My prayers and condolence go out the D'Amico family. Very hard to comprehend when the lost of a love one dies. May the little angel rest in peace among the brightest stars in the sky.
December 30, 2011
When God calls little children to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world, seem wonderful and mild
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold,
So He picks a rosebud, before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few
To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye."
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find.
It is so hard to understand why these things have to happen. We didn't know your family, but it hurts us so much also to know that a child so young is gone. Our deepest sympathy to your family.

It is hard for everyone to bear that you are gone. You were an amazing friend who always put a smile on everyone's face. I hope you know how much you are missed. Everyday we pass your tree and we stop and honk and say something encouraging about you with tears in our eyes. Looking at the tree we remember your outgoing personality and the smile that you had that made everyone's day. Maurizio, Maria, Ryan, and the rest of your amazing family, you are all amazing people who didn't deserve any of this, we cannot even try to imagine what this feels like. Matt is missed and loved by so many, all of my family's prayers go to you.
We love you all.
