When you think a situation could not get worse, Johnny Gaudreau's wife Meredith announced in her eulogy for her husband that she is 9 weeks pregnant with their 3rd child.
Gaudreau said the week she found out about her third child was her "favorite week" of her life.
"We're actually a family of five," she said during Monday's funeral. "I'm in my ninth week of pregnancy with our third baby. A total surprise, but, again, Johnny's beaming and so excited. I was so nervous because, again, this was a total surprise, but his reaction was just immediately kissing me and hugging me even though I was driving the car.
"After the initial excitement sank in, every time he would look at me he would just say, 'You're nuts, you know that?'" Meredith said Monday. "Noa, our oldest, is not even 2 yet. In less than three years of marriage, we have 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."
Our hearts go out to her and her family as this should be one of the most exciting times of their lives, but now, they have to try and go on with out a loving father, brother, husband and son.
She talked about what the city of Columbus meant to her and Johnny during her speech at today's service.
"I can't describe how shattered I am that I don't get more time in your amazing city with John," she said.
In two seasons with the Blue Jackets, Gaudreau had 33 goals and 101 assists in 161 games.
"John was so proud to wear your colors every single day," the way I described Columbus is similar to the way I describe John," she said. "You have to come and find out for yourself, and then once you know it, you love it."
We here at Bruins Latest want to wish her and the Gaudreau family all the prayers and love in the world.
