    Karen and family – you have our sympathy on the loss of your mother. She was a fine person and had a positive impact on both my life and my wife’s life. She taught me in 3rd grade at Erick and my wife Barbara in 7-12 at Sweetwater. May God comfort all of you during this time.

    Karen, Jana, Prock family, I’m so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Prock was one of my favorite teachers at Sweetwater. She had me well prepared for college English and that helped in my other classes too. She influenced my life in many ways and is someone I will remember all of my life.

    Mrs. Mabel Prock was truly a wonderful person and a great teacher. I have always remembered her warm smile and her genuine interest in every student. The world would be much richer if more teachers were as caring and knowledgeable as she. I am very happy to have been in her English class during my senior year in 1959 at Sweetwater High School.

    Karen and Jana.
    I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Your Mother taught me English in Sweetwater. She had a tremendous influence on my life. I thought she was the toughest teacher in the world and complained constantly. But she saved me in college. I was told that freshman English caused more college dropouts than any course. It was a breeze thanks to her. I did tell her that later. No one in college believed my stories abo,ut how she forced you to do your best. So I once turned
    in a theme she graded as a c+. Got an A. This paragraph would probably get a c. A great lady.

"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!!"
