Please pray for the Mardesich Family



This morning my son was on the bus that witnessed the little 4 year old boy, Cooper Mardesich get hit by the above blue minivan. He later died at Primary Children's Hospital. The Mardesich family has been such a great part of the Saratoga Springs community and my heart goes out to them. I really can't imagine what they must be going through right now. Please keep them in your prayers.

I'm sitting here with goose bumps. What do you say when something like this happens? I am so sad for their family, and for the entire community. I'll be keeping their family and yours in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh that is so sad. I hope your son is okay. It's hard when you witness things like that, or when they happen so close to home.

Thanks for all the thoughts about Wyatt, but really... he's fine. It was kind of crazy to find out that he was on THAT bus, but all I can think about is that poor family that lost their little boy. SO SAD!

I still can't stop thinking about it. I'm giving my kids extra hugs and kisses! So sad!

I don't want to send my kids out the door! I just want them to stay home with me so I can hold them. I feel so bad for this poor family! Sad day!

Could someone please let me know when the funeral is. Ted and Sharon were such good friends of mine. He had such a positive effect on my life as a young man. Ted was my scout master 14yrs ago

I don't think they have funeral arrangements yet, but I'll keep checking and post it in these comments if I find out.

The funeral is on Monday at 11o'clock. It will be at the Saratoga Springs Stake Center. Sorry, I don't have an address.

It truly is such a heartbreaking tragedy! I cry everytime I think about it. I can't even imagine what the poor Mardesichs are going through.

My prayers are with them.
I am heart sick about Sharon and her sweet son. What a tragic loss.
They were in our Stake for a time and loved their family. Sharon and I played ball together.

I am so sorry for your son and the whole community.
May the healing continue...

This is so sad. When I saw Wyatt the other night, it was so late, so I didn't ask anything about the incident. How is he doing?

This is so dang sad. I watched the video and was horrified! It is very sad that the mom and all those kids had to witness it. This was a good opportunity to teach my 16 year old how careful he has to be! It's too bad the 15 year old was driving without a license. He is going to have a tough time the rest of his life. I'm so sorry!
