TRIBUTE MEMOIRE TO OUR MOTHER

CLELIA BATISTA GONCALVES

Somewhere in my heart beneath all my grief and pain, is a smile I still wear at the sound of my dearest Mother voice.

The precious word is ‘MOTHER’, she was mine and my brother Paul world you see, but now our heart is breaking cause she’s no longer here with us:(

God chose her for His angel to watch all of us from above, to guide and advise the both of us always and know that we still be loved.

The day she had to leave us when her life on earth was through, God had better plans for her, for this, we surely knew.

When we think of her kind heart and all those loving years, our memories surround me and I can’t hold back the tears.

She truly was mine and my brother Paul best friend, someone we could confide in…!

…She always had a tender touch and a warm and gentle grin:)

I want to thank you Mother for teaching me so well, and though the time has come that I must bid you this farewell.

I’ll remember all you’ve taught me and make you proud you’ll see. I am so sorry for all the disappointments I might of caused you involuntary.

Thank you so much my Dear Mother for all the love you showed me…!

Although you’ve left this earth and now you’ve taken flight, we know that you are here with us each morning, noon and night, Forever & Ever in our Hearts & Always present in our Life’s.

Good Bye and Farewell my Dear Mother…!

May God Bless you & may your Soul be Safe and Rest in Peace, Mom:) We Love you Eternally with all our Hearts. Thanks Mom for Everything:)

With much Love for you My Dearest Mother, from both of us your sons that deeply Love you & all our families;

John and Paul Terenas

    John and Paul, I am truly sorry for your loss. John, I had the pleasure to work with you for a little while, and I will always remember the joy you had in your eyes whenever you would talk about your mother. Mother’s are certainly one of a kind, and placed here to nurture each of us. Please know that I know your pain personally, and taking it day by day has been my saving grace. Remember the great moments, she will always be with you! Someday you shall reunite and there will be more tears of joy! Praying for each of you and your families. God Loves You!!

    I met Mae at her son’s birthday party several years ago. Even though it was Paul’s birthday she was the life of the party because not only can her son have his mom with him on his birthday but have one that was a so unforgettable. She would come and visit and I enjoyed each visit. She had a life and a smile every time I saw her. She lit me up. she enjoyed life with us at Hunters Glenn because she was not only Paul’s mom she was our Mae. Your laugh, your smile and you love will be dearly missed. I ADORE YOU

"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!!"
