Joe Bugel's Daughter Dies

Daniel Snyder just spoke to the media, telling reporters that Holly Bugel, daughter of offensive line coach Joe Bugel, has died.

"She passed this morning and our hearts and prayers go out to Joe and his family. He will be leaving shortly here from Redskins Park to fly out to Arizona. We just want to wish them the best."

Holly Bugel, the second of Bugel's three daughters, had been battling a rare, aggressive form of bone cancer. Mike Wise recently wrote about the Bugel family

That is terrible news. I couldn't imagine the pain of losing a son or a daughter. My prayers be with Buges.

Sorry Joe, at least she's not in pain any more.

Sad news, indeed.

Having children, I can imagine his pain. My condolences, Buges.

Sad news indeed.

My thoughts are with you Joe!

Very sorry to hear it. What a loss for the Bugel family.

Very sad news, Sorry Joe, God bless the Bugel family

OMG - I am so sorry to hear this news.

Joe - you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear that. Heartbreaking really. Any idea how old she was? Did she have a family of her own?

Losing a child is every parent's worst nightmare. As someone said above, at least her suffering is over. From what I have heard, bone cancer is among the most painful. The family will be in our thoughts & prayers.

According to the Washington Times (Blog) she was 36.

Terrible, terrible news. My thoughts and prayers to Coach Buges and his family.

Buges is one of my all-time favorite coaches. Not for his records or accomplishments, but for his style, presence and his nature. Love ya, Joe, God Bless you and your family.

God Bless you Buges, your family, and your daughter Holly. May she Rest In Peace.

R.I.P. Holly.

We'll be thinking about you Buges.

Sad day.

I wish the Joe the best. This is the toughest one of them all, you don't expect to live to see your children die. Thats the one thing people don't expect to live in life, your almost pretty sure your gonna see your parents die, but to see your kids die is very sad. Best of luck to all the Bugels, I am sorry about your loss.

Dreadful, dreadful news. 36 is way, way too young.

What a shame.

My condolences to Mr. Bugel and his family.

very bad news. prayers are with you Joe

Thoughts and prayers goes out to Joe's Family.

Wow. At least when your grandparents and parents die you can rejoice they lived a full life and are in a better place. I always felt the loss was mine, I would miss them. Your kids dying before you is every parents worst nightmare. Once he's grieved I hope he can find a way again.

God bless the Bugal family.

What everybody else said. Sad, sad news.

My heart goes out to Joe and his family. It makes me wonder if this will be Joe's last year. If so, thanks for the memories and best wishes to your family.
