Egil was the eternal optimistic. If a positive way of seeing something was needed, he could find sunshine in a mineshaft.
He had the confidence that could only come from God and it emanated through his radiant smile and benevolent spirit. He gave cheerfully, always giving more than what was asked.
Although we were both working fifteen-hour-days when we met, he re-wrote his script to make room for us. The General Manager at the Four Seasons, were we lived, called us the “love birds” and comments of “joined at the hip” were shared about. A neighbor chimed in with seeing Arlene and Egil gave her hope that true love exists in the world.
Egil and I dovetailed in our love for what we were given, being grateful for every day we had together, loyalty to those who were loyal to us, our commitment to home and family with a shared caveat, if someone was not dealing honestly with us, Egil was the first to walk away from them and did not look back.
At the heart of Egil was a downhill ski racer with the juxtaposition of that he enjoyed our company as much as the snow. He chose my company to the frustration of his longtime ski buddies, many of whom were former Olympians. After a few runs, I would offer to sit at Cushing’s Cabin in Deer Valley, back when the area was quiet, long before the 2002 Olympics. Egil would have one or two runs and return to me, the fireplace and hot chocolate.
We were born in different countries, from different times and yet we had more in common with each other, than those within our respective families.
Egil read Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “How Do I Love Thee”, as his marriage vow to me the first time we got married. Later we were sealed for time and all eternity in the San Diego temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
We spent the first two early morning hours talking and reading scriptures. Regardless of what the world was offering, we felt whole and complete.
We weathered many seasons together with the greater season being gathering life-long-friends who were more like family when we found our church and grew closer to Jesus Christ.
In Egil’s last worldly chapter, God gave me the strength to deliver on all that he wanted and needed, such that when he passed our home was filled with joy confirming our active faith and deliverance of an even stronger testimony.
Egil’s loving wife, Arlene
Egil had a BA from Dartmouth and an MBA from Tuck. He was the cartographer on a 100’ schooner called the Blue Dolphin for an expedition to find a year round open harbor as financed by Seaton.
Egil was a CPA and Auditor at Arthur Anderson during the early 1960s, the CFO for Macomber Company in Boston and later began his 57 year career as a Life Insurance Agent, the General Agent (GA) for the MassMutual Boston office and twice Agent of the Year for MassMutual with one of those times being when he was also the GA.
Even recently when I was servicing one of the client’s policies, the home office of the insurance company commented that the policy was well architected and rare to see a policy so well placed. Egil mastered his craft by seeking what was best for the client.
I didn’t know Egil when he was a young man who had left Norway to pursue an education and to ski and play soccer at Dartmouth College in the 1950s. We didn’t meet until 2005, when Egil and Arlene began attending the same congregation as my family—the Boston Second Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But I always felt that, despite our forty-year age difference, Egil was one of my peers and that the adventurous young man who had left his family and friends in Norway to make a life for himself in America was always just beneath the surface. It felt completely natural to me to spend the 4th of July at a party that Egil and Arlene hosted for their friends rather than with my classmates. It felt natural to invite Egil and Arlene to meet up with our family when visiting my parents in Merced, CA after they had moved to Carmel-By-The-Sea. Perhaps the culminating moment of our friendship was when, after hearing Egil’s amazing skiing stories for most of our friendship, I was finally able to ski with him at Sundance about ten years ago. I loved riding the lifts up together, chatting about skiing, work, and life. I loved getting ski tips from him as we skied down Bear Claw; when I’m on the slopes, I still hear his voice, reminding me to push my shins into the front of my boots. I wanted to spend time with Egil whenever and wherever I could. I have considered him a close friend for almost two decades.
But Egil was also something of a parent figure and mentor to me. He looked out for me and my family in ways that my own parents would have if they had been living close to us. When I was in the final stages of writing my dissertation, Egil approached me and asked if I would be interested in using his and Arlene’s condo in Boston’s Four Seasons as a workspace while they traveled for an extended period of time. This generous gift of a quiet space to think and write made it possible for me to finish my dissertation in a timely manner. And when we were expecting our twins at about that same time and Ann had to spend several weeks in the hospital, Egil and Arlene would regularly bring us dinner. They would pack up food they had prepared and their nicest dishes and cutlery in a suitcase, wheel it from their condo to the Tufts Medical Center in Boston’s Chinatown, whisk their cheery selves into Ann’s hospital room, and proceed to make us forget that we had been holed up in a hospital room eating hospital food for days by serving us gourmet food and entertaining us with the most delightful conversation. Egil was the father figure we needed during those anxious days—someone who not only made sure our needs were met but who also made us feel like royalty.
