Happy Mother’s Day To Jennifer Pauley Ray
"We took a chance on each other early in life and formed our wonderful family."
In celebration of Mother's Day on Sunday May 13, we asked Patch readers to write a letter to their mother and let us deliver it. This is Joshua Allen Ray's letter to his wife:
I would like to honor this amazing mother of six. First, she married me, a Marines veteran, when we were age 19. We took a chance on each other early in life and formed our wonderful family.
This beautiful person has given her all to shaping and raising her squad. Her oldest son continues to excel in academics and sports. Her oldest daughter is definitely going to be a CEO some day. Her third, a wonderful daughter, is so full of love and life. Her fourth, an amazing daughter, has incredible strength and intelligence. Her fifth, a daughter, has the most beautiful smile and gentleness. Her sixth is a boy who definitely stole her heart.
Thank you to my wonderful amazing wife and the mother of my children. You are a blessing and a gift to our family.
—Joshua Allen Ray
