    Our hearts are filled with love from the life of my uncle . There are so many memories of time spent with him. We shared a special bond. The love of God always showed through him to those fortunate enough to be touched by his life. I am so thankful to my Aunt Jimmie at the love she had given to all who enter her home. My deepest sympathy to all the Morrow Family and friends… I will miss my Uncle so much. He gave me the best of him… and loved me like no other . May he rejoice in heaven and rest in peace. Love , Ken, Amy, Tiffany & Taryn Berkowitz

    My heart goes out to the entire Morrow family over the loss of this great man. I only met him a couple of times … but I say “great” man because his son, Steve, is of the same honorable caliber and is truly a reflection of Gerard. I worked with Steve for many years and I truly feel there is no finer man walking this earth today than Steve. So the many blessings of this father’s kind spirit lives on through his family. May he be remembered in all our hearts!

    So sorry for your loss. I work with Steve at Tyler Junior College and only spoke with his Dad a couple of times several years ago. Everybody at the College sends our warmest regards and condolences.

    I’m so sorry you are experiencing the sadness and grief of losing your dad. We’re never ready no matter how mature we are or how strong our faith. Even knowing he’s with the Lord in Paradise it still hurts like the devil to be on earth without him. Warm hugs to you and Angie, Jr.

"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!!"
