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've been thinking so much about your mom and grasping memories of her grace and faith and incredible kindness and the love she expressed for all of her family and especially John and Grandma.  I always think of her with lovely things around her too - little knick-knacks and oldlovely antiques or lacy cloths. 

Then I realized that in all our excitement over going to our "country cousins" way out in Yorba Linda, it was yor mom that was making the day perfect while we kids were exploring horses, orange groves and those lovely plump tomato worms!  Always a great meal after smashing worms!  And your mom was the grace in the room.  How lucky we were to have shared that.
