So, if you are reading this I am probably dead, finally! After fourteen years of living with the blessings of bone marrow cancer, my Father in Heaven would like me to serve on the other side of the veil. My angel wife, VaLee Loertscher Wright, has made my life a heaven on earth along with our eight wonderful children who have chosen happiness through following the gospel plan. I have loved working with our children in the plumbing trade. Our oldest son Todd Jared chose to be sealed to Lodema Smith for time and all eternity and have given us 4 beautiful grandchildren (so far). Our son Tad Jeffery is sealed to our daughter-in-law Destiny Glover, and our granddaughter Adelaide is a joy in our lives. Our daughter Teddy just finished college and is an elementary school teacher. Tanner Janson was recently sealed to Jennifer Breithaupt. Travis Jameson returned with honor from the England Leeds Mission. Our youngest son Trenton is serving in the California, San Jose mission. I have been blessed through the power of the priesthood to be here to raise our beautiful daughters, Tiara and Taffy. I consider living with cancer a blessing because it has helped me love people more, put my priorities straight in my life and draw closer to my Savior. I lost my fear of death a long time ago when I went into end stage renal failure and found out what happens when your spirit leaves your body. It is just like you wake up; that my life is a dream, and the life after this is reality. If you want to know more about it contact the LDS missionaries at Mormon.org. They would love to talk to you! My dying wish #58 is that I die on my birthday, done. My last words are these, God, Our father lives and loves each of us. He knows us personally by name and wants our happiness. Jesus Christ is our Redeemer and atoned for our sins and sorrows. The Book of Mormon is the word of God to us in these the latter days. Joseph Smith truly translated the golden plates as he said he did, and Thomas S. Monson is God’s mouthpiece to the world today. Follow his words and you will find true happiness as I have. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
