On the Verge of Marriage
There were no exchanges of "I do." No cake was cut, with a slice saved to store in the freezer for the first anniversary. And there was no dance to the couple's favorite song. The guests simply looked at photographs and talked about possibilities at a banquet hall in Caldwell, N.J., on Oct. 19.
Karen Carlucci had called a small group of friends and relatives together to memorialize a wedding that never was.
Her fiancé, Peter Christopher Frank, was a vice president and financial analyst for Fred Alger & Co. on the 93rd floor of 1 World Trade Center.
"It was going to be our wedding day and I just couldn't pretend that it wasn't anything," Ms. Carlucci said of that October day. "I had to do something. I think it was helpful, not just for me, but for everybody."
Mr. Frank and Ms. Carlucci, both 29, were looking forward to buying an apartment in Greenwich Village, where they had lived in a rental for two and a half years with their 7-year-old fawn-colored boxer, Chavez.
Six-foot-two, with a slim athletic build, Mr. Frank was the consummate team player on the athletic field and in the boardroom, said his mother, Constance Frank. He was dedicated to friends and family. When doctors discovered last March that his godson, Gregory Waltman, 17, had chronic myeloid leukemia, Mr. Frank stayed by his hospital bedside, whispering words of encouragement, Mrs. Frank said. "Greg, you can get better," Mr. Frank said, according to his mother. "You can get out of this bed. Let's do it."

One year as freshman roommates was the short time that I knew Peter. Great student and athlete and still made family time going home on the weekends.

We send our continued deep sympathy to your family. The passing of time doesn't always mean that people forget about your sad loss. Peter is still sadly missed by others.

Karen is one of my dearest friends, really a sister. From what I knew of Peter,I know he would be proud of how Karen and his family have continued to champion on. And thrive.
Peter, no time can erase the memory and impact you continue to have to all that were lucky to know you.
Your presence has gone through me
like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color. -W.S. Merwin, poet

I still remember the first night you and Karen met...I was rooting for your from the very start. And I loved watching your love grow and in the process becoming great friends. I still have the piece of bark from the Amazon you gave me before I left for my overseas adventures 17 years ago for luck. It has served me well and kept me safe as you promised. You are deeply missed...but your bright, loving and adventurous spirt lives on in all of us in so many ways. Rest in peace my friend.

Rest In Peace, Peter.
I'll try to be the husband and friend to Karen as, from what I've come to learn, appreciate and respect, I know you would have been.
