One of Ham’s sisters, Alexandria, told The Post on Tuesday that Ham “struggled with epilepsy for a while.”

“Honestly — she was just all that’s good in this world. She was the life of the party, a spark-plug, she loved everyone she met and everyone loved her too,” Alexandria said in a message.

“She was always so happy and looked for ways to make every day, situation, or outing better. There really aren’t adequate words for how good she was.”

Ham’s other sister, Amelia, confirmed the internet star’s passing on Monday in a heartfelt Instagram post.

“Sometimes I don’t understand why god does things but, i can’t even put into words how hard this is,” she wrote.

“You would never think something like this would or could happen to you until it does.”

She described Annabelle as “amazing,” “sweet” and “such a good sister” to herself and Alexandria, who also shared her heartbreak online.

“She was so sweet, so pretty with the most bluest eyes ever, she was always happy and lighted up every room. but god was ready for her,” Amelia continued.

“I know she always wanted to live life to the fullest, that’s what we have to do now. and i know she is dancing around in heaven right now. i can’t wait to give u a big hug one day.”

Amelia thanked people for their kind messages and condolences, promising to never forget her late sister.
