VIGIL, DONALD March 27, 1933 - June 19, 1989 In Loving Memory I Said a Prayer for You Today I said a prayer for you today, I know God must have heard, I felt the answer in my heart although He spoke no word. I'm lonesome here without you, I miss you more each day. Life doesn't seem the same, since you have gone away. When days are sad and lonely, and everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper (cheer up and carry on). Each time I see your picture you seem to smile and say, "Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping, we'll meet again someday". Your loving wife, Joanne
