Monday was another tough day.
Family and friends gathered at St. Mary Magdalene in Media, Pa., to honor the lives of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, who were tragically killed by a suspected drunk driver on the evening of Aug. 29.
Johnny's widow and wife of three years, Meredith, delivered a touching and heartbreaking eulogy, a tribute to her late husband. She thanked him for the best years of her life, and shed additional light on what made Johnny a great father, friend and human.
"(Johnny) was everything and more... that I only dreamt about finding in a husband and then he made all my dreams come true. Every day, I strived to be more like him," Meredith said.
The way I describe Columbus is similar to the way I describe John. You have to come out and find out for yourself, and then once you know it, you love it

"The way I describe Columbus is similar to the way I describe John," Meredith said. "You have to come and find out for yourself, and then once you know it, you love it."
Meredith and Johnny welcomed two children, Noa and Johnny, upon arriving in Columbus in the summer of 2022. Meredith revealed during her eulogy that she is pregnant with the couple's third child.
