    This past week has been incredibly difficult for me and my family, having to say goodbye to my Memom before we were ready to say goodbye. I can’t even put into words how much Memom meant to me. I always felt loved and special when I was around her; she was one of my favorite people! Some of my best memories are with her and I’m so grateful for all of the beautiful memories she left me. She always made us root beer floats when we had sleepovers or made us a bubble bath with bubbles that went up so high. We played hide and seek and she always helped me find the best hiding places or give me hints where others were hiding. We would talk on our car rides home after she would pick me up from practice, which usually meant a lot of laughing. Go shopping at “kissiana mall”, help us hunt Easter eggs, pick vegetables in the garden, bake cookies, play play-doh, help us draw, play cabbage patch kids and so many many things. When I got older and had my own children she became the best great-grandmother or “nanny” as my children call her. My girls absolutely adore their nanny and have so many of their own wonderful memories. I love you so much Memom and I always will, forever your Winsy.

    I not only lost my mother I lost my best friend. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do is to say goodbye. I have so many wonderful moments with my mom. She always was there for me anytime, I didn’t even have to ask. She was always doing for us and never worried about herself. She always put everyone first. She was such a loving grandmother to my children. She did so many things with them and they loved spending time with her. She left them with such great memories. Then she became a great-grandmother, it was like the best thing that could of happened to her. These children were blessed to have her in their life and will always have her in their heart. I will miss you Mom and Love You with all my heart. I will keep our moments close and memories forever. Till we meet again, Your Baby Girl.

    I love my Nanny with all my heart. She’s my favorite person in this whole universe. To see her go breaks my heart, but I know she’s in a better place. When I was really little we would throw rotten apples off her and my Poppy’s apple tree. So many amazing memories, I can’t even put into words. From playing dress up to Shirley Temple and changing for every song (even if the dog had to dress up too), being pulled around in the wagon with her dog, Heidi, chasing us in the back, baking tons!, pinky promising, cooking breakfast in the mornings with “Taylor’s eggy” and “Nanny’s Noodles” for lunch. She always knew how I liked everything, my eggs with strawberry jelly and light toast, my noodles with butter and salt on them. Playing doctor in the bathroom and using a whole box of band-aids on one cabbage patch doll, and so much more from when I was little. As I got older our bond only grew. Even though we grew distant in miles our hearts were as close as ever. When she came up here to Maryland to visit us, she would always leave behind cute notes saying how much she had fun playing with me . She would also leave behind a shirt she packed in her suitcase. I would keep her all to myself, I was glued to her side. I didn’t need all of those letters or shirts to remind me of how much she loved me or that she was always there. She was my go to person to talk to. We would talk on the phone either every Wednesday or Thursday right after school. Them we would call on Sundays. She would always know it was me when she heard my voice. She would answer with “hello my beautiful gorgeous darling” and her scent was Moonlight Path from Bath and Body Works. And you can’t forget our trips to Rehoboth for Thrasher’s french fries or to the mall for our smoothies. The memories go on and on and they will be forever remembered and treasured in my heart. I love you Nanny. You may not have known this but you are my role model. I miss you everyday and I always will I love you to the moon and back Nanny <3

"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!!"
