And suddenly I feel so stupid over the things I get mad and stress about. Bless this woman’s sweet soul 🙏🏼
We all get mad at insignificant things until, as you relayed, we view something like this. I had made a promise to myself this new year not to sweat the small stuff. We don't realize that most things will pass and are not worth getting angry about. I learn new lessons each day, even at 60.
@@calpurniasdream852 thank you for your kind and wise words 😊
I'm dealing with alot of anxiety lately and even tho it sucks major I am alive and healthy. This made me appreciate that so much. This breaks my heart.😥
My condolences to her family and friends 💖
@@calpurniasdream852 I am also 60, and it is hard sometimes not to worry and become anxious over things. The last year especially has been really tough on me and my husband because of multiple surgeries and illnesses. A lot of it because of putting off medical care in 2020. I followed Melanie before she even got sick, and I was really hoping she would be able to beat this cancer. Extremely rare.
This just came up in my feed, and while I had not heard of her before I wish to express my sympathy to her family and loved ones. ❤️ She seemed like a lovely, caring person. This is a reminder of how I shouldn't complain about the aging process because some people don't get to make it this far!
So true!
This!
Perspective is everything! 💕
I agree!

Melanie was the reason i started quilting years ago. When i learned of her passing i felt like i lost a friend. Prayers for her sweet family.
What a beautiful, sweet and gifted woman. I am so sorry for her family. She looked so healthy as if she was lit up by an internal light. She positively glowed with goodness. RIP you perfect soul.
Sometimes, even people who appear healthy, are very sick. That’s why we should never judge people or assume that they aren’t fighting some internal battle. I respond simply because I too “appear healthy” but have had cancer myself, in remission Thank GOD, but now suffer dehabilitating symptoms from other “silent” illnesses and because I look healthy “on the outside,” my insides scream a very different story. It’s so frustrating getting even close family members to understnd or remember that sometimes.
You're right! This woman knew God.
@Danielle LaLa I am terribly sorry. You bring up SUCH a good point though.
I prat that, Lord willing, you don't succumb to cancer and are fully forever healed. May God be with you on this journey. My husband is a survivor.
@Danielle LaLa I understand exactly what you are saying and I fight the same post cancer battles each & every day from horrendous side effects and pray for an easier form of battle for our bodies sake when we have to fight that fight..my dad is in his third fight with metastatic kidney cancer, and I would take it from him if I could, even knowing from my own battle the scars it leaves..May God Bless & Keep this and all families of cancer warriors and Light your Way Amen.🛐🙏🤲🕯
God took this beautiful soul out of this sick evil world.
I had never heard of her until today, but she seemed like such a talented and loving person. My deepest sympathies to her husband and children.
Same just 😢, I lost both of my parents to this horrible disease.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May they rest in ever loving peace.
Rest in peace ..u seemed to b a very beautiful n kind person
I hadn't either. She was so talented. She must have taught so many people these wonderful skills to craft beautiful items. My condolences to her loved ones.💓🌺
@@jaboubaa928 I am very sorry to you and your family.🌹❤
This breaks my heart. She was a huge source of joy for me for several years and taught me how to crochet. I will forever cherish her selfless heart and kindness.
Absolutely! I learned so much from her tutorials. Especially back when the messie bun beanie blew up. She was amazing ✨
I’m sorry for your loss. She seems so lovely as if you just know she will be one of heavens greeters, she has that kind of spirit about her.
well said.
For her husband and children:
I’m so sorry for your loss.
May you find strength with each other. God bless and comfort you all.
This is so sad. Why do people who spew hatred get to live and angels like Melanie perish? This breaks my heart and I never even knew of her before this video. Prayers for her family and friends.
Find peace, dear Melanie.
This will baffle me until I die.A Tramp with no direction in life does not even visit a hospital or Clinic.But a person that is living their lives to their full potential gets sick and is gone.Who can understand this thing called life.???No answer is good enough!!!!!!!!
I ask the same thing every day.
Read the Bible more, you could use the enlightenment. Bad people die everyday also, it just isn't spoken about. Thousands of people died today, good and bad, they just weren't on UA-cam.
