Huntley residents in assisted-living facility renew marriage vows in special ceremony

The staff of White Oaks of Huntley and Kindred Hospice collaborated Friday to organize a vow renewal ceremony for residents of the assisted-living facility and their spouses. White Oaks at Huntley administrator Megan Benzel said staff had spoken with the facility’s hospice chaplain, who agreed to lead vow renewals for some of the hospice patients. From there, Benzel said, the idea grew into something bigger, where families, employees and nonhospice patients were invited. “It just kind of happened organically,” Benzel said. A total of five resident couples renewed their vows: Bonita and Garland Kizer, George and Marion Fruin, Jerry and Dorothy Pospisil, Mel and Lois Long and Michael Brody and Marili McFawn.

    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Monday - 11/25/2024 - 07:00 PM

    GAINESVILLE — This week’s Florida-Florida State game is about as personal as it gets for Gators sophomore safety Jordan Castell. The former West Orange standout grew up in a family of Seminoles fans, with his trash-talking grandmother Dessie the ring leader. Florida’s Shemar James (6) and Jordan Castell (14) rejoice over an incomplete pass intended for LSU’s Mason Taylor during a 27-16 win in Gainesville.

  • Chris Perkins: Is Grier or McDaniel responsible for Dolphins’ backup QB situation? Here’s what McDaniel said
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Monday - 11/25/2024 - 06:17 PM

    MIAMI GARDENS — I don’t know how the Miami Dolphins got into this troubling situation with their backup quarterback, Skylar Thompson, who was benched after two plays in Sunday’s 34-15 win over the New England Patriots.  But it raises a bigger question: Who is in charge of the Dolphins’ 53-man roster, Chris Grier, the general manager, or Mike McDaniel, the coach? “I think by the letter of the law, Chris Grier is the man,” McDaniel said Monday.
