    It is very tragic when a child dies before their parents. My sympathies are with Lizzie and her parents as I have felt the loss of a child and my daughter lost her sister.

    So sorry to hear of Diana’s passing. We worked together at MetroPCS. She was a real professional and great to work with, but you could tell her family was most important to her, and for that I respected her even more. Condolences to the family.

    Your beautiful light touched my soul the day I met you. I remember you saying that you thought I was so strong. I remember thinking to myself ” If she only knew”. Your own strength is all I ever saw when I was around you my friend. May you rest in peace and may your legacy of hope be carried out for years to come. Diana, you will be missed.

    This is truly a sad and heartbreaking loss. Diana was kind, motivated, and positive. She had the best advice and stories to make you laugh for hours. Never a frown on her face, Diana was always smiling. She will be missed tremendously. Rest in peace beautiful angel.

    I first met Diana when she was a little girl one Christmas eve many years ago. Diana and her younger sister, Elizabeth, were the daughters of my fiancé’s sister, Sylvia, and her husband, Earnest. I was privileged to meet this remarkable family and watch Diana mature into an outgoing, confident and beautiful young woman. My late wife and Diana actually worked at Mary Kay for a few years at the same time. Aunt and niece would sometimes pass in the halls and stop to hug and share family updates. Both are gone now long before their time, and the world is a much poorer place for it.

    Prayers of support and much love for Sylvia, Earnie, Elizabeth, Logan and Lauren.

    My deepest sympathies to all of you, especially Logan and Lauren on Diana’s passing. Though we hand’t spoken in a while, Diana and I had many long “kid update” conversations. You are all in my prayers.

"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!!"
