Here's the post in question from journalist Mark Scheig.
«They are not alone in the city. They have us, so we have to be there for them.»
«We all then thanked him and wished him a good summer. Who would have thought that these would be our last words to him?»
And the journalist adds this.
«If there's one thing I hope Gaudreau is remembered for, it's how much he deeply cared about the people in his life.»
