    I met Elaine at the very 1st ladies retreat I ever attended in 2008, she asked if she could ride to the store with me and when I said sure but I have a convertible firebird are you okay with that? she said sure am, we had a blast that weekend and became friends from that day forward and we shared many days together laughing, crying and sharing stories of our children, she was someone I could easily talk to. Elaine was full of life and although i may not of known her as long as others she certainly will be missed by me greatly! Well Elaine, now you can ask him all those things you’ve wanted to ask…See you on the otherside my friend.

    So very sorry for your loss. My husband, Joe, and I have known Elaine for several years. She was a very sweet and kind person. I believe everyone she met was immediately touched by her sweet spirit. She will be missed. Our prayers and deepest sympathies for your loss.

    Sarah, I’m so sorry to hear.I just got the notice.What a shock! I just saw her, about a month ago.She was a beautiful woman, both inside and out. We had a lot of fun, in our younger days. She was fun! Sorry I missed the memorial, I would have come, had I known. She loved God, deeply, and I’m positive she is in a much happier place. Save me a seat, sweetie. I look forward to seeing you.

    Elaine was the dearest and most precious friend I’ve known at Potter’s Wheel Ministries. She was always gentle and kind. I miss her memory now when I think of 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!!"
