Goodbye To One Of The Greatest Men, Grandpa Oral

On Saturday September 26th our grandfather Oral Birch passed away. I truly feel blessed to have known this man.When Matt and I first started to date, he couldn't wait for me to meet his Grandpa. He told me that "This is one of the greatest men you will ever meet Misty". Little did I know what an impact he would have on my life. Grandpa Oral was such an example of service, faith, and love to my family. He is a true hero, a hero for our family and to our country. Here are some of my favorite photos of Grandpa. I will miss you Grandpa....God Be with You 'Til We Meet Again, LOVE YOU!
