoicing and singing praises to our Lord!  Amen.
