It came to my attention earlier today that Kurtis Foster and his wife Stephanie have suffered an immense personal tragedy: The passing of their infant daughter, Lila.

I don't like making public spectacle out of players private lives -- be they births, weddings, etc, so it's uncomfortable for me to write this... But I did want to express my profound condolences to the Foster's and their extended family.

Comments and well-wishes can be sent through the link in the title of this post. A memorial mass is scheduled in Petersborough, Ontario tomorrow at noon.