The highlight of my relationship with Egil came just over a year ago, when my wife and I visited him and Arlene at their home in Sanibel. Even though Egil could only talk in a whisper at that point, we spent hours together looking through his scrapbooks. As I slowly flipped through the pages, Egil shared stories that I had never heard about growing up in Norway, about his family and childhood friendships, about his years playing soccer and skiing at Dartmouth, about his early professional years, about meeting and marrying Arlene. Listening to Egil review what felt like the totality of his life was a sacred experience for me. Those conversations distilled what Egil had been teaching me for the nearly two decades of our friendship—that life should be approached with enthusiasm, that some of life’s greatest experiences are a result of confidently venturing into the unknown, and that you sometimes have to give up a life that you know to find one that is even more meaningful.

Egil Stigum was a giant of man and a dear and generous friend. We first met in Boston in 2007 and one of my first memories together was watching the fireworks and celebrating July 4th from their living room looking over Boston Public Gardens! I remember many subsequent nights there together eating cheese and chocolates...he was such a good storyteller and could always entertain us with a story of Norwegian olympic skiing or Dartmouth soccer glory days.
During our time together in Boston, I was also impressed by his commitment to serve the Lord and his fellow man as a new convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He and Arlene served in the Boston temple together often and he served in a local Boston Bishopric as he helped lead fellow saints in becoming better disciples of Jesus Christ.
Fast forward a few years and we reconnected in California while we were at Stanford and he and Arlene enjoyed life in Carmel By The Sea. He and Arlene were so generous in inviting us down for the weekend often and it was always a great highlight (especially given our tight budget in medical school). We ate like kings/queens thanks to Arlene and I always appreciated his sweet tooth as we enjoyed some of the best homemade ice cream there I've ever tasted. Several fond memories in particular were spending Thanksgiving together at the Pebble Beach Club and going to the pool with our 4 kids to swim and play tennis together--the kids absolutely loved it (as did we). They became our kids' surrogate grandparents during that season of life and we cherished our time with them.
As times in California were ending for both of us, we had one last great trip together to Yellowstone National Park. It was another special time together seeing lots of amazing wildlife, including hundreds of baby buffalo, and enjoying their company.
Egil was a remarkable athlete who left an incredible mark on Dartmouth. Over 70 years later, he still ranks among Dartmouth's all-time top scorers (3rd place) with 30 goals from 1953-1955. As both a skilled soccer player and a Norwegian skier, Egil embodied the multi-sport athlete ideal and left a lasting legacy there.
As a perfect ending to this tribute and his legacy, Egil was an amazing husband and best friend to Arlene--something we witnessed often over many years. He strove to always make sure she was happy, healthy, and loved. Despite their different ways at times, they found a way to harmonize which was beautiful to see. They could not be separated and were definitely best of friends.
Egil was such a great friend to us as well and we will miss him dearly (and definitely looking forward to skiing together in the next life!).
Much love,
The Conley's
I’ve never known anybody like Egil Stigum. His life and his story intrigued me probably more than anyone I’ve ever known. His talents were immense: from his record-setting triumphs on the Dartmouth soccer field to his lifetime of excellence on the ski slopes, from his cleverness as a young boy growing up in occupied Norway, to his staggering success in the insurance industry, Egil seemed almost a legend in the eyes of so many.
His mind, when fixed on something he believed, seemed unshakable. His commitment to the people and principles he cherished was strong and unwavering. And his firm dedication to Arlene—another one-of-a-kind gem of a human being with her own set of truly unique and awe-inspiring gifts—was a thing of beauty to me as a young husband trying to figure things out.
