Paul Parker M.D., a Fantastic person in everyway! Medically, Spiritually, Family, patient care! I'm sure Heaven has truly welcomed him! I met him at Glen Ellyn Clinic where I was a Med. Tech! 1967! Prayers are lifted!

I was also very sorry to hear of Dr Parker's passing. I always remember his calm demeaner when I would visit him during my youth. I also appreciate his friendship that he had with my father over these many years. My thoughts and prayers to Mrs Parker and the rest of the family.

I was so saddened to hear about Dr. Parker's passing. He was very special, as a doctor to my entire family, and as a friend, to my father. I am comforted to know that he is now fully with God. His family members are in my prayers.

I consider myself singularly privileged to have been a patient of Dr. Parker in my younger years. He was almost certainly one of the finest Christians I have ever known. His depth of compassion and concern for others will long outlive him in the generations of people on whom he practised the healing arts. May God grant comfort to Mrs. Parker and to his children and grandchildren at this time of loss.

We held Dr. Parker in highest esteem, both as a physician and friend. He was a prayer warrior and his prayers will be missed. Ginnie appreciared him so much when he came so faithfully to pray on Tuesdays for the boys and girls attending the back yard Bible clubs.

May God bless you, Pauline, and hold you tight.(If this is a repeat, forgive. Our first try disappeared suddenly.)

From the time he joined me in practice, Paul was a true and compassionate friend as well as a knowledgeable physician. His arrival in Wheaton was truly a Godsend for me personally and for the community.

Our heartfelt sympathy is with Pauline and the children.

When reflecting on the life of Dr. Parker, I will remember his concern and compassion as our family physician during our residency in Wheaton. He never rushed through his appointments, but always had a listening ear for his patients. It was a great privilege to work with Dr. Parker on his very helpful book, What's a Nice Person Like You Doing Sick? Its pages revealed that same concern and compassion that endeared him to patients and readers alike. I look forward to that glad reunion in Heaven which awaits all of God's children.

Our prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Dr. Parker was a wonderful doctor to our family and a great counselor to our spiritual needs. We will miss him in this life but looking forward to meeting him again one day in heaven.



God bless all of you is our prayer.

What a rare and wonderful thing it was to have the same doctor from the day I was born until I reached adulthood! Dr. Parker was truly a dream doctor, extremely knowledgable but never condescending to my hypochondriac (?) adolescent self.

When my grandfather was visiting from Florida one summer, he was diagnosed with cancer, and ended up at CDH for a month or so. Dr. Parker visited him, cared for him, and prayed with him -- such a gift to this man who had never in his entire life been admitted to a hospital. He could not have been in better hands.

Our blessings and prayers go out to the Parker family.
