    You were a special one! One we all loved because you brought happiness and joy wherever you went. Your voice was angelic and your friendship never ending. You loved your children unconditionally and it always showed they were your light. We will miss you so much. We will watch over your family because that is what extended “Panther” family members do. Until we see each other again, rest peacefully friend.

    What a beautiful spirit and personality you had. Even when we were young ladies I knew that you would grow up and be something that all ladies would adore and love. You will truly be missed. Very thankful for having you in my life even at 12 years old. You were so kind and my family and I will miss you dearly.

    Freda was that ride-or-die friend who answered anytime that I asked for a favor. She helped me coach our daughters’ cheer squad, cooked a huge spread when both of my kids were born, taught me gardening and was that ray of sunshine at all times! We enjoyed times together on her family’s boat and she opened up her home to everyone and threw some of the most fun parties. I’m going to miss her free spirit and beautiful soul. RIP “Free Free”

    I won’t complain! Freda it was always a pleasure talking with you and laughing continuously. You never complained to my ears. You always speak on how beautiful your boy and girl are. Thank you for being Freda. I will never forget you it’s highly impossible. In the words of Ericka Badu, I’ll see you next life time. In Jesus I Pray Amen and Amen. Fly…fly…fly…❤

    My sincere condolences. I was Freda’s talent agent for 15 years and she was a beautiful and lovely person. We have a tribute to her on the Campbell Agency facebook page as well. I hope you find comfort in knowing how much she was respected and treasured by the talent world.

    My deepest condolences to.the family. Freda was a bud of mine for many years. Both our Bdays in March. We had decided not to do our annual dinner due to Covid. Jenava was one of my flower girls. I’m still in shock by this news. Freda was a great person, friend & Mom. A bright light was taken too soon.

    It all makes sense now but it didn’t on November 30, 2020.
    You were sent here to help us all understand that angels do exist here on earth. You were my protector and inspired me from the time we met in high-school. You were my angel even when we took that 4 day cruise to the Bahamas and you used your cellphone to record me chasing my flip-flop into the Atlantic Ocean. Oh what I would do to hear you laugh one more time or maybe talk to you for hours on the phone again.
    I can’t wait to see you again on the other side. My condolences to the family and may God keep you all in perfect peace.

    When I think of free spirits you are the first person to come to mind. You lived fearlessly and were such a joy and inspiration. Some of my fondest memories were orchestrated by you or shared with you and I will never forget you. My deepest condolences to all of your fiends and family. Rest in power

    God has a sense of humor just like Freda! I met Freda as a young girl, I don’t know if she remembered. She was a cheerleader at the rival school but both somehow their cheerleaders would help us as well. All I’ve ever known her to be was a leader and entertainer. Her smile has always been priceless.

    I became her little sisters friend but never had the opportunity to really know Freda as much. Well, in 2019 I finally got the opportunity and the 2 or 3 times we did hang BOY I will never forget. She left an impression. We had a blast, left no stones unturned…lol That’s how I will remember Freda! I know she is either resting well or having a ball, either way God has her because she was a beautiful soul! To the family, you guys were so blessed and lucky to have her in your life and family. I pray you continue to receive and believe her blessings and find peace. Love you guys!!

"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!!"
