Michele came to WHC last night to spend some quality time with her Grand Father John Henry Arrington Jr.
Michele added a sparkle to his eyes and smile to his face.

The family ask that you continue to keep John Henry Jr. in your prayers. We have crossed the four month mark for his hospitalization.
On Saturday 8/9 my father took my bible and read a few pages from Genesis and a few pages from revelations. He drifted off into a peaceful and restful sleep which was well needed.
Candles continue to be lit in the name of this family. If you have a particular request you would like lifted up during the next lighting post them here or send them to webmaster@arrington.org.
Thank You

We continue to pray for the needs of our family.

Hey Family and Friends,
Pop is still Hospitalized but in pretty good spirits. Marvelle and I visited with him this evening. Pop is learning to get away from CNN and enjoy programming such as Law and Order. I think he is learning to appreciate comedies and games shows.
Thanks to Liz Banks and Treasure Arrington for making the journey here to Washington to visit.

For those of you who don’t know John Henry Arrington Jr., my Pop, has been in the hospital for over two months now. he has made remarkable progress in his recovery moving from the ICU to Intermediate care, to the general ward. We even saw him leave the formal hospital facility for a few days but the pneumonia he was suffering from and the Staph infection came back and we had to move him back to Washington Hospital Center. We ask for your prayers and any expressions of your concern be sent to us here or that you contact Manuel Arrington for a physical address to send things to. Cards, balloons or other such items are welcome but flowers are not because of his respiratory problems. Here are some pics of Pop, John Henry Jr, and his immediate family visiting him in the Hospital. He got surprised by his daughter-in-law Jeanette, who has also been ill, coming to see him and in general was just in good spirits that day. We also have Andriana, Zita’s daughter who came to see her Pop Pop! Among the other visitors he’s had have been his cousin Treasure Arrington and Jean, John Roosevelt Arrington (Chuck John the thirds oldest son) and of course Michelle, Marvelle’s daughter has been a constant visitor. His five children (Zita, Marvelle, Manuel, Joel and John H III have spent time sitting with him and watching over him almost daily. We want to especially thank Marvelle, Zita and Mony for giving so much of their time and although we know it is done out of love we are still grateful and thankful they are able to spend so much time with Pop. Well we will keep you updated on his recovery and as John Henry celebrated his 85th in February we ask that all your parayers include that we’d love for him to see many more birthdays.

Thank you!

Joel M. Arrington - The “Middle” son

My sister has a calming,comforting and nurturing spirit. She has the ability to reassure my father in his times of confusion and frustration. She has been an Angel to see over him and care for him.

Zita, I don’t know where he, I or the rest of the family would be without you. May God Protect You All Of Your Days.

Did I mention she is an Attorney, Former Nurse(MSN) and an Ordained Minister.
