Matt Thornton said...: To the Vinecki Family, friends & others:

It is with a heavy heart, and blurry eyes that I type this, saddened by the news of Michaels passing (sorry to be "the bearer of bad news" to anyone that hadn't heard yet).

May the strength of the Lord, His love, and the love of others ease your burdens during this difficult time.

Words I'm sure will never fill the void you must be feeling. Please accept my very humble & heart-felt regrets for your loss to all of you.

I'm very fortunate to have considered Michael a friend. Thankfully, I was blessed with the opportunity to spend time with he & his fantastic family at the recent MSAA convention.

Winter- Keep up the great work! You are an amazing young lady!

Humbly, & with Regret,

mom of three said...: May there finally be peace in the hearts of those who love Michael most. I pray for peace in the hearts for the children, parents, brother and sister of Michael. Know that now there is finally no pain for him. The Heavens are having a jubilant celebration that Michael has joined them. There holds some comfort in our sadness to know that although we are left behind with Pain due to the empty hearts we have,Michael's new body with the Lord is strong, solid and without pain.
Be strong Vinecki family! Keep your faith, just as Michael kept his.; March 12, 2009 at 10:08 PM
