Letter to my mom: I know I have the words, but my tears and the lump in my throat make it so hard to express my heart breaking into pieces. As you aged I found myself becoming more and more grateful for your presence. Hearing your voice, talking with you to laughing with you..your unique laugh.. oh how I’ll miss you. You were my world and despite, you not being perfect; you were and will always be perfect to me.  No matter the circumstances my heart you had and will alway have.  I thought time nor distance could never keep me from you and now time has stopped for you, so leave all the pain, disappointments, failures behind and allow me to hold all the joy, love, and memories in my heart.  I miss you so much momma. Due to the pandemic my mother’s ashes will be scattered in a private session at a later date.

    My Heart goes out to you and your family Sherlandl. I know first hand the deep pain you feel in your heart because its like apart of you has been taken away. In my opinion it has..there is nothing Greater than a Mother’s Love and just know that’s something that you can carry for the rest of your Life. Because Nothing or No One can replace the Love of a Mother.
    I Love You Sherland

    My beloved grandmother was of many qualities, but the quality I’m most grateful for is birthing my mom and (helping) care for my siblings and I. We shared many laughs, and I will forever reflect on the good times. I’m so grateful I was able to see and talk to her in her final days. Thank you to everyone who has been supportive to and for my mom. God bless you all and may my beloved grandmother Rest In Peace.

    Me and Mrs.Dee didn’t didn’t seem to see eye to eye about anything when we first met, but over the years we had a good relationship. I went from calling her Mrs Dee to Moma Dee and I still feel the same way today. I wished I could have cooked her a T-bone steak, that was one of her favorite foods. We will meet again Moma Dee.

"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!!"
