Monica was a true, honest, and loyal friend. Anyone could see that she was naturally beautiful. She never needed an ounce of makeup, but she enjoyed doing hair and makeup - hers and mine. She always saw the good and beautiful things in other people and made sure to tell them. She had a way of making people feel seen and loved. I will forever cherish our days tumbling on the AC beaches, riding on the boat (and driving your dad crazy by getting stuck in the mud), making up dances and stunts, flipping off the trampoline, swimming, cheering and growing up together. Then when we were grown and had kids of our own, I got to see what a beautiful and loving mom you were. You laughed when I had blonde, outgoing daughters. You said they could be yours. But I knew you’d have blondes, and be an amazing mother. Of course, your kids always looked like a million bucks. Their hair was meticulously done with matching outfits and cute as can be. But more importantly, they were meticulously and unconditionally loved. You lived and breathed to be their mom. You doted on them, played with them, took them to every fun place imaginable. You talked about their strengths and what made them unique. Little Freddy was the best big brother, so patient and kind. Cody was the old soul who loved to drink tea before bed. They have grown into amazing young men, and that is a testament to what a great mom you were. They were your everything, and then God blessed you with a GIRL! Lexi was the sweetest addition to your family. I’m so happy you were able to watch her cheer and coach her along the way. Jordan is your miracle baby. You never left his side, but you hated to leave Lexi and the boys when you took him to be treated. I pray Freddy, Cody, Lexi and Jordan, that you know how very truly and unconditionally you are loved. You were her whole life. All she wanted was the best for each of you. I pray that you feel her presence and God’s love shining down on you. Mr and Mrs Hammel, Keith and Dean, I pray for God’s peace for you all. You will all always hold a special place in my heart. Until I see my beautiful friend again, I will continue to pray for your children.

Sending prayers for family 🙏

Gene and Eleanor. We are deeply sorry for your loss. You and your loved ones are in our thoughts and prayers."

Loving thoughts and prayers for this beautiful young lady who I am so very proud to call my niece. Rest in peace, Monica Lynn. Love always, Aunt Janet

My deepest condolences to Monica’s family and friends. I am from Australia and was incredibly fortunate to come in to contact with Monica due to the health issues her son Jordan was born with as I founded a global support group for his condition. Monica decided she wanted to share her journey with Jordan in an effort to give hope to parents of newborns with the same issues and to most importantly let them know they aren’t alone. Monica’s story touched so many people around the world and we all are extremely grateful she shared her story, but now feel immense sadness with her passing. R.I.P. to truly wonderful person. 🙏🏽

Monica was a Beautiful Person inside and out. She was a shining light in this world and she will be greatly missed and always remembered 💗

Some friendships feel like fate. Monica was one of those people for me. We reconnected when we were both pregnant — joking that we were becoming “old moms” together — and from that moment on we could talk for hours about everything: politics, motherhood, life, and all the messy, beautiful parts in between. Life didn’t always give us the time to talk as often as we wanted, but whenever we did, it was like no time had passed. What made our connection even more powerful was something deeply personal. Her son was born with the same rare condition I had as a child. I understood the fear she was living through in a way most people couldn’t — because I had been that sick kid. Watching her navigate that world as a mother showed me just how unbelievably strong she was. Monica was the kind of mom every child deserves — fierce, devoted, and full of love. My heart is broken knowing she’s gone. I hate that life sometimes got in the way and we didn’t always talk as much as we should have. But the truth is, the time we shared meant everything to me. She was someone I loved deeply and respected endlessly. Monica, you were an incredible mother, an amazing friend, and one of the strongest women I have ever known. The world is quieter without you in it. I will miss you more than words can ever say. ❤️ I am so heartbroken that I will not be to attend your visitation because I will be traveling for work, but you will be in my heart and thoughts that day and always.

Dear Eleanor, Gene, Family and Grandchildren, As a parent, my heart is heavy for you. I know that Monica's pain is gone, and she is in Heaven with God. I pray that your pain is eased as time goes by, and you are comforted by this thought. I hope her children will remember her as the Loving Mother she was, and though she isn't with them in life, Monica will be watching over them always from Heaven. I hope that Your Family will be able to Nurture and Love them, as Monica would have wanted. Who can do this better then the Family that Knew and Loved Her for her life time. I pray that God will comfort You and Your Grandchildren Always. With Sincere Sympathy, Kathleen Verdinelli

My deepest sympathy to the Hammel family...I have fond memories of Monica when she was a child skiing up in the Poconos. A beautiful young lady. I'm so sorry for your loss. Way too young, to be gone.

Dear Monica’s Family, I am sending my deepest sympathy to all of you. All of you will be in my thoughts & prayers. I know losing her has put a whole in your heart. She lived for her children & family. I’ve only knowing her for a short amount of time, but I can tell you she has touched my heart. She was one of the 3 wonderful coaches that my daughter Sailor had this season on Riot. Lexi & Sailor have be come friends & go to the same school. Monica would come to practice with smiles on her face in that summer heat. She helped get the girls amped up. Then during sideline cheer often coming a few minutes behind because she took her older son to football practice or to his game. Or was exhausted from picking up at a friends house. The thing is she truly lived for every single moment of it. Every moment making her children happy made her heart smile. All four of them lit up her life & kept her going for as long as she could. When she told me she was terminal we talked. She said I was the first person who actually understood what she was going through. I told her I wish I could have met her sooner so that she could have been cured like my stepdad was for the same thing. She said to me thank you but I’m going ok. I believe she knew she was put on this earth to touch our lives & make people happy. When I heard the news, all I could think of was her children. I want you to know, your mom is never far away from you. You keep sharing memories of her with each other. Because that will keep her spirit close to yours. Her greatest legacy was her 4 babies. Keep loving her the same way you did when she was here. Look for rainbows & sunrises & know that it’s her. Monica, I know you are at peace & it’s never a goodbye. We will see you later! #wearetwp Love, Theresa

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
