Cooper Reed Mardesich 2004-2008

This post has taken me a few days to collect all my thoughts.... Cooper Reed Mardesich 4 years old. Lost his life on August 21, 2008. He was run over while crossing the street at the bus stop. He was with Sharon saying goodbye to his older brothers that were getting on the bus for school. He was the cutest sweetest little boy you could ever know. He had the biggest brown eyes, and was always smiling. This has been very difficult for our family because the Mardesich family is one of our closest friends. Ted and Sharon were one of the first people we met when we moved to Saratoga Springs. Ted and Sharon are the most amazing people that we know. Karissa was saying just the other day how she wants to live her life to be like Sharon. Always forgiving of everything, so understanding, willing to do anything for anyone. An example of Sharon's heart, today at the luncheon she asked US what she could do for us and if there was anything she wanted to know. AMAZING!! Today was the Funeral. It was bitter sweet. It really is amazing how one little boy has touch so many lives, and all the lives that the whole family has touched. We will forever be blessed to know this great family!! We love and will miss you little Coop.

Karissa off to College!!!

WOW!! I can't believe Karissa is off to college. We took her down to Snow today. It was exciting but also very hard. Her apartment is very cute. Karissa and Erika's room looks so cute. They have it all fixed up and are ready to go. It was fun to see the reaction when they realized that their back door leads right out to the Jacuzzi. It was fun spending the day with her and getting organized and shopping for the last minute stuff that she needed. Mom does pretty good till I think about it then I start to cry (just like now). My play buddy is off and on her own now. This will be a great experiance for her. I am so glad she decided to go.It has been kinda tough for her to go also, but not because of me, because of her boyfriend Robbie who is going to UVU. So I am sure that we will still see lots of her cause she will come home as much as possible on the weekends to see him:)
