Ruchie was a former
classmate of Ricki, although since she is older that Ricki was, she finished
school shortly before Ricki's death. To the best of my knowledge, her Mom never
told her about Ricki's death, and she asked me not to mention it, as Ruchie
would be upset, and she (the Mom) did not want to deal with that.
During the recent
holiday of Sukkot, Ruchie, apparently on vacation from work, decided to call
Ricki.
"Can I talk to
Ricki?"
"She's not
here."
"Where is
she?"
[Now here I didn't
know what to say; I'm not going to lie.]
"Ricki's in
heaven."
"That's nice.
Ok, Bye"
I guess that her
"That's nice." is a standard answer she gives to answers she doesn't quite
understand. Anyway, she didn't seem upset, so no damage was done. And I had a
good smile.
