By-DeoVonte “Deo” Means

Genesis 6:1–4 tells the readers that the Nephilim, which means “fallen ones” when translated into English, were the products of divine beings and humans (lit. daughters and sons of Adam). The Nephilim are known as great warriors and giants of their cause. (see Ezekiel 32:27 and Numbers 13:33).  Our annual In Memoriam spread is one of our most difficult and emotional to publish.  But we draw strength on, and embrace our endowment as a platform of the community. Most often, one of brothers or sisters will fall and their footprint placed on the overall tapestry will be relegated to a day or two of “RIP” messages on their social media wall.  Clearly, these fallen angels are more significant in the lives of their people, family and confidants. We here at The Flyy-Life seek to immortally honor them for the lives they’ve lived and smiles they put on our individual faces. The Bible teaches us, “to live is Christ and to die is gain.”, so my faith leads me to believe that they are indeed in a better place and rooting for us to cross over and hear the Father say, “well done!” Yet, while we are still on this Earthly journey, we will never forget their impact or presence. Thy Will Be Done….Deo
