The Christensen side of the family in Denmark
It is with great sadness that we have learned about Ejgil’s passing. We all thought that he was finally recovering from his illness to enjoy years of happiness with you, but that apparently was not to be.
We remember Ejgil as being good-natured with a big smile and a positive attitude towards others, always ready to help out where needed.
We fully share your sorrow, but little by little, we will all remember not just that Ejgil died, but that he lived and left precious memories.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with you at this time of grief.

Dearest all of you. Just heard the very sad news, and would like to send all my heart and soul to the beautiful people around him. Though it has been many years since I last had the pleasure to spend some wonderful moments with Egjil and the rest of you, the memories are as clear as ever before. I would like to dedicate this poem I wrote some tears back to him, couse he could allways bring a smile to my face:
Jeg elsker at smile.
Jeg smiler ikke nødvendigvis, fordi jeg er glad.
Men når jeg smiler, får jeg ti smil tilbage.
Og det er de smil, der gør min dag gladere.
Tak Egjil…

To My God Father
If i could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
I would express all my unspoken love,
I have countless things to say.
If i could bring you back again,
I say i treasure you,
And that your presence in my life
Meant more that you ever knew.
If i could bring you back again,
To tell you what i should
You’d know how much i miss you now
and if i could, i would
elsker du altid Tammy

Could we ever forget your Sparkling eyes
or the wayyou brightened eachday,
oryour smile whichis etched in our memories,
So you’re never far away?
Could we ever forget,tose priceless moments,
The answer, of course is never
For you were part of our lives for a brief time
But you’ll be a part of our Hearts forever
