It has been hard, but we are Buffalo.  We are tough enough to take it and come back stronger.

Also the fire that killed 5 children. I think it was on Sunday.

Do we know if there is anywhere to donate for the blizzard victims families and the 5 kids who died in the fire?

I'm just speaking for myself, but I'm done being tough or resilient. I need something amazingly good to happen to this community. There's been too much suck since the Tops shooting.

It’s been unbelievable.

I made a list earlier and forgot about the Araiza thing! Just Unreal. 

[LABILLBACKER]

Add losing Von to that list...

Nope, not officially.  She’s been 100% out of the public eye since her hospitalization

I thought so. It must be pretty serious. Man,what a year for Buffalo😥 

One thing's for sure, talk about adversity! Don't see any team in the league that's dealt with more. Outstanding leadership in our organization...top to bottom
