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.
Dear Virginia,  Greetings from Guatemala.  We just now heard about John’s home going and wanted to tell you how much we always loved and respected you and John. 

What a blessing you two always were to Diana and I as young married people heading for Christian service, and always encouraging us to keep on going in our service to the Lord. And that is your testimony to all who know you. You have kept on and kept on. You are our heroes and we are following in your footsteps. We are going to keep on serving the Lord for as long as He gives us breath.

And may God richly bless you for as many days as He gives you, and then on the other side with John. Keep up the good work. God has and is answering your prayers for us. 

Thank you so much for your faithfulness to the Lord. And one of these days we will all be together singing around the altar of God–and there will be a lot of Chortí people there too.  And the reason for that will be because you and many others at Yorba Linda Friends Church were faithful to be a witness to me so that I would come to know Him as my Savior and then be called into His service. Thank you so much, Virginia.  

With much love, John and Diana Lubeck, Camotán, Chiquimula, Guatemala
