Today, the memorial service for late NHL star Johnny Gaudreau, who was killed by a drunk driver along with his 29-year-old brother Matthew last month, was held at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church in Media, Pennsylvania. The 31-year-old Columbus Blue Jackets star forward was biking near Oldmans Township, New Jersey with his brother on August 29th, the eve of their sister Katie’s wedding. Gaudreau was the top forward for Columbus, and had been recognized as an All-Star multiple times throughout his storied career. And early this morning, the team posted a heartbreaking tribute to their fallen teammate: https://twitter.com/BlueJacketsNHL/status/1829484156679520286 Gaudreau left behind his wife, Meredith, and his two children Noa, who is almost two, and Johnny, who was born earlier this year. And at the memorial service this afternoon, Meredith announced that she's pregnant with their third child, saying that she and Johnny had the "best six months" of her life as a family of four and she views it as the "ultimate blessing": "John and I had the best six months as a family of four. These will forever be the best six months of my life. There's specifically one week that I will cherish forever – it will be my favorite week of my life out of those six months. We're actually a family of five. I'm in my ninth week of pregnancy with our third baby. In less than three years of marriage, we've created a family of five. It doesn't even sound possible, but I look at it as the ultimate blessing. How lucky am I to be the mother of John's three babies? Our last one being a blessing and so special despite these difficult circumstances." https://www.youtube.com/live/PTpNcmvgdCk?si=F2B3CM_JSueFkBwz&t=3662 Madeline Gaudreau, Matthew’s wife, is also pregnant, and in a post on Instagram a few months ago, she shared that she's due in December. https://www.instagram.com/p/C8iVHAZJWFk/ While obviously, it will be difficult for both of them to go through pregnancy without their beloved husband's, they will both welcome new life amid such an unthinkable and sad situation. https://www.instagram.com/p/C_fzxplxNiB/?img_index=1