But I think it was for his kindness that I will remember him most. Egil and Arlene played a vital role in my life, and the life of my whole family, exactly when we needed them the most. We were young, inexperienced, ambitious, overworked, under-prepared, barely scraping by financially, and trying to balance our faith, our family, and our professional and academic ambitions thousands of miles from home. Egil and Arlene became our friends, mentors, advisors, playmates, supports, fans, and helpers. Egil became the smiling, fun-loving grandpa for our kids, he became my partner in church responsibilities, my confidant, my coach, my role model, and, when needed, my much-needed comic relief. This accomplished, iron-willed man among men was both sentimental and truly funny! He could tell tales in a way that would keep me on the edge of my seat with suspense and laughter.
I love you, Egil, I miss you, and I will forever be grateful that my life crossed paths with yours.”
Daniel Henderson
From the moment I met him, he was an inspiration. I loved learning about Egil's life adventures, successes, hardships, and amazing events. There were so many fascinating layers and he always had a new story I'd never heard. Somehow Egil took on lots of different roles. He felt like a peer, a mentor—a friend, and the doting grandfather who made old-fashioned Norwegian crafts with the kids. He was always quick to laugh, willing to teach, and eager to learn. I feel honored to have known him and to have the memories written in my heart. Until we meet again, Egil. Save me a bowl of ice cream.
Michelle Henderson
With much sadness, we learned of Egil's passing ~ we are so sorry! Sherif and I have such fond memories of you and Egil at the Beach Club. Sherif mentioned this morning how much he enjoyed conversing with Egil about so many topics ~ such a nice and kind man.
We will always cherish the moments we had together and the special bond you both shared.
With love and prayers,
Barbara and Sherif
We thank you for allowing us to take care of Egil and ask that you accept our condolences during this difficult time. I do want to mention that it was apparent to all of us how much you loved and cared for Egil. You were a great advocate for him. Not all of our patients are blessed to have a good support system at home and we are glad Egil had you.
Mirna
Arlene…..On behalf of the entire Class of 1956, I send our deepest sympathies to you and the rest of the family. Egil was certainly one of the best known members of our class - both within in the Dartmouth community and the wider sports world. The pictures were wonderful. Best wishes, Tom / Jack on behalf of Class of ‘56
I am so sorry to hear about Egil. He was such a wonderful man.
He and my Tom had some great conversations.
I know how hard it is for you and wish I had some special words to make it better. Know I am thinking of you and sending my hugs.
I was a caregiver for a very long time too. It does take its toll but we do what we have to do.
Please keep in touch. I am still going to the Beach Club which has become my savior. Miss seeing you there though.
Best wishes and hugs.
Jackie
It is with sadness that we hear about Egil, but joy also at his full and amazing life. Thank you for sending the photos, it brings me happiness seeing you both again in such happy places and times. I hope that you are managing well during this time of loss. The wondrous thing is that he is still with you in his love beyond the veil.
With our love,
--Franz
Tom … shared your email with Stan and me about Egil's passing. We share our heartfelt condolences with you. Your comments about 24/7 caregiving have special resonance with us as we have done that for two of our parents in past years. Take very good care of yourself now and allow time to heal a bit and begin a new stage in your life.
Stan and I have very fond memories of you and Egil in the Monterey and Monterey 2nd wards. You both have had a great influence in our lives, especially as it relates to family history. As a new temple and family history consultant in the Monterey Ward, I reflect back to your valuable example of making time to regularly help ward families -- you both are the "gold standard" as far as I am concerned. … So, I hold to my memory of you and Egil in the R.S. room after church many Sundays, helping ward members with their issues. Following your example, I have published my availability in the ward announcements to do the same. …
Please know that what you and Egil did in the Monterey wards has mattered for us. Your dedication and perseverance is etched in our memories. We loved seeing the pictures you sent to Tom and Diane; they remind me that we often only see a small portion of someone when we are associated . . . there is always more to know and see and appreciate. At some point in the future, it will be wonderful to see what Egil is up to in this new portion of his existence.
Elder Bruce R. McConkie gave some last counsel to his family before his death: "Carry on". So, we do. And pray that you will be comforted and aided as you do too.
Love,
Mary Jane and Stan
Arlene,
I'm so sorry to hear about Egil. What a wonderful human being he was, we look back with great fondness over the fun years in Boston we had together. Thank you for letting us know of his passing and for sending along pictures. Those were fun to see. I hope you are doing okay and able to take care of yourself now.
Best of luck with this new stage of life.
