They lost their lives at the hands of intoxicated driver Sean Higgins Thursday night, in town for their sisters wedding that was planned the next day. There has been an outpoor of emotion in the six days since, and both Matthew and Johnny's wives have been vocal about commemorating their incredible lives.
Today, Johnny's wife Meredith, who became a fixture in Calgary during Johnny's time with the Calgary Flames, released a new statement with pictures, commemorating the two's three-year wedding anniversary today.
Meredith Gaudreau is an incredibly strong woman for going through this horrible tragedy with such grace. We send her our most heartfelt condolences, and hope that Johnny's memory will live on in a beautiful fashion through their two kids.
