To: Rita and Curtis and the Boyce Family we would like to extend our Deepest Sympathy in your loss of Joseph. You are in our Prayers, May God Be With You.
Jerry Urick
I am sorry that we cant be there. I’m not sure I can say anything that can ease your pain, but please know that you are loved and cared for.
Joe was at times stubborn and cantankerous, but those were the traits that I loved most about him. You never had to worry where you stood because he was never afraid to let you know. I also know that he had a fierce love for his family.
I don’t believe that he would want you to mourn his loss, but to celebrate his life through laughter and stories. As you tell them, he will be laughing right along side of you !
With sympathy and love,
The Urick family
G. E Swartz.
Mrs. Boyce, Frank, Curtis and family; We are so sorry for your loss of this loved man. Sincerely, Susan and Bo Swartz
