It's so hard to put into words the feelings i have at this time. i only knew of devin i never got to know her personally that i can recall but i do know she was a great person who was loved by many and will be missed by all. i'm still in shock from this because too many people in this age group are gone and it scares me as well. i never had a sister but i have two daughters and i dont know what i would do if something like this would of happened to one of them. you all are in my thoughts and prayers and i hope that the fond memories stay forever.

To Devin's Family,
I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I did not know who she was until I heard on the news that her last name was Ham. It was then that I realized I had went to school with her at SFHS. I did not know her personally but I did remember her. I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I cannot say that I know, just how you feel For your hurt is so great, and will take God's touch to heal Yet is it possible for such a wound, to completely ever mend When you've lost your mate, parent, child or good friend Please know that I pray for you, each and every day And feel God's Holy Spirit, in small and simple ways And then I am reminded, of such a simple phrase With all the strength that's in you, please walk by faith So come to me and talk about, anything you feel For I'll be here in body, but Christ will soon reveal That while it is impossible, for a friend to end your pain HE will bring about a peace, and in your hurt sustain

I met Devin when I was a server/bartender at Chili's in Florence. I remember her never putting up with any of the drama that develops in a restaurant environment, however at the same time putting on a smile and having a great time with the co-workers she was friends with and especially the guests(despite how rude they might have been, this is just the way of customers). It wasn't until after she left Chili's though that she became very close to myself and my girlfriend at the time. Devin would come over fairly often to hang out and play with our dogs we had. She was definitely a fighter and knew how to make someone feel important, especially her friends and loved ones. I never got the chance to meet any of her family, but you have my deepest sympathy and prayers for what you are going through. Just remember that family is what is most important in times like these and that even though life isn't fair by any means, God does have plans for everyone, whether its blessings and sympathy for your family, or his wrath for those at fault. It truly was a gift to have had such an amazing friend in the small time I lived in Florence, and she will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Devin you're in a better place and will never be forgotten.

The loss of a love one is so hard to face,
you just want to hide,
go some where and escape!
But death is something,
we all must go through,
I know it’s hard,
when it’s someone you loved and knew.
Just know now,
he is in a better place,
no more hurt or pain shall he face.
It seems unfair and yes this is true,
but he is in Heaven now
watching over me and you!
God has called him home to rest!!
And he’s being well taken care of
Because God knows best!
