Jessica Pegula said her mother was behind her father’s success.
“She jumped into this journey with him and learned many lessons along the way in which, breaking a number of barriers,” Jessica Pegula wrote. “She was the shift in culture, positivity and the heartbeat of a lot of the workers. She gave everyone a lot of her effort and time.”
“Now we come to the belief that each one of that’s more than likely gone,” she wrote. “That she won’t have the option to be that person anymore.”
On the Australian Open last month, Jessica Pegula wore a patch with Hamlin’s jersey number, 3. “Mockingly, yes, I used to be ranked No. 3 on the earth,” she wrote. “Nonetheless, it didn’t feel prefer it was only for him, it felt prefer it was for my mom as well.”
Jessica Pegula said that when she heard what had happened to Hamlin, it was a “bizarre, messed-up, full-circle moment,” considering what her mother had also endured.
“Again, I often don’t get an excessive amount of anxiety, however the considered what Damar and his family were about to undergo hurt my heart,” she wrote.
Jessica Pegula said that her family had all the time been private but her mother’s health scare had weighed heavily, making a “massive void” in her family and within the Bills and Sabres organizations and a “harsh reality” for everybody else involved, including employees and fans.
“I desired to tell all of them that you’ve got no right knowing what happened, but at the identical time people desired to know because they were scared,” she wrote. “Their leader, boss, friend, co-worker, all suddenly didn’t answer her phone, or emails, and all her meetings were canceled.”
