Memories and Condolences
for Dorothy Martin
Margaret Argenbright
June 6, 2010
My name is Margaret (Marge) Pratt Argenbright. My Mother was Myrtle (S is) Oliver - Dot's sister. I had an Aunt waiting for me - a pretty little 4 year old with strawberry blond hair named Dorothy Mae. My sister, Mary, joined Dot and me 15 months later. We were playmates, playing school and having picnics with real Kool Aid and mud pies! The three of us have maintained a close relationship all of our lives. When the time comes Mary and I will join Dot. She will have the Kool Aid - Mary and I will bring the "mud pies". She will be missed so very much.

Momma Martin, I was blessed to have you as my mother-in-law. You treated me as a daughter not a daughter-in-law. I will love & miss you always. You will always be in my heart. You are finally resting in peace & no longer feeling any pain.

I was lucky to have my Grandma in my life as long as I did. I will always remember her for her jokes and the big hugs she always gave me. I know she is in a better place now and she is with the loved ones she had lost. We will always love and miss her!
