To the Vidnansky family, I had served with David in 2003, with 4th LAR LAVAD. Just know he is not forgotten by his brothers in arms all these years. He crosses my thoughts often, and he is missed dearly. Semper Fi

To the Vidnansky family: Although I ony knew David for a few short weeks he made a great impression on me as a mature, caring, gregarious, outgoing young man. We joked about the Marines "guarding" Navy bases one day in the break room at HD Stfd. My being a Navy Vet and his being a Marine Vet. was something we could talk about. I can only imagine how great you feel your loss. I know that as word spread at the store the place took on such a somber mood. No one at Home Depot hadn't been touched by David and we all felt the loss.

I know he is still with you all in your hearts and minds and especially now, during the Holidays. May god get you gently through this difficult time and see you to the other side of your grief.

With deepest sympathies,

Maureen A. Sobulefsky

Dave,

I know you are in heaven looking down on all of us. I questioned God on why he had to take you. I now know...you are with my dad right now, protecting him and keeping him safe. He needed an angel, and got the best of the best! I miss you so very much. Please tell Gram and Grampa that I send them my love.

Love you

Elizabeth & the Vidnansky Family,



We cannot express in words how sorry we are for your loss. Our prayers are with you in these difficult days. We wish we could say something to make the pain go away but only time will heal you. Think always of the great times you all have had with David. We had only met David a few times but each time we saw him we always said that he was so nice and polite. He always spoke to us and told us it was nice to see us again. He barely knew us but he was a perfect fit to our family. Liz, I know how much you loved David it showed with every smile he put on your face if their is anything we could do for you don't hesitate to ask. We love you and pray for you and Dave's family!

To the Vidnansky family and Liz,



I can't properly express how truly sorry I am that David was taken away from you so soon. I can only tell you that I am thinking of you all and praying for you. This is a time I hope you can turn to God for strength and turn to your family for help. Don't try to do this alone. Try to take one day at a time.



Liz, it's so unfair that you have to go through this. You will always have him in your heart. There is nothing I can say to make it better but keep his memory alive by always talking about him, especially the funny times. It really does help to heal the pain.



I pray that the Lord be with you now and always to help you.



Love your cousin...Phyllis
