Rest in peace, Nana.
Will always remember you as the sweet Nana you were. I get my passion for animals from you. Hope to make you proud as I continue to work with animals.

My deepest sympathy to the Moulton family for the loss of your matriarch Barbara. Her compassion for animals reveals much about the caring person she was. God Bless her and the rest of the Moulton family during these difficult days.
Dear M,
Such a gentle, sweet lady!
Love,
Maryanne
I am so sorry for your loss. Barbara was a pioneer in animal rescue, and a founder of the Milton Animal League. We had hoped she could join us to cut the ribbon on a new shelter one day soon, but we know she will be there in spirit. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her, including everyone at the Milton Animal League. Linda Palmer, President, MAL
Dear Moulton Family,
I was sorry to read of my old friend’s death, but happy that she will not be suffering any longer. I enjoyed your mother’s company during my time as the Town Clerk and her Thousand of Volunteer hours on behalf of the Town of Milton and the Milton Animal League. We shared many laughs and a great friendship. Wish I could attend the service tomorrow. However, when I think of Mrs. Moulton in the future I will remember her very fondly and I will have a smile.
Sincerely,
James G. Mullen, Jr.
Milton Town Clerk
1976 – 2012
