Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Kurtis Foster and his family are mourning the loss of their first child, Lila, who passed away on May 10, just five days after her birth.
Tampa Bay’s Foster, Family Mourn Loss Of First Child
↵Foster rose to prominence on the ice this season by setting career-highs in assists and points. The 28-year-old was also named as one of three finalists for the Bill Masteron Trophy, which is given to the player who “best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey. The winner will be announced next month.
↵“Her time with us was a blessing and beautiful Lila enjoyed hearing lullabies and Mother Goose from her loving parents, grandparents and family,” Lila’s obituary states in The Examiner on Wednesday.
“Thank you Lila for the love you have brought and for touching our lives forever. We will miss you always little Peanut.”
↵I followed this guy’s resurgence this season with the Lightning, and can’t imagine what he and his family are going through at the moment. Send your good thoughts to the Foster camp in the weeks to come.