Piper and Ryan
… Egil sure had a long and productive life. The pictures were awesome. Thank you for including me. I hope you made it through the last two hurricanes without major damage. I miss everyone down there. … I wanted to take time to express my condolences for your loss and wish you the best.
Love,
Tim
Thank you for letting me know and for the sweet pictures. … I hold you and Egil in my heart always and think of you often.
I worried about you during all the hurricanes. I’m sad to hear that Egil is not on the earth right now, but how great was it that he was here!!! I always loved talking to him and I always admired him for being one of the skiing pioneers in this country. I’m sure he is still very close to you. I love how much you love and support each other. Your pictures are so sweet. It’s also very comforting to know he was at home. …
I love you, Arlene. I love Egil. It sounds like the last year may have been pretty rough. You are a strong woman and such an example of finding beauty wherever you are.
Sending you big hugs from …. I hope you feel at peace and feel love at this time.
I love you,
Megan
Dear Arlene,
… Egil is a very special person and I feel privileged to know him and you. You and Egil are a dear couple that exhibited true love. You kept such wonderful care of Egil during the many health challenges that he faced and gave him the love that he needed.
I hope that God gives you comfort now that Egil is in God's hands. We all grieve in our own way. There is no correct way to grieve. … She said take what you are given and make the most of it. …
Knowing you and Egil has been a pleasure for me, and I am so glad that I could have conversations with you both recently.
May God bless you as you move forward. I wish you my best.
Bill
Dear Arlene,
Mixed feelings about your email. First of all, knowing that you were experiencing some serious weather problems in your area, we were hoping & praying that all would be well for you two.
Then, when you shared the news of Egil’s passing, we hoped that you would be well & able to truly celebrate his life well-lived. What a great man in so many ways.
Then, our thoughts went to you as his main caregiver for such a long period of time. You’re a true saint. Know that our prayers & thoughts are with you at this time of change
We think of you two - especially when we drive (quite often) past your former, picturesque Carmel cottage.
Thx for sharing your fun photos. You truly have many wonderful memories.
Wishing you better days ahead,
Diane & Tom
Egil was not an ordinary man. Most men live lives of quiet desperation and do not seek to change or become someone greater. Egil sucked out the marrow of life and lived deliberately. He loved the ski slopes and loved the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Egil sacrificed so much to become a true disciple of Jesus Christ and become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Not one who follows the Savior through words only, Egil followed Christ through his actions, his behavior, his character. Egil was and is a good man. He lives on on the other side of the veil, which all of us must pass eventually. He waits for Arlene and all of his loved ones while celebrating with all of his friends and family who waited for him on the other side. May we all be like Egil, willing to convert to Christ and live this life to the fullest so when the bell tolls for our time to cross the threshold between mortal life and mortal death we may all know as Egil did that we lived life deliberately.
Love,
Mark Anthony Barrionuevo, Esq.
Arlene,
We’re so sorry to hear about Egil’s passing. We thoroughly enjoyed our friendship with both of you. You are special people and we will always remember fun times. All good memories. Our best to you and please let us know if there’s anything we can do for you.
Neil and Bert
Oh Arlene,
I am so sorry to hear this news……… my heart is breaking for you. I am glad to hear he died peacefully at home.
What a gift you gave him, Arlene, caring for him 24/7 for 13 months……. you gave him the best possible last months he could have asked for. I realize that came at your expense. Hopefully now you can get the rest you need while you grieve and heal.
Sending you lots of love and prayers,
Alix
Egil was a great story teller. The coolest part was his stories were true! He loved adventure and wasn’t afraid of going to new places and trying new things. When Egil lost his balance and had a challenge with walking, instead of using a walker, he used ski poles. That told me a lot about him right there. He always struck me as a brave, outgoing, strong and confident man yet he was a gentle man who was kind to everyone. He also had a great sense of humor.
Egil was my friend and I’ll miss him. It was my honor to know him.
I’m so grateful that he and I have a strong faith to know that we will see each other again and continue our friendship in the eternities.
Gene Cobb
Dear Arlene,
Brigitte and I are very sorry to hear that Egil passed away. Thankfully, he died peacefully and thankfully he was greatly blessed to have you by his side at the end of his mortal life. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time of loss.
I (David) remember with great fondness the lunches with both of you at your beautiful home in downtown Boston. Egil was an incredible and amazing man and we feel blessed to have known him for at least a short time. We wish you all the best in your life, Arlene, and hope you will be able to continue to bless the world with all the goodness and talent you have to offer.
