Barbara Murton

Who knew in 1978 when the Murtons moved to St. Louis that her daughter Shelly would become my best friend? All through high school and college I was blessed to have another family. Bobbie (Mrs. Murton as I called her then) always welcomed me with open arms. Those years were filled with lots of laughter and tears, joys and sorrows and a fair amount of confusion - which Shelly? which Sherry? Bobbie was a unique person -she felt everything with her whole heart. She was at the same time whimsical...

Mom,
I thought this would be a lot easier, knowing that I had let you go to a better place.....You were the one person that I could always count on, and that knew everything would always be okay. I miss you a lot.
Love, Sherry

Grandma, I used to love calling you and hearing your voice on the answering machine saying you were in paradise by the pool. Well Grams you really are in paradise now, I love you.

To David and Bobbie's Family my condolences and prayers are with you. Bea O'Neill Albuquerque, NM

I will miss your wise advise. Your wisdom, you sense of humor. You always knew the right thing to say/or just when to listin. You never judged, you'd just stand by and offer support or pick up the pieces. For all the times I didn't say it "Thanks Bobbie, I love you!" I will miss you greatly. Though all the years and miles apart nothing ever changed.

I'm sory to say I never met the lady, but if her daughter Sherry is anything like her, she must have been a wonderful lady. I'm sure she will be missed.

Bobbie's home was always open to friends, family, & sometimes strangers. Of course who's stranger than family.
We're glad to have been able to share a part of her life.

Bobbie was like one of my daughter's to me. I was(hopefully still am) always welcome to visit or hang around,play cards or bring in more relatives to hang. Your loving Aunty Edythe. P.S. David is always a gracious host.

It was an honour and a privilege to be Bobbie's friends. We will miss her kind and gentle nature and she will never be forgotten.Our heartfelt condolences to David and the Family.
