This is the obit for my better dad. He treated my mom better than my sperm donor EVER did. Ray might not have never went to meetings, but that didn't mean he wasn't spiritual and 2 weeks before he died he had my mom call the workers. My mom has decided to go back to meetings. Please pray for her as this has been a devastating blow. We will all miss him soo much! The workers did a real nice funeral. Here is also the link so you can sign his guest book. Some of you probably knew my mom I know Paul Abenroth did and others too her name was Shirley Wise and she married Ken Weeks and had me and my brother and then she married my better dad Ray and he was just so awesome! Anyway please let her know that you care
