    I was so very saddened to hear that Trisha had passed. I did not expect it. Although we were not best friends we were bonded in childhood while attending St. Rita’s in Dallas. Over the many years we crossed paths and I always said goodbye thinking she is such a kind and funny woman with a sweet spirit. She will fit right in when she arrives in heaven.

    Cousin Tricia, So many memories. Some my earliest memories of Dallas are of playing tag, games and with your kittens at your home. Your were always kind and patient with your young cousin. Thank You for being so kind and welcoming to my wife Patricia when she joined our family. It is difficult to accept that you have left us so soon. Patricia and I pray for you and your family.

    Dear Swenson/Heraty families, I am so shocked and saddened to hear about Tricia. Tricia and I kept in touch. She was my computer guru. She also stepped up to help me set up the Autism Trust webpage, twitter account, etc.several years back. As children, Tricia always included me even though I was the youngest. Kick the can days in front of your house or the Moores, Tricia always kept an eye out for me. She will be dearly missed by all of us. My heart goes out to each one of you. I will keep you all in my prayers. Love, Bede

"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!!"
