Justice Sonia Sotomayor said in a statement issued by theSupreme Court, “I will miss Ruth greatly.
She was someone whose wisdom, kindness, and unwavering support I could always rely on.
I will forever cherish the moments we shared.”

And those memories span several years as the women nurtured a friendship outside the courtroom.
It comes as no surprise, then, that Sotomayor had an adorable nickname for Ginsburg.
(viaNPR) may be what led to Justice Sotomayor’s very fitting nickname for her friend.

She told Meyers, “She’s an amazing, brave, woman and strong.
This nickname is 100% on point.
It’s clear that Justice Sotomayor and RBG had a true friendship established on respect and commonalities.
While we may never know, there is one thing we do know: We miss you, RBG.