Thank you for sending the photos of Egil and you during his later years. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can ever be of any help.
With love,
Brigitte and David
We are so sad to hear about Egil's passing. He was such a wonderful soul and always seemed to enjoy life and being around others.
Thank you for sharing the photos of Egil during his life. Those were fun to see and they brought back memories of times we all spent together in Boston and Charleston.
All our love to you. You've been a great friend and disciple of Jesus Christ and we know someday you and Egil will be reunited.
Makenna & Jason
Arlene, I am so sad about this news. Egil was such a legendary man. Chris and I loved all the stories he told us of skiing and other adventures. He truly was a great person. I’m sorry the past 13 months have been so hard on you too. Care giving is definitely one of the most exhausting roles any person can play in this life but it can also be the most rewarding. We are praying for you while you grieve, rest and recover. We pray that God will bless you and strengthen you. We love you!
Julie and Chris
Arlene,
Thank you for sending this to us. We miss you both and loved spending the time we did together. Egil was an incredible man who lived a rich and fantastic life which was made ever better with you at his side.
Thank you for the photos. He had such a vibrant smile and eyes. It's good to see so many pictures of you both. Thanks for including the puzzle picture with me in it!
We'll keep you in our prayers as you continue to heal and grow.
With love,
Nathan Siebach
Arlene
I’m so sorry to hear this sad news. I think the world of both of you! Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you, and please stay in touch.
With deep sympathy,
Susan
Arlene, I am heart broken to hear that Egil has passed. Egil was such an inspiration to me, I loved the way he lived life in his older years as if he were young. His spirit was absolutely amazing!
Ron
It was easy to see the beautiful, loving bond you and Egil shared. Egil was so blessed to have you as his partner and, in recent months, as his caretaker. You showed everyone what unconditional love and respect look like. Egil was an amazing soul who constantly surprised me with his stories about his life experiences. His business advice was priceless and very empowering. It was always so lovely to spend time with him. He was a dapper dresser and had a wonderful smile. Egil will forever be missed.
God bless you in this very difficult time, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Patrice
Your sweet memorial service was a fitting tribute to a remarkable son of God who so briefly roamed the earth bringing joy to others; especially the love of his life (& of eternity) YOU!
Bob
Oh Arlene! I am so sorry to hear about Egil's passing and the difficult 13 months of caregiving prior to that. I'm sure that it has been an extraordinarily difficult time for you and I wish to convey my sincere caring of you and Egil and all you are going through. I loved seeing the photos of you both, thank you so much for sharing.
Dave and I have very fond memories of Egil, he certainly was one-in-a-million! I know that caregiving is demanding and thankless, so I wish to thank you for doing all that work. I know it is not easy, often unpleasant, and often without any help from anyone else. You are an extraordinary woman who deserves some rest, relief and time to re-acquaint yourself with your talents and gifts as your burdens change in this big moment of life. I am so sorry for your loss of Egil and wish to send my love!
Stephanie
Dearest Arlene,
Our hearts are heavy today with the news of Egil’s passing. We always treasured our time with both of you. You were his angel who took very good care of him, everyone that knew you saw that. He is in good hands now, although he will be deeply missed. Please let us know if you would like us to convey the information at the beach club and Stillwater club.
You are an amazing woman, who makes friends wherever you go. You will be looked after, I am sure.
Egil was an inspiration to all who knew him. Sharp mind, great energy, lots of wisdom and wonderful stories. A life well lived. He supported friendship with his perpetual smile. Now he is your angel, you are never alone.
Sending warm hugs and lifelong caring to you friend.
Love, Barbara & Alan Bienenfeld
… How wonderful at the same time to look at the pictures you sent. Your bright smiles in those photos are such a testament to the wonderful life you had together. May you always have those precious moments fresh in your mind.
With love,
Elinor & Carl
Beautiful Photos of your life together.
HUGS.
Patti
Dear Arlene,
I’m so sorry to hear that Egil has passed away, but so grateful for the knowledge we have that one day you two will be together again - how sweet that is.🙏 I pray that you’ll be able to regain your strength as you rest from these difficult times.
Cuddle with Precious for I’m sure she misses Egil, too.
