She collected homemade cards from 40 schools in Cincinnati wishing Hamlin a speedy recovery after he collapsed on the field of Paycor Stadium during Monday night’s game between the Bengals and Bills.
One of them was from Edwin.
“Dear Damar Hamlin, I am so sorry about your injury,” Edwin wrote. “I was up till 3:00 a.m. thinking about you. Get better soon the Bills are nothing without you.”

Taylor’s son, Brooks, joined his fifth-grade class at Cardinal Pacelli in writing a letter to Hamlin, WCPO said.
“He got really hurt — and he’s not just a player, he’s a person too, so we need to support him so he gets better,” Brooks Taylor said.
Taylor has also been working with fellow NFL coaches’ wives to deliver cards from across the country and tells WCPO she is waiting on cards from Kansas City and Seattle.