@@moniquejones6482 I am very much enlightened by God's precious word!!!.And I say that without arrogance or a know it all attitude.We are only human!!!!.God does not get irritated when we ponder on such things.What I do know for a certainty is that"There is a time to be born and a time to die".But it is certainly not God's plan.
What came to mind is, the angels leave a legacy in us. We get the opportunity to show what we have learned by helping and giving to the ones who need it.
I believe heard something relative to Hinduism, saying when ppl present them selves in off putting ways it just a piece of God who is acting outside itself since God is in all humans.
I think it's a good thing to ponder as long as we don't leave our minds in low vibrational space.
My heart goes out to her husband and children. Rest In Peace Melanie
Amen to that!
You can tell she was a good hearted person. The sadness in her eyes after the tumor came back is heart wrenching. Deepest condolences to her loved ones especially her children. R.I.P. Melanie Ham.
Aw man, losing anyone is tough, but losing a great wholesome caring mother just hits differently. Prayers to her family🙏🏾
I first came across Melanie's channel looking for how to sew a quilt. I've only been sewing for two years (a hobby born out of covid) and was so happy to use her "Your First Quilt" 4 part tutorial. (I posted my beautifully flawed quilt that I'm still quite proud of, with a huge credit and thanks to her). Since then, I had checked in numerous times for other great techniques. She was such a great teacher, and so positive and wonderful to learn from and work along side via her channel. I learned of her cancer only a few months ago from seeing some of her older posts. This is such sad and shocking news. She was so young and vibrant, a beautiful mom, and an inspiration. My condolences to her family on their tremendous loss.
And you will always have her with you because of what she taught you. That's what legacies are made of. 🌹
Randi G. Beautiful tribute.
When I saw the photo of her with her husband in the hospital it brought tears to my eyes. It was such a vulnerable moment and it's so scary to see what cancer can do. My condolences to her family and may she RIP 🙏 🕊 ❤
Hey Girl I need your opinion on the first clip if you are a fan of PUBG MOBILE❤️
So tragic! 💔
It was a bit haunting for me...sweet woman.Cancer sucks!
God please let our bodies be pure, free of disease. Keep us healthy an positive.
I repeat every day my thanks for being free of disease by the Grace of God who lives within me.I am thankful for His blessings and may everyone this disease touches be freed- now and Always.❤️🩹
May this beautiful Angel be God’s helper in Heaven.❤️🩹
This is so, so heartbreaking. What a beautiful young woman - She was so full of love and life.
She sounds like she was an amazing person. My sympathy goes out to her family.
I'm so sorry that Melanie lost her battle - and at such a young age. Blessings on her husband and children as they grapple with their loss and their grief. I lost my husband to kidney cancer 7 months ago and like many who find themselves suddenly alone, I am trying to navigate a whole new way of being. Man, I miss him. RIP, Melanie.
I'm so sorry for your loss! I wish you comfort and hope and all good things.
She is so pretty and looked so healthy, rest in power.
Cancer is not prejudice it took my husband but we fought the battle together
@@georgettewood8894 No, sadly it isn't. I'm sorry for the loss of your husband. How wonderful for him, though, that he chose a partner that wasn't afraid to stand up and fight with him. My dad is battling cancer right now. It's a long, scary & miserable process with no guarantee of a happy ending. 😢🙏
R.I.P. I learned to crochet from watching her videos. She’s always held a special spot in my heart even though I’m just a subscriber. I was going through the hardest stuff I’ve ever had to deal with and she helped me overcome that and taught me a skill that I’ll forever be grateful to her. Wishing her family the best. ❤️ 💕
Because of her I learned to do the magic ring I was always afraid to do. May she Rest In Peace
I don't know her, but going through my own health issues recently, I was really interested to know why a woman so close in age to me could die so young.
It was really tragic to hear that damn word "cancer," and when it's shown how she used her privledge to help others who didn't have that same privledge, it freaking broke me. All my thoughts are with her family, especially her kids. RIP to this beautiful soul.
Privilege? Ugh.
