Ms. Alice Faye Harmon taught my nephews, my niece, and my daughter. She was so much more to my family than an excellent teacher. She was a beloved family friend. Her positive influence went well beyond the classroom. She continued to be involved in our lives and the lives of her now-adult students until her passing. She will never be forgotten.

It has been the ultimate blessing to have known you in this life and I look forward to seeing you in eternity. I never had you as a teacher, but your friendship with my mother as young teachers at the beginning of your teaching careers that lasted through your lifetimes and included me and my brother was soooo special. Thank you for making us feel like your children and being there when our own mother passed. I am so glad that we were able to share our love for Christ and therefore know that we would meet again in heaven!!! You are so loved and so missed!!!!

39 yrs. ago, I walked into the doors of Stafford Elementary School. Ms. Webb was my kindergarten teacher, but there was a beautiful lady down the hallway to the left that made an indelible impression on my life. Alice Faye Harmon was one of the best educators and mentors that I have had the privilege of knowing. Ms. Harmon made you feel like you belonged to her. She fussed, she corrected, she hugged, and she loved each of us. Over the last few years, I would see her each Sunday afternoon in the Cupboard on Union Ave. after church. She would always say " Hey, pretty girl! You look the same way you did when you were five years old." I would hug her and tell her how pretty she looked that day. Heaven has truly gained an angel. Rest well Ms. Harmon, we will see you in that beautiful morning.

My deepest condolences to the family of Alice Faye Harmon. The best kindergarten teacher to ever walk this earth. I will never forget how she inspired me thoughout these years. She is the reason I'm the educator I am today. I'll forever hold the memories we shared. From my success in kindergarten, to the boat ride in first grade, and the moment she made sure that my wedding day was everything I dreamed it would be. The love she displayed will forever be in my heart.

You were more than a teacher you were the safe place that 1st day in KK01 and remained that well after that year, you were someone who I loved and respected every day since and know that placing me in your care class and heart were an act of Devine favor. Until we meet again you will live in my heart.
