To Dr. Falk's (for that is what I always called her) immediate and extended family,
I first met Carrie in the 1960s. She was our neighbor and the mother of my brother's best friend, Steven. With the passage of time, she became so much more. She was a dear and loyal friend to both of my parents. She was a craftsperson, jewelry maker, a vegetable gardener, a film maker, an intellectual, an advocate for great causes and a person who treasured her friends. She was a provider of wisdom and of humor, an advisor during difficult times. When my father passed away in 1997, she became a guardian angel to my mother and called her every single night for COUNTLESS years, just to make sure my mother was safe. But above all, she was an adoring wife and loving mother. Nothing meant more to her than her family. I feel blessed to have enjoyed bits of her company over the last forty years. I will miss seeing her again.
