A legacy: Leah O’Brien of Cat Island
Timothy 1:3-5: 3 I give thanks to God, whom I serve with a clear conscience, as my ancestors did.

THE KDK REPORT: My solemn vow
WHEN two people choose to marry and unite their lives into one, they make a legally binding contractual commitment to be together and love one another from that day forward, in sickness and in health.
