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.

Thinking of John, what comes to mind is Virginia (mommy), how to be a Christ follower, my mentor, my example of Christian action, helping me be a better wife and what Christ required of that.  I saw how life was to be God, family and friends.  How much he could talk :-) !!  Also, our trips to Israel.  One day it was quiet around here, but I saw him (I think in his 70's) painting the whole church, all by himself.  I remember the smile on his face - going about God's work.  He was always quiet in his service unto the Lord.  Israel he called "Land of the Bible," how true!
