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.

We first John and the Parkers in the 70's when we first came to Friends Church.  Then we met in South Dakota on a vacation with our children.  John was a man who loved Jesus and people.  He was outgoing and smart and encouraging.  He was a good teacher and had a great sense of humor.  I just loved seeing him at church.  It made me feel "all is well."  John was approachable and easy to talk to.  John was a real man of God.  Like a prophet from the Old Testament.
