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 just wanted to extend my and my families deepest sympathy and love to you. Back in the 80's during the summer I worked for them when they had the motel here in Murdo.  They were so good to work for.

John and Virginia have been such a special part of our little church (Community Bible) back here in Murdo, SD. They were instrumental in the starting of our church over 50 years ago, and we so looked forward to the times when they would come back and visit us. 

I know without a doubt that John had a multitude of crowns to lay at the Lord's feet and that the angels were in great celebration when he arrived home!! He was a true man of God. I always looked forward to hearing him teach from the Word. My dad, Sam Daum, is already there.  It will be wonderful when we all get home and see them and our sweet Lord!!  Know that there are many loving thoughts and prayers being sent for you.
