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.
Mrs. Karen Thune
When I think of John Parker I think of a man who was wholely devoted to being a servant, representative, ambassador, witness, and disciple of Christ.  There was Kingdom purpose to John's relationships and to the time he spent with people.
   Marrying in to a John Parker "extended family" was a delight and privilege.  I have been encouraged, blessed, and challenged as I have watched my husband and children respect John and be blessed individuallu by him.
   John and Virginia were an amazing example of two becoming one in marriage.  They were quite a team, believing and modeling the biblical principles that made their home God's showcase.
