With great sadness, ICIN reports the passing away of one of its founding members, Suhail Michael RIP, on Friday 31st May 2013. In Suhail, ICIN lost a leading active trustee, treasurer and relentless campaigner for the Iraqi poor and disadvantaged. He will be greatly missed.

His funeral and a Requiem Mass will take place on Friday 14th June 2013 at St Christopher's Catholic Church, 59 Tabor Gardens, Cheam SM3 8RU at 11:45am. This will then be followed by a small and simple family service at North East Surrey Crematorium, Lower Morden Lane, Morden, Surrey, SM4 4NU.

The family invite guests to join them in celebrating Suhail's life at the Epsom Downs Racecourse, Epsom Downs, Surrey, KT18 5LQ.

Suhail Michael

 

His family request that instead of flowers, a donation is made to ICIN in Suhail's memory. The following is a message in the family's own words

Dad was so passionate about ICIN.  From its inception in 2007 he campaigned tirelessly for the displaced Iraqi Christians and over the years helped to raise thousands of Pounds to help make their lives more comfortable and to provide education for the young.   

In honour of our father my family would request that instead of flowers you make a donation to the charity which was so close to his heart.

To all supporters of the Lunch at Don Emilio on 6th March 2013

A big thank you to all those who attended the luncheon at Don Emilio two weeks ago. The generosity you showed by your attendance and the contributions you made through donations and raffle tickets has touched us.

Total proceeds of the Lunch amounted to £2,000 net of all costs and this amount will be sent in full to the suffering needy in Syria as was discussed at the Luncheon.

God bless each and everyone of you and your families.
