    Diane, or Granny, as my children think of her will be greatly missed. She had a ready smile and a big hug for those she loved.
    Our only comfort is to know she is free from pain and with the lord.

    To the family of my bowling partner, Marjorie Diane Fought; Matt 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn; For they shall be comforted.. There is no doubt in my mind that you are mourning, but God said He would never leave you nor forske you and I want you to know that your love one was an inspiration to US all in how she stood strong in her faith and she never complained about what had beset her but instead she would tell me she wanted the will of the Lord to be done and I know she wasn’t afraid but waiting to meet her Maker, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ !!! I will always remember my friend, Diane as I thought much about her on yesterday because my dad, passed away 6 yrs ago on Jan 8th early in the morning on a Friday too!! As I though about her on yesterday, I thought about how she fought a good fight of faith and that her last name Fought was not a coincidence but was given to a woman of God that really lived up to her name. She was a wonderful lady and I enjoyed bowling with her knowing that the Lord had blessed me to be a part of her team with such beautiful ladies Linda, Sheila, & Diane. She is dancing around the throne of God where there is no more Pain !!! May you and my dad get to know each other Diane !! You are in my prayers!!

    Diane was truly a unique and wonderful woman and she will definitely be missed. Her example of a positive spirit in times of adversity was amazing. No one could make me laugh like she could. I know these days to come will be hard and we will lift you up in prayer and you come to terms with this loss from your lives. She would want to hear your laughter even in your sadness. She loved her family so much. God’s mercy on you all and may His peace fall over you like a cloak.

    My heartfelt condolences to Diane’s family. I have known and bowled with Diane for several years. All of us will miss her very much, but knowing how she has suffered, we know she is in a better place; no more pain. May God be with you “kids” and the rest of her family in your sorrow.

    Knowing Diane as our bowling treasurer allowed us to see her as a woman who didn’t complain about the mistakes we might make with money. But, watching Diane handle cancer allowed us to see a woman who still didn’t complain but trusted in God! She was an inspiration for all of us! She always said before she ended a conversation, “I love you” and she meant it! May the peace of Christ that surpasses all understanding be with each one of her loved ones!

"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!!"
