"Dear Dave and Family, It was a sad moment when I opened the Press Gazette and read of Joan's passing! What a wonderful thoughtful and loving person! I remember how she welcomed myself and Pat Haupt to our first Dental Auxiliary meetings so many years ago! Always that beautiful smile she had. Sorry for your loss! Thinking of all if you! "
"Dear Dave: Joni was an occasional bridge partner of mine. No one could ever be kinder and friendlier at the bridge table than she was. When there was a bridge tournament held in Madison several years ago Joni was kind enough to invite several of us to stay at your home during the tournament. We had a great time and remember all the great hospitality, including the perennial flower plants you shared with each of us. My sincere sympathy to you and all the family. She will be missed by so many. "
"My prayers and blessing and thoughts and strength to you Dr Boville - I remember working with your wife at your dental office off of Lombardi Avenue - she was the kindest warmest and loving person I have met - she was so nice to me as I was the receptionist for you and I pray God comforts you and your family in your time of grief - "
"David and family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of your loss. "
"Dr. Boville & Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Remembering the times I worked with Dr. and Joan as a dental assistant on Ninth St. and the time we brought our new baby to your home and played with the ducks. "
"What wonderful neighbor's to have right next us....The Boville's. From remembering your large bell on the side of your house, to sledding down the hill, swinging on your swing in the front yard, smelt fishing, the memories are all fun and wonderful! Mrs. Boville was always welcoming, kind, and had that wonderful smile of hers. I am so sorry for the loss of your wife/mom. My prayers are with you all during this time of sorrow. Love to you all! Betsy Czech Norby"
"The Bovilles were our next door neighbors.wonderful neighbors. Dr. and Mrs. Boville were welcoming,gracious and generous. Some of the many memories I have is being invited over to their house on Christmas Eve after mass and being asked to join the family for trips to the cabin in Hayward and to the deer camp. Joni(Mrs. Boville) was a very nice.funny,welcoming lady to all who knocked on their door. I also remember her faith in God. How I wish I could be there in Green Bay to see the family. My sympathies to Dr.Dave,Sylvie,Dan,Mitchel,and Bette. "
"My condolences for your lost. May you find comfort from family, friends, and the "God of all comfort" "He is giving support to all who are falling and is raising up all who are bowed down" (Ps 145:14) May he sustain you until the day that death is swallowed up forever."
"Mrs Boville was always so warm and kind to me. As a child I can remember being invited to the family cottage and having a wonderful time. I had never known a woman who actually hunted with her husband and she was always upbeat and positive. I know that she will be missed and I look forward to seeing the family and reminiscing. Marie Burgoyne"
"Growing up on Oak Crest Dr., next to our neighbors, the Boville's is one of my dearest childhood memories. I enjoyed Joni's (Mrs. Boville to me), smile and sense of humor. The best memory I have is the very generous bridal shower that Joni hosted at her house with other neighbors. I had so much fun! What a great group of women. Dear Boville family...I am so sorry for your loss. Laura Czech Anderson"
