She fought a courageous battle, kept the faith, and finished her course. Carole will always be remembered by me as a dear friend to my daughter Carla Walsh. She was a very special person whom I felt I had known for a long time from the first day I met her. I know there will be a huge gap left where she had once been, but we have to look at what she has gained. To be in the Lord’s presence is the best of all blessings. So I will not say “goodbye” to Carole, but only “so long until we meet again”.

Carole Aslanian, my dear, dear friend. I have such fond memories of us working side by side for Bergen County Technical Schools – I loved you from the moment we met. You kept me laughing with your wonderous humor even in hard times at work. We became such good friends then, and when you moved to North Carolina, I was very distressed to say the least, but we visited eachother and kept in contact over the years. You are in my heart, never to be forgotton, ever! Arthur, you’ll be in my prayers for the loss of your wonderful and funny (always looking at the bright side) wife!
With Love,

Arthur, we are all very sorry for your loss. I’m sorry I didn’t get to see you when you and Carole were up here in December, but I’m very glad you were able to visit my mom. You, Carole and Trista were of tremendous comfort to her during those trying years after Barbara died, and for that I will always be grateful.
From the first time we met you, we could see how happy you made Carole, and how much you adored her.
She is a beautiful spirit, and will always be in our hearts.

Arthur and Trista:
I needed a friend and God knew who to send right on time in my life and that was Carole. She and I hit it off right from the beginning at the little house in Pinehurst years ago! Our love for colors and decorating was Great! Not to mention our shopping trips!
Carole loved you, her family and friends.
We’d go shopping and she’d say “Arthur would like this or Trista would just love this bag!!”
Thank You Arthur for introducing me to Carole! I’ll never forgot her, my friend.
Love and Prayers
