    So sad to hear. I performed with Syd at Six Flags Over Texas in 1983. Haven’t seen her since – but I will always remember her elegance; red lipstick; laugh; and Prince posters! It was wonderful sharing the stage with that smile. RIP Syd…♥

    Sydney was my dance partner and friend at Six Flag Over Texas. We had some amazing times together and she was truly one of a kind. We went on to do many shows together and became wonderful friends. A talented and beautiful soul with a quick wit and a heartwarming laugh. I loved her and will miss her. My deepest sympathy to her family.

    Sydney McBeth was a talented artist and woman of character. She will be missed by all who were warmed by her kind and generous heart and those lucky enough to be blessed the light of her sweet smile. I remember her always trying to do her best on the little aspects of our stage shows. She loved every part of show business -especially make-up and costuming. As a footnote, her former boyfriend helped create the artwork for the cover of our hit Christmas Album Cassette. I will miss you Sydney and know we will meet again one day!

    I worked with Sydney at Magic Time Machine. She was so much fun and so beautiful and talented. She was so kind and funny. I am so sorry she was taken at such a young age.

    I hadn’t seen Sydney for many years but she was definitely a person you would not forget. Great smile, loved her laugh (very distinct) and she loved to do fun things. She was my roommate for a brief time while working at Six Flags over TX and she will be missed.

"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!!"
