About this Article

You could say Maria and LaJason Parker grew up together. They were neighbors and classmates as children, and they started dating when both were freshmen at Danville High School. "We got married in 2007, and we've been together ever since," LaJason said. On any given Sunday, the five members of the Parker family can be found in the sanctuary of Greater Shiloh Baptist Church, performing with the Sounds of Shiloh choir. The choir provides worshipful music at church services and at outreach events in the community.
