«It was always Matty and John. I can't even put into words how special the bond was between these two, and right now, I don't have the strength.
They were each other's biggest cheerleader. Matt relied on John in so many ways, but the most important was the father he was to Noa and Johnny.
It brings me so much comfort to know they are together, just as they always have been. I know they will continue to tease and support each other, and to take care of all of us. (their family)
With Meredith (Johnny Gaudreau's wife), we will always share this extreme tragedy... But the guys couldn't have chosen stronger women to be their wives and mothers of their children. We will support each other through all seasons and all times.
Just as the guys would have.
They gave us the most beautiful gift with our children... Through them, we will always have a piece of our men on Earth with us.
I love you my beautiful husband, I love you John, I love you Meredith, I love you Noa, I love you Johnny, and I love you baby Tripp.»
