Bills head coach Sean McDermott also commented on the matter, detailing what the Pegula family has done for him and calling their ownership the best in the NFL at the moment.
McDermott on Kim Pegula and family:
"Our thoughts and prayers are with them. What they've done for me, my family, team, city…. giving them prayers and support and the privacy they need is important at this time. We're all thinking of them and supportive of them."#Bills

By all accounts, Kim Pegula is an extremely valued member of not only the Bills and Sabres organizations, but also the wider Western New York community. She currently sits on the NFL’s workplace diversity committee, and also played a big role in Buffalo’s community response following the tragic shooting that resulted in the death of ten people at a grocery store last month.
We can only hope that everything turns out all right for the Pegula family during this difficult time.
