Michelle, it with a heavy heart and sadness that you have left us way too early. You have inspired everyone that knew you as you fought the horrific ALS disease. I will always remember you forever young, especially as a pretty girl with bouncy pigtails as you ran around playing ball, jumping waves and walking the beach at Salisbury Beach, NH. Love you forever!

Barney Megan Andrea Kaylie, I am so sorry for this time of your life for loosing a very special love of your lives. A Spouse, even thought it says ex, you were just as much a loving husband to have been there for Michelle through all the darkest days of her life, but you made it the best that she could have. You kept her neat, you loaded her up and took her anywhere she wanted/ needed to be. She didn’t miss seeing her baby girl Kaylie grow and enjoy life. I know that probably meant everything in life to her. I know she had to love you with a special kind of love for how you took care of her. So I might not have been around but I saw a lot of times thru these 9 years. You girls I know loosing a Mom and at such a young age is hard. But I know Michelle loved and cared about you all, yall were her heart. I know you girls have fought against ALS several times thru the years. I know we were all so shocked when we heard the news. My heart breaks for you all and I pray peace for each of you. Michelle is DANCING like you never saw her dancing her whole life.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of the Hammer and Daniels family members. Michelle was blessed with her family that loved and cared for her. Our family has lots of memories to look back on and smile about. She will be missed by many. Love to all, Ashley (Giles) Mischler
Steve and family

Beautiful lady. She is a heroine for the battle she fought, especially willing her life to be prolonged for her child. Now we pray that God will rest her soul and comfort the family as only He can.
Our souls rejoice for she no longer suffers. Our Spirit Praises The Mercy of God. Blessings to the Family.
I can remember all the good times we had as Michelle was growing up with visits to grandparents house with all the cousins running around. After her move South I did not have much contact with Michelle, but I retain her younger memories.
She was such a strong fighter with this terrible disease ALS. So sorry that her life was shortened.. Love Tom
Courageous Cousin
