This presentation is in memory of Emmanuel “Miel” Virata who was drafted to play with the Heavenly

Football League (HFL)on May 12, 1997.

It is dedicated to all of you gathered here today in this “CELEBRATION OF

LIFE ”. We celebrate for as Christians - we know that life does not end on earth

but continues for eternity with Jesus. We are certain he would have loved to be

here if not for his previous commitment to the HFL.
