"May God wrap His arms around Eric and Welcome him Home to Eternal Life.
Deepest Sympathies to the Eggen Family.
I met Eric in Junior High School; graduated together; maintained friendship over the years; closer during Eric's final ten years. My heart breaks ~ the uniqueness of my amazing friend will never be forgotten. This Valentines photo shows Eric's fun nature! He cut hearts out and put a sticky back on them. He went up to ladies and gave them a Valentine Heart off his turtleneck!
