Family, friends, and fans have taken to social media to express their grief upon learning of the news of Ham's passing.

Alexandria Ham said of her sister:

Honestly — she was just all that’s good in this world. She was the life of the party, a spark plug, she loved everyone she met and everyone loved her too. She was always so happy and looked for ways to make every day, situation, or outing better. There really aren’t adequate words for how good she was.

Amelia Ham, Annabelle's other sister, wrote, "Sometimes I don’t understand why god does things but, I can’t even put into words how hard this is. You would never think something like this would or could happen to you until it does."

Ham's family in its statement, indicated that Ham "struggled with [epilepsy] for a long time and wanted to raise awareness for it." The family now says that it will raise awareness for this problem in Ham's name.
