    it’s me again Meemaw…I have known and loved you since I was 7 yrs old. You were my 2nd mom and between the two of you a little girl was never so loved or cherished. I miss you already so much. I hate that you suffered even a tiny bit but you handled yourself with such grace. You are one of the most generous and giving people I have ever known. RIP

    Wifey,

    Our relationship was a storybook of love. You always did whatever you could to enhance our marriage, breakfast in bed, specially planned trips, always a pot cooking on the stove to be sure I was fed. We always spent quality time together. We understood each other and were the very best of friends. You played a tremendous role in me being the person I am today because I watched how you cared for those you cared about. I will forever cherish my time with you and you are always in my heart. You are at peace now. I love you dearly. Your Daddy-O

    I was deeply saddened to hear that my cousin Sherry had departed this earth. You had the most beautiful smile and you seemed to have kept a big smile on cousin David’s face when you were feeling your best. We never know that day nor the hour that the Lord calls us home. But my only solace is to know that He makes no mistakes. I continue to pray for David although I’m sure you will be watching over him. Sending much LOVE to the Ross’ from the Shirley’s.

    I can’t tell you how sorry I am to hear of Sherry’s passing. The first thing I said when I saw her picture was ‘Oh my gosh, she looks so young!’ My heart goes out to you David.

    Dear David,

    I offer my most heartfelt prayers to all of you. I recall Sherry’s big personality and the time you and she visited my home. She was the power player in the room and the voice of great energy. I can only imagine how great the loss is but surely the gifts she shared will be of comfort to you and all who knew her. God Bless you all.

    Wow………..!!! You never get ready to say good bye to someone who was so full of life. It has been some time since we were with you and David, laughing about spilled water and your flair for making sure that you let us all know how jacked up that was… We know that you can rest now Sherry. No more dealing with life’s inconveniences. We know David misses you. There was such a twinkle in his eyes whenever he would look at you because he knew he had “the fairest of them all.” That is what love gave both of you. We regret not getting a chance to see you and hear your voice one more time. We love you Sherry and will forever keep our memories of you close to us. David, just know that we are here, my friend. Be encouraged.

    Dear Sherry and David
    I address the two of you as one as it seemed the way you were.Sherry had great strength.The time she was sick was long considering the sickness she had,but was short to us because she was so upbeat when we saw her.She always seemed to enjoy what was presented even if she was on the other side of the issue.She took strength in the fact that “David takes such good care of me”David did until the end.
    Good bye Sherry.I’ll miss you and the red wine wont be as good without you.The last verse of the Rubiayat seems to mirror your thought about life and death.”Where I made one-turn down an empty glass.”
    Love to you both,
    Dad and Mom

    Sherry, my sister Gwen and I will always remember the Sunday afternoons spent visiting with you and Michelle at the Jones house. Even as a kid, you were smart, sassy with a great sense of humor. You grew up to be a smart, sassy adult with a great sense of humor. My condolences to your husband and family. You will be missed. You were one of a kind.

"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!!"
