Dear Mr.& Mrs. Nazario,
My most heartfelt sympathy is yours. I was one of the passengers on the VanGalder Bus. Your son has been on my mind since that day and I can not forget or understand exactly what happened but please know that you will always be in my prayers. I have a daughter the same age as your son and I really don't know if I could handle what you have had to go though. I am so sorry. If there is anything I might be able to do for you please let me know.

David and I kept in touch and often promised to find time to meet up for dinner. I always thought there would be time in the future and for that I’m sorry. Ruben and Kathy should be very proud of the fact that David will be remembered so fondly. David became a kind, thoughtful and caring man. He was everything you could ever want in a son.

I worked with David at Lobster Gram. He always had a smile on his face when he came to work. I will miss him saying “I GOING TO MCDONALD’S DO YOU WANT ANYTHING?” I will always remember his friendliness, helpfulness, and kindness too. He was a very sweet and caring person. We will miss you and you will never be forgotten. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear David's family,
I am really sorry to hear of this. I knew David since 2005 when I just arrived Chicago. Though we hung out only a few times I knew that I was so lucky to have come to know such a nice and sweet guy like David. He was with me on my birthday and my farewell party. He will be in my thoughts and my heart. And he will live on in the hearts of everyone who loved him.
My deepest condolescense.

To all of David's family,
I met David briefly over a year ago at LobsterGram. Several of my co-workers here at Mercury Consulting worked with David and always spoke highly of him. Surely this bright, young, enthusiastic young man will be missed. My condolences.

Mr. and Mrs. Nazario...
I am so sorry to hear of this. And just to think, that not only a couple weeks before is when I saw you guys at my moms memorial. We were actually thinking about getting together to grab some coffee to talk about things. I'm so sorry again. He will be greatfully missed. This was such an unfortuante thing to happen. My prayers go out to you.

I'm a co-worker of David at Lobster Gram. He was such a sweet kid. He used
to give me jumps when my car didn't start. He talked about his grandmas
pasteles and puerto rican food that he loved. I will miss seeing him at
work.