I've followed her tutorials on UA-cam for 5 years and loosing her was like loosing a best friend....especially after my sister died of cancer last year. I'm devastated. RIP sweet Melanie... Spread your wings and fly high....💓💓
I learned how to make my first quilt from her during lockdown. Her instructions were some of the best on UA-cam- I’ll always appreciate her sharing her skills! My condolences to her entire family.
Ah man you could see She’s holding back the tears and staying strong in those updates videos,May she R.I.P🙏🏽😔
I felt like I knew her from watching all of her tutorials. She was so kind and thoughtful. Rest in Heaven Melanie.
This is so heartbreaking. I can’t imagine the pain the family is going through. Condolences to her family and may we continue to remember Melanie and the legacy she left behind. 🙏❤️
This is the first time I hear of her, but all I can say is what love and sunshine this woman radiates just in the few clips shown here. It brings tears to my eyes knowing she likely loved her family as much as if not more than what she created and left behind for them. Prayers for her family.
Unfamiliar with her, but deeply touched by her story and essence. Heartfelt condolences to Melanie’s husband and children over your great loss. I’m so sorry. 🦋❤️ 🕊🙏
She was a wonderful person.
She was one of a kind Marly😢💞
I had never heard of this beautiful soul until today 🙏🏻 I’m praying for her family, and so very sorry for their loss!
Wow, she was very talented. Rest easy. I didn’t know her until today but I kinda wanna go on a UA-cam binge on her channel..
In life you just come across some stars and she was a gentle soul touching and teaching people across the world she was amazing. My prayers go out to all her family. 🙏🙏
Rest in peace Melanie, you were loved and will be missed. Heartfelt condolences to husband and children🙏🏻❤️🌸🌷
It is very sad to see someone so sweet, caring and talented go thru such an awful and painful situation. It breaks my heart just to think of what her husband, children and the rest of the family are going thru. My condolences and prayers for the whole family. RIP 😪
I had never heard of her and now I feel like I really missed out on watching an amazing woman. So so sad. That was so incredibly brave of her to share her story. Wow. Undoubtedly a very strong woman. My condolences to her family. She was obviously well loved and will be sorely missed. May she RIP. 🙏 ❤
I'm so sorry to hear this. My daughter and I started crocheting about a month ago. We found Melanie's channel so helpful and loved her sweet personality. We have been praying for her. This is heartbreaking.
This saddens me so much. I had never heard of her...but she has such a sweet spirit. Condolences to the family.
She was a beautiful soul. Wishing her family peace.
Never saw her channel but she seems like a very warm, lovely person. I’m so sorry she lost her war. So sad.
I had so much hope for her. When she posted her first video about them finding it, I just hoped she could beat it. She taught me so much. Been following her since 2013. I’ll miss her deeply.
This is tragic. Life is so cruel sometimes. My deepest condolences to Melanie's family and friends 🙏
The photo of Melanie in hospital clutching her husband as he holds her at her most vulnerable. It was raw, real and extremely sad. It broke my heart for Melanie, her husband, their children and their families. Thank you for the lessons Melanie. I’m sorry your life was cut so short. May you forever Rest In Peace 🥰🥰 much love to you all
I send my deepest condolences to her family on such a devastating loss. Such a young, beautiful and vibrant woman, wife and mother.
Godspeed to her beautiful soul.
RIP lovely lady, my heart goes out to her husband and children.
May GOD BLESS you all. ❤
So sad to hear about this talented woman. My condolences to her family, Melanie you may rest in peace.
Somehow this came up on my feed for the first time today. Such a talented and sweet lady. Her strength amazes me. I am struggling with lung cancer for 3 years and trying to get back home to my family in Ireland before I pass. I wish this family all the love in the world. Children and husband losing such a wonderful person too soon. So sad for you. God bless you all.
This is devastating, I used to watch her DIY videos, she was definitely such a creative and gentle soul.
Ohhh no she taught me to knit. Blessings to you Melanie as a Breast Cancer survivor I am sending you blessings, prayers always to your wonderful family.
I am battling breast cancer now. I had to watch this. Melanie died so young. She was so beautiful and talented. I am 38 years old. I pray GOD will help me win this war with breast cancer. Praying not just for healing but a cure.
