    It was always wonderful to see Jerry Sunday mornings at the FPC Chapel service and share cheerful conversation, and where he often participated, through ushering, in the worship service. His presence was always a blessing to us.

    Jerry, “Thank you for being our friend” & “Thank you for more than a few kind words.” Two things he always said to me. Thank you. You will be missed.

    Jerry, you were one of the funniest people I have ever known. Your words and sayings will forever live in all hearts you knew. You always had an encouraging word or a loving thought to leave people with. I love you. I am so proud to have known you. I look forward to seeing you again one day. God Bless and RIP sweet friend.

    Jerry was my friend for the past 28 years. No one made me laugh harder or longer than JP. His wit was quick and dry. One of the most generous people I have ever met, Jerry lived his life to the fullest extent possible. JP you will live on, in the hearts and minds of your family and friends. When people gather the stories of you are sure to bring laughter and joy to those that know you and those that never got the privilege to know you. See you on the other side my friend. Love you.

    Jerry – So grateful when you accepted Rooney as your companion. No person ever was, or will ever be you.
    Hope there is a “Mousie’s” in heaven and you are enjoying a cold one with buddies after winning a racquetball match with an angel. Loved you when you were here and forever.

"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!!"
