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.
Tim Thune
Our prayers and thoughts go out to you as you grieve the loss of Papa John. Words will never adequately express the gratitude we have to John and Virginia.  Their obedience to the call to reach their world for Jesus Christ has profoundly changed the course of the world.  The arrival committee for John’s joyous entry into the arms of his Savior will fill a parade route.
 
Countless lives over 4 generations are in the kingdom of God because of John and Virginia’s unwavering witness for their Lord and Savior.   Thank you for loving my parents enough to bring the Good News to them.  Without your witness, their marriage may have ended in divorce and I likely wouldn’t be here today were it not for you.    

Because of their commitment and example of living their lives for Christ, we have tried to follow their example in leading our boys in the Truth.   We eagerly look forward to walking the streets of glory with John and having him give us the kingdom tour.   

Blessings, comfort and peace to you all, Tim, Sue, Nick, Logan and Jett Thune
