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.

Our first day at Yorba Linda Friends in 1995, having just moved to Orange County with a 2-month old baby, Olivia, we attended John's Sunday School class.  We said, "If we can learn to love the Lord enough to serve Him like John and Virginia do at their age, we want to learn from them".  Our (now) 3 kids are finishing Jr High and High School.  We are so thankful that John and Virginia welcomed us here.  They even took us to lunch at Lakeview Cafe.  For us, the faithful Christian life was modeled by John and Virginia.
