Madeline Gaudreau, wife of the late Matthew Gaudreau, has welcomed a baby boy named Tripp, honoring her late husband's dream of fatherhood.
The Instagram post shows Madeline holding her newborn's tiny hand, as he lays peacefully on a blanket. Tripp's father, former pro hockey player Matthew Gaudreau , and his uncle, Columbus Blue Jackets star Johnny Gaudreau , died in August. The brothers were home in Oldmans Township, New Jersey for their sister's wedding and were riding bikes when they were struck by a driver suspected of being under the influence of alcohol, according to police.
Johnny Gaudreau, 31, left behind his wife, Meredith, and two children. Matthew Gaudreau, 29, was survived by his pregnant wife, Madeline.Meredith commented, 'I love you Baby Tripp!' on Madeline's photo announcement, while Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau's sister, Katie, wrote, 'Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! Aunt Katie loves you, mommy, and daddy SOOOO much.' 'He was born to be a dad,' Madeline Gaudreau said at the brothers' funeral in September. 'The moment we found out about our son Tripp, it consumed his every day. He was downloading apps, ordering books, finding the best diaper brand, making sure I had the best vitamins and asking for tips from John. I will never forget the tears he had in his eyes when he first heard Tripp's heartbeat.'Madeline and Meredith Gaudreau pledged to take care of each other and their children. 'Please continue to take care of John like you always have,' Meredith Gaudreau said in a message to Matthew at the service. 'I got Madeline and Tripp.''Please do not put another family through this torture,' she said.Higgins, who told police he had about five or six beers before the crash, failed a field sobriety test, according to the probable cause affidavit.
