    I am so sorry for your loss to Pam’s Family and friends. I got to know Pam from Crochet Mamas on MSN. She got me to broaden my horizens and learn new things in crochet. For that I am grateful and for her patience. I enjoyed her group immensely. My group name was TallGirl or TallGirlBrenda as I followed her groups around when MSN went down. She will always be a part of me and remembered for her love of Crochet. In Sympathy, Brenda

    Thank you to those who have already left comments. Pam was a wonderful woman whom I dearly loved and will miss tremendously. She loved crochet and I enjoyed watching her really light up when she worked on crochet projects, She also loved helping others who wanted to learn and she also learned a lot from others. Pam talked a lot about trying to meet in person most in the groups. We lost a very talented and loving woman. God has an amazing angel now.

    I was part of Crochet Fun With Pam… and it was… fun to crochet and hang out online with Pam. She was kind, fair, and thoughtful… talented and generous with her time. She will be missed by friends far from her home in Texas. We will be thinking of her every time we pick up a crochet hook.

    I have missed Pam greatly since she has been sick. I shall continue to do so. Pam inspired so many of us, not only in crochet but in life in general. As a Crochet Mama, I really miss our group and the camaraderie we shared. I am like Marge, I am so grateful that she no longer has to endure the pain. Thank you Pam, for all you gave me, never looking for anything yourself!!

    Pam was a wonderful mentor and friend and teacher. I am so thankful I met her when I found her crochet group on MSN. Pam encouraged me and took me under her wing. She wanted me to learn to crochet with thread. I did not think that was possible. Pam knew it was possible for me to learn and often told me I would love it if I learned. She was so right to encourage me. I did love thread crochet. I think of her when I am making a crochet doily with thread. I learned so much about Crochet and made some wonderful friendships in her group. I was blessed to have such wonderful friend in my life – Pam.

    I will always think of Pam when I hear about the Texas State Fair. All ribbons she won over the years. The work she put into her entries and the joy she got from winning those ribbons.

    My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.

    Pam was one of those ladies you just instantly liked! She was a great lady, crocheter, and friend to those she hadn’t ever met, but knew through her online crochet group. I am deeply saddened to know she is no longer with us!

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