🙏🙏🙏
I was still watching her videos, obvious to what was happening, until last year, I saw her health video updates. I was fairly new to her channel, I’d been following for 2 years now, but watching all her older videos to her most recent before she finally stopped crafting. My prayer go out to her family and friends and her most faithful followers, she had inspired me and gave me hope in my crafting journey to make memorable stuff not just quilting. God bless her family and hold them close in these sadden times. She is truly an inspiration and will always be remembered in her videos. Thank you.
Melanie's UA-cam videos helped me learn how to sew during the early months of the pandemic. Her spirit will live on in her work and all the work of others like me that she inspired.
I'd never heard of her until now, but after watching this video I'm sad that she is gone.😥😥😥
I pray that there’s a cure for cancer one day. It’s taken too many friends/family members. Rest easy, Melanie!
There is, but the big cancer industry companies wont let It be
@@jonlima9897
Very true. They are making more money, with chemotherapy, and radiation, and other drugs, that are still (so called)being trialled..
@@mariahewitt9787 same thing with aids
@@jonlima9897
True! Funny they can make a vaccine for Covid, but they haven't got a vaccine for HIV,Hepatitis C, Ebola virus.
@@mariahewitt9787 such a good point, they think we're stupid
Melanie an extraordinary and beautiful human being. PEACE, love and prayers for Robert, the kids and all so sadly affected. She lives on in all our hearts.
Saddened that this disease and the lack of better treatment has taken a woman who clearly had so much to share. May her spirit and creative talents live on in her vlogs. ❤️
Peace ,and comfort to Melanie's family....she blessed us greatly by her teaching 💝 her beauty truly shines🙌🏽🙏🏽.
This was just soooo sad! I really loved watching her all the time being a crocheter . I also had her beginner sewing videos added to playlist since I bought my first machine.
She is gonna be truly missed. I feel so bad for husband and her young children.
I too saw that pic her husband posted of her and him in hospital at the very end and that was just really heartbreaking!
Prayers go out to her family! 🙏🏻
Melanie was a light in this world, a gifted and encouraging teacher. With a huge heart and she will be missed deeply.
So heartbreaking, a beautiful person gone too soon… prayers for her family to be able to grieve but also have peace knowing they will be reunited together again in heaven.
I've haven't heard of her..........however she shines with such a beautiful, calming spirit! This is so heartbreaking to hear. My prayers and condolences go out to all that knew her and she touched. May God Rest Her Beautiful Soul.
I followed her on UA-cam, she was an inspiration for me. My condolences to her family and friends.
How sad. She seemed like such a beautiful caring soul.
Losing a loved one at any age is difficult. I didn't know her but reading about her I can tell she was an amazing woman. She shared her love, kindness and talents with the world and that will be her legacy. A legacy her children can be proud of. My condolences go out to her family and friends. May God give you the strength, peace and comfort you need at this difficult time.
Such young, vibrant and beautiful woman; my heart goes out to her family; may her soul Rest In Peace 🙏🏾
Thank you so much for posting this! Melanie lives on in all of us who she taught so well. Not just about crafting but of faith, perseverance and kindness. Her work with World Vision and the Pat Tillman foundation showed us just what a giving and caring human being she was. She and her husband Robert along with her beautiful children taught us so much. God bless them and their family and loved ones during this very difficult time.💔
💞💔
Absolutely Beautiful person . Learned to quilt and sew from her UA-cam videos . Her passion for sewing inspired me. Sending love to her family xx so sorry for your loss of this lovely woman xx
She inspired so many people during her short time on earth, thank you for everything Melanie RIP
My prayers go out to her family. I just recently made m 1st quilt by watching her videos. Her legacy and her sweet heart will live on
I also made my first quilt by following Melanie. What terrible news, we were lucky to have discovered her talent.
My deepest condolences to the family may God give you strength during this extremely difficult time.🙏
RIP Melanie. I loved your enthusiasm. You were so inspiring and a great teacher.

