I would like to extend my deepest condolences to all of Michelle’s loved ones.  I attended highschool with Michelle and it would be years after I married that I would learn my husband worked with her and her sister at Kreider’s.  We too were a Navy family and shared that connection when we were reunited on Facebook.  Her kindness will always be remembered.  May all of the positive memories of Michelle provide you with comfort and ease your grief.

My heart is forever broken, not only for the loss of the beautiful, selfless woman, but for her family as well.  I have known Michelle since around 1999 – we used to work out together in the Marine Corps Gym in New Orleans.  And we had so much fun.  When she met Mike, her whole world changed and she was so very happy.  Heaven, you have received a most wonderful angel that will be sorely missed here on earth by so many.  Rest in peace, my sweet shipmate!!!

My most sincere and deepest condolences to the whole family!I never met Michelle personally but I knew about her beautiful and kind soul through the words of her wonderful parents James and Jean.
She lived a life full of purpose and she has been and will always be a great example for all the people her life touched.
My heart goes to her sons, her husband, her beautiful parents and the whole family. She will be deeply missed, but her power is stronger now and she will look after all of you from up there, I am certain of that.

My condolences to you and your family. I will never forget Michelle’s great attitude and sunny personality when coaching Justin and Gavin in flag football or her words of support when my family was dealing with our own family health issue. The world was a better place with her and she will be missed.

Michelle,
It was a pleasure and privilege to have known you. Thank you for always caring and being the voice of hope for many. I’m not where I am today in my military career without your mentorship, guidance and support you provided. You left your presence and mark on so many. You shined your light in the darkest moments and poured into many with your genuine heart. You will truly be missed.

Michelle and I were to go to Towson State University after high school, but both of our lives took a different course. When we realized we could not attend there in the fall, we took a roadtrip with her dad to UPJ…and she talked me into going to school on the other side of the state…In Johnstown…I don’t think I had ever even heard of Johnstown. We were set….and then… she joined the Navy lol…so off to Johnstown I went, and off to the Navy she went. For the first few weeks, I would sit in my classes, and they would read roll call, “Michelle Vinelli?”…and I would raise my hand and say, “she’s not coming”. She was doing her thing, starting an awesome career with the US Navy.  Because of Michelle, I met my husband at UPJ, and we have been married now for 25 years and have 4 kids. It always makes me smile when I think back about how instrumental she was in the path my life took. When I think of Michelle, I can hear her laugh in my mind. What a beautiful life she has had, with beautiful people. May God help ease the pain of the loss you all feel.

Although I did not know Michelle, long it did not take long to tell what a beautiful caring person she was inside and out. Her passion for our Lord and his people was breath taking, and her joy lite up a room. I am so sorry for the loss of her family and friends. I know she is laughing and dancing with our savior. Many prayers and thoughts.

Michelle was a high-school classmate and friend of mine, she was as beautiful inside as she was outside.  As you know everyone liked her. She always had a light around her and it only seemed to grow as she got older, served her country and did so many other selfless humanitarian acts. Heaven gained an angel but I’m so sorry for your loss. 
Sincerely,

My deepest condolences on Michelle’s passing. She always treated me like family, and I still remember that tour she gave us at Andrew’s AFB probably 20 years ago. I was so glad to see her and Mike and the kids a few years ago. She will be missed.

I am Stéphane JN-LOUIS. I live in Haiti. Unfortunately, I had the chance to meet Michelle only one time in January, 2018. I had to work as a translater for a missionary that she was leading. That was certainly her last time in Haiti. In September of this same year, she told me that she had found that she has cancer. 
Michelle was full of life. She welcomed people with joy. She liked to help people. From Haiti, I was observing how much she struggled to maintain her joy through the illness. I’m sorry that she passed away. I hope her family to have strength and to be courageous. Praying for this family.

I met Michelle when she and Mike enrolled their child in our day care.  What stood out to me was her kindness and selfless character.  Heaven has gained one of their top Earthly representatives. May God Bless all her loved ones as they remember her dearly.  🙏🏾

My heart, love and prayers go out to Mike, the boys, and Michelle’s dearest family. Also, to those of us who had the privilege to call her our friend. I’ve never known one with a more passionate, kind and deep a soul as Michelle, she’s truly a special human and I’ll never forget her or the great memories we have from NOLA. Special prayers to her babies here forward. With love, Brigitte Farrell

My heart is broken for Mike, the boys, Jim, Jean, Renee and Chad…it’s heartbroken for the entire Vinelli family.
I have known Jim and Jean for nearly 15 years and was privileged to have met Michelle, Mike and Renee as well during that time, including the time when Michelle was battling courageously for her family and herself.
Michelle has been taken much too early but yet has given her family and everyone she has touched throughout her life so very much, even to the last measure of her devotion before she crossed this side of Heaven’s line to be with Our Father.
Death where is thy Sting? Christ Jesus has given His promise that as believers we shall inherit eternal and everlasting life.
Michelle was one of His faithful believers…she fought the good fight and ran the good race…and she is now in His hands, experiencing the Peace that passes all human understanding because she kept her heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Requiesce in pace, Michelle. Yours is eternal life in Heaven, and your memory will endure forever in the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved you.
And may God bless Mike, the boys, Jim, Jean, Renee, Chad and the entire Vinelli family.
My thoughts are with you always.

Heartbroken to say the least. I met Chief Adams is 2004 at instructor Duty when she was a 1st class and I was a 3rd class. She left an awesome impression on me then. Fast forward 5 years and she would be my Chief at CNRFC. I was so lucky to have her in my corner. She helped me in so many ways. She was there for me through thick and thin. I confided in her about my struggles and she would pray for me. She was tough on me but her love and care always shined through. She was “my” Chief and I am so thankful God put her in my path. I pray for her family and ask for peace and comfort for her husband and 2 boys. I will continue to pray for them everyday. So sorry for your loss. I know have another angel looking over me. Rest in Peace my dear friend, leader, mentor and my chief.
