    Teresa and I carpooled to TJ for several years and we’re good friends. The weeks Mrs. Parel like drove, Teresa was always running late. That was My sweet friend. She was a beautiful lady, always smiling. I wish we hadn’t lost contact. Her family is in my prayers. As my heart is so sad I rejoice knowing she is smiling in Heaven.

    May God bless you with your wonderful memories to fill your heart of sorrow. Teresa’s smile is implanted in my mind. No more pain and suffering in her worldly flesh. Thank you Lord for having mercy. May we all love each other a little stronger in honor of her.

    So shocked to hear of Teresa’s passing. It has been several years since I last spoke with Teresa, but have known and loved her for close to 30 years. We had some really great times together and I considered her a true friend. My prayers are with Rachel and all of her family. God bless you all.

    I loved Theresa Parelli!!! Loved her name and the precious and happy person that she was. I was one of her St Monica pals. I am truly sorry for Theresa’s family for your loss of a one of a kind person. She was an earth angel.

    So sad to have discovered the news of Teresa’s passing. We were classmates and friends at St. Monica my only year there before moving on to Jesuit. She had crossed my mind many times over the years and I always pictured her beaming smile. Please accept my very belated condolences. I pray that calm and peace have found each of you who loved 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!!"