She will be missed. Sorry for your lost. She had a heart of gold doing so much for those in need. Pamela
Only days ago I came across This beautiful talented Woman on UA-cam. Thanks to Melanie, I am making my first patchwork quilt. I am deeply saddened to hear of her passing. Sending my heartfelt condolences to Melanie's Family.
So sad to hear about Melanie Ham. I came across her UA-cam channel when pandemic began , when I wanted to sew a face mask; she was the one I picked because her tutorial was clear and easy to understand and simple to, straight to the point, the way tutorials should be, since then I started following her, I also learned to make box pouch because of her, and I made several of them and gave them as gifts. She's very talented. RIP Melanie and condolences 💐 to your husband and kids.
My deepest sympathies to her family and friends. It’s really hard loosing a family member. I hope and pray God will give them the strength to go on. May God watch over her children and may she Rest In Peace.
My condolences go out to her husband and the rest of her family.
I learned how to quilt during the beginning of COVID finding Melanie on UA-cam. How very grateful I am I got to meet her. Prayers for her family.
When such a good person dies, it always makes me wonder "why them", they were good. Melanie is another one of the good people who brightened the world and who leaves brightness here to grow. She brightened and loved her family; she loved her work and her followers. She made a difference with her teachings in Honduras. My condolences to her family and loved ones, they must have meant so much to her and she to them. RIP
Rest In Peace, Melanie. I enjoyed your videos for years. You had a sweet spirit and amazing talent. Today, you are with your Jesus. ❤️
I just found this beautiful young woman while learning to make quilts. What a sweet, angel soul. What a sad loss for her family. Strength, love and light to all.
She is always with you. ❤️🙏🏽
My heart goes out to her husband and children. I lost my husband Aug. 2020 due to lung cancer . I’m not going to say it gets easier because it doesn’t, but you do learn how to handle the hurt.
So sorry about your lost dear ,so how are you doing
What an angel! Prayers for her beautiful family!
Wow, her energy was amazing. 😭
She is still touching so many people and i am one of them. Prayers and hugs for her family 💗
Rest in peace Melanie. I will crochet just like you showed us, my friends will always learn quilting from your videos and in that sense you'll always be remembered through generations.
This just broke my heart. My condolences to her family and many friends cultivate through her generous teachings. Life is a gift and this is just one of her many lessons.
Gone too soon! Rest in heavenly peace... Condolences to the family and loved ones...
Melanie will be missed by so many whom she inspired and those who love to crochet and I’m one of them. My deepest heart felt condolences goes to her family and all those who loved and love her. RIP Mel
Gone too soon, not fair. She seemed like a kind soul. Sending prayer of love and healing to her family.
I watch her video and can't help but feel anger. I see how gentle, kind, giving and attractive this women was. I look around and think why her, why not take the life of someone more deserving. I guess that statement is a matter of perspective. Lorin
So sad to lose someone who is obviously talented and had such a kind heart. I pray the Lord eases the grief of her family. 🙏❣
I miss her online. She was one of the first crafters I learned from and I started with crocheting
So very sorry to hear of Melanie's passing. A talented and inspiring woman with a big heart. Thank you for your wonderful tutoring. RIP
I’m so sorry prayers up to you and family
God Bless her. My thoughts, prayers and condolences are with her family and friends. She has gained her wings and now flying in heaven.
What a wonderful person! People who were close to her must be so grateful for having shared a life with her! Shout out of support to her family for their loss!
Made my first quilt following Melanie’s quilting videos. Farewell sweet woman. You are missed.
I'd never heard of her before seeing this. My heart goes out to her family.
May her precious soul rest in perfect peace,
Condolences to her beloved family and friends!
We pray the good Lord would confort her family with peace.
She was so special! I made my first blanket for my grandson with her.
Then hats for the homeless using her straightforward simple guide.
She is a beautiful soul! She was gone too soon !
Love, hugs and prayer to you all.
I never came across her channel, she seems like a beautiful soul. My heart aches for the family, her friends and followers. RIP Melanie!
I love Melanie’s videos and have been watching them for years. I made my first quilt with one of her quilt-a-long videos. She was so talented.
