Dear Jo and the Hammer Family,

I was so sorry to read of your mother’s death September 28, 2022. I believe that I had just seen Jo at Lowes on battleground not long prior to her passing. She was a classmate of my mother’s at Greensboro College. I remember her well growing up and later any time that I came over or saw her how gracious and welcoming she always was. Her warmth and smile was always appreciated. I was sorry that I did not see the obituary in time to attend the service. She loved God and was an example of His love and character to all. I did not know that she was a sought after counselor . Had I known that I am sure that I would have sought her out myself! It is in hindsight that we realize so many precious people who we might have spent more time with here in earth are gone. I know that your dad and grandfather welcomed the sight of her again! You were so blessed to have them as parents! Somewhere I read the article recently describing your family’s “fire escape plan” and how you actually had to use that! Amazing story! I hope to see you soon Jo! With  Love , Jan Cline

Though I have not seen your mother in many years I remember her kind, twinkling eyes and her welcoming attitude whenever I had an opportunity to visit the Hammer home. She was certainly a witness of her faith in Jesus Christ and carried that so well as she practiced her Catholic faith. What a wonderful legacy she left with her six children and many grandchildren! 

While washing dishes just now,  Hannah popped into my head.  I wondered how she was doing, or if--oh dear!--she had died.  I ran to the computer and typed her name.  That is how I found this obituary and page.   Hannah was a lifeline to me 20 years ago when I was dealing with a crisis.  Her prayers were so powerful, and I felt the Holy Spirit surround us each time we met.  This tiny woman had giant faith, and she used it to fight the devil and be a vessel of God's love.  May her children, and all of us, rise up and call her Blessed!  

Dear Hannah,
May God reward your sweet holy soul with His Eternal Joy in His Presence forever as you praise Him face to face now as you did so faithfully here on earth at every moment. 
  Hannah and Dick worshiped their Holy Lord Jesus Christ with their whole beings and were an inspiration to myself and many hundreds of people with their example of faith in The LIVING God and tireless work to make Him known and praised.
May you rest in Joy and peace forever with your dear husband Hannah.   Love, Lorraine Brown 

Dear Hammer Family,

I was so saddened to hear of your  mothers passing. Many fond memories of visiting with your mom and all the cousins at aunt Ethel's house in West End. We would visit with my dad Lee when you all were in town.

Sincerely,
Neil Sutphin

We can’t say enough about her.  She brought everyone closer to God in truth and love. I was honored to have helped her at multiple retreats and presentations that she gave instructing about the gifts of the Holy Spirit. She was a powerful prayer and healer, and spoke of God’s liquid love that covers us. When my mother passed, “Momma” Hannah she said she would be our Mother and Grandmother. She evangelized in every day and most certainly lived her calling like a saint. The Romie family

Hannah was my Spiritual Director at a time of crisis in my life.  In June of 2021, I received a beautiful dream, letting me know she would soon be home with her Lord.  In the dream, her family & friends were ‘aghast’ because she was 93 and getting married!!  I saw the Wedding invitation, with scripture from Song of Solomon…this was a ‘love affair’!!  And at the bottom were ‘meal tickets’, showing that after they were married, there would be a boxed meal for two, paid for by the Bridegroom, delivered straight to their home, every single day.  So I want you to know, that Hannah is enjoying a personal meal with Jesus, her Beloved, every single day for an eternity.  And He only has eyes for her.  

This dear woman taught me how to forgive!   She had a very big impact on my life when I needed it most!   I am confident she is resting in the loving arms of Our Lord now!   How blessed I feel to have known this amazing blessed woman!

The world will miss the strength of this fine Christian woman who meant so much to our family. Kathy Kelleher Sohn

Dear Katherine and all of the Hammer Family,
     Please accept our sincerest condolences on the death of your wonderful mother.  We have many fond memories of her from our friendship with Ed and Katherine. She was an amazing woman who blessed us all with her kindness, her wisdom and her faith. We were fortunate to know her. We were blessed by her prayers for us on so many occasions.  We pray for your family as you navigate these waters of grief.  
Peace,
Joan and Skip Garten

. “The death of a mother is the first sorrow wept without her.”  Condolences to all of you in the grand legacy she has left us.

It was with great sadness we learned of the passing of Hannah.  She was a great lady who was a gift to all who knew her.  She had a wonderful smile and big heart. 
 May God's grace be with the family.  Dena & BJ Barnes
