    To Colby and the entire Mah family,

    Preston and I are heartbroken to hear this. Not only was Norman a neighbor and a wonder at IT who worked his magic for our company computers many times, he was also kind and funny and always energetic! I remember him recalling with great joy the events of Colby and Brittany’s wedding and telling me stories about Colby when he was a child. Especially to our dear Colby who we love so much, our sincerest sympathies and thoughts.

    Sad news indeed. Norm was a great guy, goofy and IT master. He loved the pictures from my holidays and when he was around he always asked me to show him some. He will be missed. Godspeed.

    Joyce and Family, please accept our deepest condolences on your loss. Norm was a terrific guy and we have wonderful memories of the times we spent together. Always a big smile on his face, except when his computer crashed; then it became bigger, ’cause he knew he could fix it. Our thoughts and well wishes are with you.

    There are no words that fully express our sadness with the passing of Norm. We have such amazing memories of him. Norm was incredibly kind-hearted with a willingness to help anyone in needs. We affectionately still remember his great sense of humour during the many dinners at your North Vancouver home. Norm made every dinner party fun. May the warm memories of Norm be a comfort to you and your family. Our deepest sympathy – Jean and Tony Wong

    Dear Joyce, Calvin, Colby and family. I am so sorry for the heartache you are suffering right now because of the loss of your beloved Norman. My memories of Norman will always be that he loved you all so very much. He was always so energetic and happy to do for others, but he could not wait to get home to his family. Thank you so much for your sacrifice to let him spend time with all of us – his friends, colleagues and customers. He taught us and loved us; we hurt with you and we will never be able to thank you enough for sharing his life with us. He impacted each of us and made us better than who we were before we met him. Courtland and I especially want you to know that Ceutical Labs will always be available to you in any way. We could not be where we are today as a business if it weren’t for Norman’s love and generosity for us. We realize that it is so hard for you right now to have joy and celebration for Norman’s life, but we will continue to ask The Lord to place His loving arms around each of you and we will lift you in continuous prayer. We are so honored and blessed to have been Norman’s friends and hope you will reach out to us if you need us at anytime. Please just know you are all loved. God bless you. I love you sooooooo much. Susie

"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!!"
