    Most sisters grow up together and share scraped knees, clothes, tears, music and everything else. Kris and I didn’t grow up together. We met when I was 21 and she was 29….long story

    Even though we grew up in different homes, we were the same in many ways…both of us were awesome dancers, we both made people laugh and we could tell stories till the cows came home. When we first met, she flew up to Santa Cruz from N. Hollywood and took me over to her Mother’s house to meet the woman who had given me up for adoption. Kris was always very “outspoken” and assertive. LOL

    We shared photos of each other growing up and we looked so much alike at different ages. We had gone to the same Junior and High Schools and some teachers had even asked me if I had an older sister. As far as I had known until 1976, I was the older sister in my family.

    So many memories of crazy things we did together in those early days and years. She is probably the only person who could embarrass me and she did many, many times.

    We were close in the early years then we grew apart with jobs and moves to other States. We stayed in touch but never had that same initial connection.

    When Kris moved to Texas to be closer to her daughter and granddaughter I had mixed feelings. Somehow over the years she had changed her political views and for every endorsement for her party, I had just the opposite view. As much as I would protest that we weren’t alike, we were more alike than not.

    I wish I had spent more time with her, listening to her stories..God knows she lived a very interesting life and drug me into some interesting situations. Every Christmas she would call with her demented Santa and on Thanksgiving she would do the crazy turkey.

    Kris, you will be missed. I told you while you were in the hospital that I would be here for Alycia and Jaida and I will do whatever I can for them. Rest in peace and please don’t do anything to get 86’d from Heaven. I a proud to be your sister.

    I am so sorry to hear of the your loss. Death is truly an enemy. (1 Cor 15:26) However, this verse contains the hope that we all look forward to when this enemy “will be brought to nothing.” Until that time, be assured that your pain is shared by many, including God, who makes the promise to “swallow up death in victory”. (Isaiah 25:8) May this hope comfort you in your time of grief.

    Have known Kris for nearly 40 years. Was her boss for some of the time, if anyone could ever be her boss.
    She was wonderful and caring, and always a ton of fun too.
    Glad she called me a few months ago.
    She is 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!!"