Please know you will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love from your faraway cousin, Jeannette McElroy
Dear Arlene,
… We fondly remember his days with us in Hanover and all the good guidance that he provided this young dumb couple….it worked and it was of mutual benefit as well.
I enjoyed his skiing abilities as I too enjoyed the sport but he much more able than I was.
Our last conversations with him were difficult to understand but we will always remember the good life he enjoyed and it was wonderful he found you to join with him on his journey. …
With hugs, Peter and Pearl
Looks like a wonderful life well lived. Sending you healing thoughts and wishing you peace and good memories. Maureen
Arlene, I am so sorry to hear of Egil's passing. You must be feeling exhausted and extremely sad, to say the least. I hope you have the right people close around you.
From my heart,
Renée
Dear Arlene,
I am so saddened to hear about your husband Egil’s passing. How heavy your heart must feel.
Being a full time care giver is a difficult job. I admire you so.
When you feel up to getting out, please know we will welcome you with open arms at BIG ARTS.
Big hugs - Anni
PS I loved seeing the pictures of you both over the years. Thank you for sharing.
Dear Arlene
We are so sad to receive this news. Please accept our deepest condolences.
And thank you for the heart warming photos. You had a lot of fun together with lots of great adventures.
Lots of hugs to you in this difficult time.
Please reach out if there is anything you need.
Anne Olaug and family
Dear Arlene,
What sad news to hear of Egil’s passing. In the short time I knew him, I was amazed and delighted at the life he had led. A Norwegian suffering through World War II, an Olympic skier, a well traveled man of finance and of course, a valued member of the Mormon church.
The memory of his 90th birthday comes back to me clearly - how he took such delight in having friends celebrate with him.
And you were a devoted caretaker during this last hard spell.
In time, may your sorrow be transformed into happy memories of a life well spent.
Thinking of you,
Sue Simoneau
Arlene,
… Sending you the white light of love, peace and healing. …
Maggie
Oh Arlene,
I’m so so sorry to hear this. This is a beautiful collection of moments you shared together.
13 months is a long time to be a sole caregiver, but the incredible amount of love and surrender of yourself to care for another is our highest calling and you’ve walked your path, with and for your husband beautifully.
May God grant you peace and grace beyond understanding.
Joleen Raho
Arlene-I am so sorry for your loss my heart goes out to you. I know you had a wonderful life together and his memories will be close to your heart.
JoAnn
… I enjoyed meeting Egil and discussing skiing! Such a nice man. I hope you are holding up OK. I am sure your art will bring you some solace as it tends to do during hard times.
Carol Dallas
Arlene I am so sorry for your loss. I really enjoyed seeing the pictures of you two, especially when he was younger! Please let me know if I can help you in any way. I hope you will possibly look into support group for grieving. My dad and I attend Grief Share which is sponsored by Methodist churches and is open to anyone. It is a wonderful program. I know you were so involved in his care. Now it’s time to give yourself some time and do you.
Your friend,
Dana Enders
Dearest Arlene,
It is with deep sadness that I have read this news. It is some relief that he passed peacefully at your home, with you by his side. Egil could not have had a more devoted loving wife than you.
I cannot imagine how difficult these last 13 months must have been for you. I have kept you and Egil in my prayers and you have been often on my mind.
Please let me know if there will be a celebration of his amazing life in the future. I can only hope he finished his book, preserving his accomplishments, and I hope you can share it with me.
When you’re ready, I would love to meet you for lunch, or to just chat on a bench in a shady spot. Just let me know when you want to connect.
I will continue to lift you in prayer.
With love,
Jayne
Arlene
… Egil really impressed me with his bright outlook on life. I really enjoyed his stories of his auditing days, a common interest to both of us.
You were a wonderful and loving caregiver for Egil. I hope memories of your shared life will sustain you in your grief. Please take time to to recharge. I hope to see you at a Fort Myers Beach Art Association gathering in the future.
Steve
Dear Arlene,
Very sorry to hear about Egil. Thank you for the great pictures. You were a wonderful/great wife for Egil, …
Love,
Tad
Oh Arlene I am so sorry to read your message. What may I do for you?
Thank you for sharing your photos and I am so happy I was able to be in his company on a couple of occasions.
Sending prayers and hugs to you,
Sincerely, Nancy
