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 have always thought of John as my spiritual father since I first met him in 1988.  John exhibited Christ at a time of my life as a new Christian, when I needed to build a firm foundation in Christ as the husband of my wife and the father of my children.  John modeled Christ for me.  He mentored me and taught me how to be the man God wanted me to be for my family.  John's love for Virginia and his family is what allowed me to see the image of how God wanted me to love my family.  John has had the most impact in my life of any Christian man I know.  Thank you John
