Erica Klima
I only knew her as Erica Klima. We met some time ago and became fast friends. As many friendships in my past, this one grew very fast, and ended way to soon. Erica, met a boy.
“I am engaged Michael” she said to me. We had not talked in over a month. “I can’t explain right now, but I am unable to talk to you anymore”. I understood, I think. I guess I didn’t. The only conclusion I could come to is that her new man may have been the jealous type. I don’t know, speculation I guess. The friendship dissolved, I never talked to her again.
Like any normal person I think about friends past from time to time. I will admit she crept into my thoughts here and there, normal right.
Just moments ago I ran into an acquaintance of hers. I asked about her. “How is she doing, I have not talked to her since she got engaged?”
“I don’t know how to tell you this Michael, but she passed away last year”
I was in shock. Yet one more person I have known, grown to be fond of, that has passed. So young.
Erica, was a mini-TV celebrity! She volunteered for P.A.W.S, she was on their weekly TV show. She was a TEACHER!, and a COACH, and way to damn young.
I then asked what I didn’t dare. Out of respect to her and her family I will not repeat how she died, but I will say this, things don’t fit, they don’t match up. If I ever get the chance to meet her husband he will struggle to walk like a normal human being. Yes, I said it. I meant it. I have to tell you I am a little tired of loss. :-(
She was put to rest Mrs. Erica E. Rosenbaum.
To me she is klimabean
