    My heart goes out to Garrie’s family. I am so sorry for your loss. Garrie was an integral part of our team and we will miss her tremendously. I remember how thoughtful and supportive she was and recalling her laugh puts a smile on my face. It is something I will always treasure.

    I will always remember Garrie’s humor, dedication and caring nature. I admired her. She always lit up when we talked about the old black and white movies on TMC.

    I will miss working with her but I will treasure the memories I have.

    My deepest condolences.

    I am so saddened to hear this news. Garrie was such a wonderful person. I sat in on so many of her training sessions over 17 years with Motel 6. My condolences go out to her family. She will be missed by many.

    A remarkable woman with a spirit that will live on in all who knew her and was touched by her ability to train with Accor North American and G6 Hospitality. I was blessed to have had the opportunity to be trained by her twice. She will be missed but will live forever in the hearts of all who knew her. A smile and a wink that could make a bad day seem so much better.

    Garrie was one of the kindest, nicest, and most caring people I’ve ever known and had the opportunity to work with. A shoulder to cry on and someone who would listen without judgment. She is truly missed but never forgotten. My condolences to her family and friends.

    Garrie impacted my life in so many ways. I started by calling her teacher and mentor. Over time I knew her as my advisor, collaborator, consultant, teammate and friend. I’ve relied so much on her strengths and I believe she has a chance to continue sharing those talents and strengths with others who passed on before.
    She will be missed.
    I’m blessed to have known her.

"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!!"
