Dear Myrna,
We met on a chilly, wintry Saturday afternoon in Liverpool, NY in 1978 when I was five years old. For those who were there that day, it seemed like an accident but now we know it happened for a reason. That day was the beginning of a lifelong family friendship with you, Larry, Robert, Nathan, Dana, Donavan and your now extended family. Nate and I instantly became best friends that day it seems and your great sense of humor, wit and giving nature was instilled in all of your children. Thank you to you and Larry for allowing me to come back to B'ville to stay at your house for whole summers after moving away as a teenager. Those summer extended stays at the Harmon residence were the best times of my life. You always found a way to communicate and teach Nate and I life lessons at the same time you made us laugh with your directness. We know putting up with us teenage fools wasn't easy! You have brought joy and laughter to so many throughout your life and we are all lucky to have known you which turned us all into better people. Your life was a blessing, you are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure and we all found treasure in you. There are special people in our lives who never leave us even after they are gone. Thank you for bumping into us on that wintry day Myrna.

A quote we read with your family in mind:
Grief is the last act of love we can give to those we loved. Where there is deep grief, there was great love.

Myrna was like a second mom to me growing up. Nobody made me laugh like she did back when I was a moody teenager. I'm blessed to have had her in my life and gotten to know her. She loved her family and all of us so much. My deepest condolences to her family and everyone who loved her in return.

Dana, and the whole Harmon family: How saddened we were to hear of dear Mryna's passing. We hold dear, all those memories of you, and James, and your growing up...especially the Baldwinsville Marching Band performances and competitions! We have stopped in on the live stream for the calling hours and so wish we were with all of you. Love the music and seeing all the pictures.

I was so sorry to hear of Myrna's passing. I was honored to have met her several times. Even in our few conversations, it was clear how much she loved her family and how much you loved her. My most heartfelt condolences. My thoughts are with you.

I met Myrna, myThornton cousin, last year, on the phone. My sister Bonita Thornton introduced us, giving me her phone number. I already had a snapshot of Myrna with her mother and siblings at a wedding. Years ago, her mother, Aunt Jack, wrote me letters and sent pictures of her family. I told Myrna that I was DNA matching Robert Hestle and a M.H. Harmon whose ancestry account was mangaged by M. Donovan. She told me, yes, this was her family.
I appreciate her sharing some family history memories with me. Immediately I felt her warmth, friendliness and openness while she talked about her life. I will miss having phone conversations with this Thornton cousin.

I'm very blessed to have such a wonderful, loving and nurturing mother! She taught me how to be strong and loving and self sufficient! Whatever her heart felt when we were together it felt like we were twins reading each others minds. I can remember times that people would ask my mom if we were brother and sister being only 18 years apart and she would just smile and say no that's my son. She loved that! I'm going to see her today with my wife (Patricia Harmon) and my kids Aaron and Chelsea Harmon for the final time. This is not over with!! I will see her and my dad Larry Harmon in heaven someday!!! May God keep there spirits safe!!! I miss you mom and love you!!!

While sending my condolences to the Harmon Family, I want to also thank each one of you for sharing Your Mom with me and my family. Myrna is such a remarkable, beautiful, fun loving Person that touched so many of us and has left many many memories, that we will cherish forever. Whether it was at our house at a cookout enjoying Rick’s Ribs, cruising on the Seneca River, or meeting every Wednesday for Bingo. We always had fun ( you always won), we laughed and missed a few numbers at times too!!! I’ll miss you even more now but I know Larry greeted you with open arms... Thank you for your friendship, love and laughter. Until we meet again...

Our Love and Prayers are with Bobby, Nathan and Dana and their families. Larry, Myrna, Evelyn, Bubba became our friends 1976. I introduced them to Eric and a special relationship began that lasted well over 50 years. We boated together and took many boat trips together. Crossing Lake Ontario was one that I will never forget, but it was fun.
We always had Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner together. Myrna's prime rib was always succulent and delicious,
After Larry passed we became very close. When she moved into an assisted living apartment I would pick her up and we would go to beauty parlor together. I also took her shopping or did her shopping for her.
I also invited her to join the NCNW, Inc. and my Red Hat Group.
She enjoyed working and entertaining with both groups, she will be missed . She was always the life of the party, and they all loved her.
REST IN PEACE MY SISTER. LOVE YOU!!!

Myrna and Larry became our family in June of 1976 when we relocated to Syracuse w/Jos. Schlitz Brewing Company. In addition to both of us working with Larry, we became Family to each other. We shared having children at the same time, raising them together, boating with the Eric and Virginia Simmons, traveling together, sharing holiday dinners, etc. Later, Myrna and I became co-workers at Kemper Group and carpooled to work together. We loved stopping at the lobster truck on Route 57 on Fridays after work and cooking together with the kids. In 1980, after being transferred back from St. Louis to Syracuse, Myrna and Larry opened their home to us until our home was ready. We were later transferred to Ft. Collins but when we returned to NJ, we would drive up to Syracuse from NJ on weekends and once again they would open their home to us and our boating trio was together once again.
We were so saddened at Larry's passing and Myrna's decision to move to Seattle. Needless to say, we stayed in touch with Myrna the way real and true friends will. In August of 2019, Myrna and her sister Donna traveled all the way to Martha's Vineyard to help us celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. Myrna told me "there is no way I will miss celebrating with you and Bubba".
We are so saddened by Myrna's passing. We have so many memories and pictures to cherish of both Myrna and Larry and the kids. We will celebrate their lives and our friendship until ....
To Bobby, Nathan, and Dana, we love you and extend our condolences in the loss of your mother. She is and will forever be a special person to us all.

I'm so very sad. I loved Myrna. She was so giving . When I lost my home to fire 30 years ago her and Larry opened their home to us. I will miss you friend. You were the best!

Oh my! Where do I begin? Myrna was such a special person. We had great dinner parties together with her and Larry. And Larry will always be remembered in my heart as well. We bowled and played golf together. I enjoyed her company. She was easy to talk to and a great listener. I felt she never judged you or made you feel uncomfortable about yourself actually did the opposite and made you feel good about yourself. She was always the person in a group I would go and sit with and visit. So sorry to all of her family for their loss. With deepest sympathy my thoughts and prayers.

Our deepest sympathy to you all. We will never forget all the wonderful times we shared with your parents during our time in Baldwinsville. Dinner clubs, all our Ab outings. She made the best French onion soup. We had so many laughs. We will hold on to these memories. Keeping you all in our thoughts and Prayers!
Much Love,
Dave and Laurie Contrera
