    I had the pleasure of working with Tunisa ❤ at Ross. She would come in and do Our Cash Office. She was Very Smart, Funny and a Hard worker at all that She did. We would talk about Our Families and make Jokes about how needy kid’s could be and expensive. When I received the call about Her I was shocked and couldn’t do anything but cry. Still feels unreal and still can’t understand “Why!” I looked forward to the weekend mornings just to see Her. To Her Family I send My Deepest Sympathy and Sending Love and Healing to You All. Rest Easy Sweetie

    Wow my Nai Nai is gone. She was the 1st to call me Unkie Dike and then Isha followed. I’m going to miss you. When you moved away it was a strange but I could call and check on you, but now you’ve moved farther and I don’t have your new number but know that you’re not going to be soon forgotten. Love you always…your favorite Unkie Dike.

    Rachanai, it’s hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that you are resting in eternal peace. You were the definition of a true friend. We started this journey in Headstart and remained tight throughout the years. We have been down for one another through ups and downs. You always shot from the hip not caring how I felt. You were so intelligent and always willing to help your fellow classmates solve any problems that we may have had. It’s so much I can say about you friend. I am going to miss calling you and asking you to pick me up from the airport! I will always cherish the times we shared throughout the years and our genuine friendship and love for one another. My world has been shattered but I trust that God needed you more. Get your rest my friend and I will see you on the other side.

    There are no words to explain this loss everyone shares. Prayers to her Son, Mother and Sisters. May God comfort the Davis Family. Our last talk was in Brooklyn when she came home for a funeral. We stood outside laughing and talking never knowing this was the last time. Get your rest. Nai Nai you will be missed.

"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!!"
