The Gaudreau brothers, originally from New Jersey, played on hockey teams throughout their lives and were teammates at Boston College.
Sharing another tribute, Madeline highlighted the bond the siblings had in a Instagram post from September 1stMadeline wrote: “It was always Matty and John. I can’t even put into words the bond these two had and I don’t have the strength to right now. They were each other’s biggest cheerleaders.” Noting that she finds “extreme comfort” in the fact that her husband and brother-in-law “are together like they always were,” she wrote: “I know they are still looking out for each other and will continue to look after their families.”
She also shared a message for her sister-in-law: “To Meredith, we will always share this extreme pain and terrible bond… however, the boys could not have chosen stronger women as wives and mothers to their children. We will support each other through every stage… as the boys would support each other. They blessed us with children… through them we will always have a part of their earthly side with us forever.”
