RE: Mike Billington

Hello there,

 

Yes it is a very sad time for all his fans and of course his family.

 

If I could ask you all to be patient on this matter, as the news of Mike's death was supposed to have remained private until after his funeral on Monday when his family wanted to make a public announcement, this is mainly for his son Mike Jnr.

 

If you would like to make a donation for Macmillan Cancer Care or Marie Curie Cancer Care as this is the request of his family no flowers etc.

 

As members of Mike's fan team we ourselves have not sent any condolenses directly as this was the request of his family, and we felt also that now isn't the time..when we do we will be sure to say that any feelings or thoughts, sentiments will be passed on will come directly from his fan community..I will let you know so that you may like to pass on thoughts etc..or better still put them on the guestbook on the mikebillington fans site at http://www.mikebillingtonfans.com and we will be sure to read them and pass them at the right time.

 

Mike was 63, and as you may or may not already know, he had been suffering with Cancer for a few years but had kept that information private, none of us at the team knew,we were all in contact with Mike very often and would meet up with him so we were very shocked to learn of his illness, but to me this shows what a great person he was never to have burdened others with his own suffering, don't know how else to put it into words..

 

I hope this answers any questions and please I ask that you all respect the wishes of his family in terms of flowers etc

 

Many thanks,

 

Carie – Mike Billington Fans Team
