    Jill was the type of person that brightened up your Day just because you ran into her at the Grocery store. Always a smile on her face and something positive and interesting to say. What a beautiful Soul!!! I am blessed to have been able to call her my friend!

    My heart goes out to your family. I’ve known Jill for close to 50 yrs. We grew up across Watererview from each other and she was one of my sister’s closest friends. I always will remember Jill with a smiling face and never a negative thing to say about anyone. She was a true angel.

    A couple of RHS reunions ago Jill told me she was a avid tennis player. She knew I was in the tennis business and a teaching professional, so I hope the family does not mind when I get to heaven that they let me hit some tennis balls with her. There is tennis in heaven! So fill to me the parting glass, goodnight and joy be with you all. My God bless and comfort you.

    I am so saddened to hear about your loss. Jill was a sorority sister of mine. The picture you posted is exactly how I remember her – smiling and full of life! She had a special flair about her and everytime anyone who knew her thinks of her will remember her smile and sweet personality. She is a special angel.

    Many blessings for Jill’s family as you go through these difficult times. I’m very thankful you all have such wonderful memories and faith to lean on. Jill was a true lady and someone our the entire RHS school looked up to as a roll model. She will be greatly missed. Prayers for each of 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!!"
