To the D'Amico Family,
It was with great sadness that I read of Michael's passing . My memories go so far back to Michael's " Little People's House" days. I remember a boy with such determination and a devilish spirit , and always in the mix with his cousins! I was so pleased to read of his accomplishments and the man he became , but it certainly did not surprise me. Through these sad times I hope you will find comfort in your memories and the love you shared with Michael. I will keep you and Michael in my prayers.

Dear D´Amico family,
Even though your sadness cannot be taken away let your memories bring you comfort. The shenanigans our boys got into together are some of our fondest memories with your family. Sitting around your kitchen table with a pot of sauce cooking, glasses of wine, and conversation´s about "what could the boys come up with next". Michael was and always will be cherished by his family. Rest in peace Michael. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

To Sal & Janice, Stephen and Brendan, our hearts are heavy in sympathy and condolences with you to know that Michael has passed on from this world. Michael had a gentle and quiet warmth that I´ll always remember, especially during the last time I got to be with him as Dad (R.E.) and I shared breakfast with you all on the coast. His kind words for Dad made his day.
May you all be comforted that Michael is now at peace.

Sal, Janice, Stephen, Brendan and the entire D´Amico/Steadham family, you have our deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved son Michael. Michael has completed his earthly journey, while enduring monumental adversities. He is a courageous soul. The times I met Michael I was always impressed with the strength in his eyes and the largeness of his heart for others. Michael you have won the race, you made it, you´re home with our Savior resting in his grace and peace. You have a new, glorified body, you´ll never be tired, never be bored never have anymore pain or disappointment. You have entered majesty and eternal life and will be more alive, more loved than you could ever imagine! We will see you again when we enter paradise. Until then I pray that the Holy Spirit would supernaturally comfort your parents, brothers and the rest of your family.
