Dana Lynn Harrison

Dear Karen and David; I have lived in the UAE for 12 years and recently was walking at nearby Asharej Park in the early morning when I thought of your family. When I got home I did a Google search of Mr Harrison and saw that he had passed. Then I scrolled down and saw that Dana passed just weeks later. I am so very sorry to read this. David was one of my best friend's in high school in senior year, and I spent quite a bit of time at the Harrison home in Guelph. Dana was a very intelligent gal, who was athletic, and many a snack did she feed me when I was over. I also posted this on Facebook "Centennial CVI Class of 83ish" group to let others that went to school with Dana and David know. Again my sincere condolences...and David when I am back in Toronto for a visit, I will look you up! May you both be surrounded by love, prayer, and support.

My heartfelt condolences to Dana's family and friends. She was truly blessed with a beautiful heart. A Memorial Donation has been made to the following charity: Covenant House

So sorry to hear of your loss Karen. I remember Dana as a child and how special she was. Lillian

Dear Mrs. Harrison and family I am still so heart- broken that Dana was so ill and did not enjoy her retirement years the way she deserved to. She worked in our regulatory team for ten years and we will miss her at Sanofi. I’m so grateful that her colleagues and friends have written here so you can know she was well loved by them. I always enjoyed her funny tshirts and puns during our many meetings. She always acted to make things better and made the world a better place. I can hear her still telling me to pick up some garbage when we walk. I hope to meet you in person for her celebration of life to express my condolences personally. I’m so sorry for your loss and hope Dana is finally free and in peace. With my deepest sympathy, Krissy Carrington

My sincerest condolences It’s been a very long time since I seen Dana. When she and David were little and visit their Nana and papa we would always play. I was shocked when I learned of her passing David if you read this please not hesitate to reach out. I’m in Burlington

My sincere condolences to Dana's family and friends. Dana was always so kind to me. I enjoyed talking to her about cooking. My most memorable memory is taking a South Asian cooking class with Dana and Venessa and my sister also joined us as well. Rest in peace my friend.

My deepest condolences to Dana's family and friends. So sorry for your loss. I didn't directly work with Dana but we always greeted each other with a smile. I remember I saw Dana on her last day at Sanofi before her retirement, I congratulated her and gave her a hug to wish her well in her new journey, so sad to hear that journey ended too soon.

I didn't work much with Dana, we were part of the same Labeling team but separated by the Atlantic with few interaction. But the little I knew her, I feel she was a discreet and sensitive person... I share the sadness of his family and friends. Where she is now, she is in peace.

I worked with Dana on a vaccine project for the US market. During those years she was a good friend and a wonderful colleague. She was always ready to help when it was needed. She made important contributions to make possible the approval of a lifesaving vaccine to the US market. But more importantly, she made the job fun. I will not forget her warmth, humor and work ethic. She will be missed.

Dear family and friends of Dana, I was very sorry to hear the news about Dana. She was a good friend and colleague. She would occasionally drive me to work in her old Dodge truck and make me nervous as she checked and responded to emails and texts as she drove. We often spoke about good restaurants and my child (now an adult) who, assigned female at birth, now sees themselves as non-binary. They helped me understand my child better and gave me great advice. We often ended up at our US location and eating dinner together (with Vanessa). Vanessa and Dana seemed inseparable at work so it was never a surprise to see them together. The world is not as bright with Dana passing. Love, Dave McEachran

Dana has been my neighbour for 15 years, and a friend for most of that time. I got to know her a lot better the last couple summers, as I sat on my patio, starting to enjoy semi-retirement, and she, exiting or entering her condo via the stairs adjacent to my unit, contemplated her own, much too short, retirement, as it turned out, when she stopped to chat. Our conversations were always friendly and vigorous, whether we were bitching about the condo, or simply talking about what was going on in our lives. Whatever we spoke about, I always felt better afterwards. She was certainly a kind and generous soul, helping me with shopping or empties or offering me a slice of veggie lasagna. She certainly made my life better in Thornhill, and her passing has left a hole in my life where there oughtn't be a hole. Rest in peace, Dana: you won't be forgotten. My condolences of course to those who knew her much better than I did, especially Robyn and Vanessa. I've made a donation to Covenant House in her memory.

I had the great good fortune of having Dana as a colleague, mentor, manager and always staunch friend and supporter, since we first met so long ago in Building 18. She was such a warm, caring, loyal person with a great sense of humour, and the world is a little bit darker without her. Heartfelt condolences to Robyn, Vanessa, and all her friends and family.

Mrs Harrison, I am so very sorry for your loss. Dana was a very special person. She would most times make me smile and the rest of the time made me laugh when we chatted. How could we forget those Crocs? Yes, even in February. Dana was so helpful as a coworker. She will be sadly missed but never forgotten.

Dana had such a kind heart and I will miss her. I have so many fun memories. We had some wonderful adventures geocaching literally across North America in Seattle and on our 7,000 km 8-day Canada-US tour and then of course heading off to Alaska. She had a wonderful sense of humour and was a great friend both inside and outside Sanofi. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

My sincere condolences to Dana's family and friends. I was truly shocked by this news. Dana was always a great supporter of our United Way campaign at Sanofi, especially her participation in the Day of Caring event where we would volunteer our time at a local agency. Dana also loved wearing our Sanofi campaign t-shirts! Dana was very supportive of product portfolio projects ensuring a successful completion by following up with affiliates or whatever was required. May you rest in peace Dana! You will be truly missed.

My deepest condolences to Dana's family and friends for the loss of such a wonderful person. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to work with Dana but sad that we never had the chance to meet in person. Dana's vast knowledge of vaccines, upbeat attitude and her awesome sense of humor made her such a pleasure to work with. She will be very much missed.

My heartfelt condolences to Dana's family and friends. Dana was a wonderful person, so friendly and always willing to help. It was a pleasure working and interacting with her. May her soul rest in eternal peace and harmony.

I have known Dana for many years. I will always remember our daily walks to the “caf” to get coffee and our travel adventures which included many geocaching trips; Dana was a very kind person always willing to go the extra mile to help her friends. Dana will be deeply missed. My sincere condolences to Dana’s family and friends.

I was so sorry to hear of Dana’s sudden passing. My condolences to Robyn, Vanessa and her family. I have many fond memories of Dana, including early morning chit chats, laughs, walks, geocaching adventures (climbing/falling out of trees), …. Dana was a character, whose spirit will be missed.

I first met Dana when she joined RA at Sanofi. We became fast friends and shared many a laugh and many a tear. She always wore casual slides around the office and this endeared her to me greatly. So knowledgeable in her field and always willing to help wherever needed. Many days she would bring me her delicious banana bread. She spoke often of her much loved partner Robyn and her little kitties. She is free now and at peace. Condolences to all of Dana’s family and friends. Farewell to you my friend I will miss you.

My sincere condolences to Dana's family and friends. I have fond memories of our time at Sanofi, so much fun and so much accomplished. May you rest in peace Dana!

My sincere condolences to Dana's family, Robyn and Vanessa. So many memories of working with Dana in the clinical department, she would do anything to help you, and will definitely be missed.

So sorry to hear about this tremendous loss! Dana was an integral part of creating a pleasurable working environment in B95 at Sanofi for the past few years! Her easy-going disposition and sense of humor brought us joy every day! I will miss trading recipes - she was amazing at reverse engineering dishes (Farm Boy's spicy edamame and kale dip)! Her love of food was infectious and we bonded over our love of all cheeses with lunchtime cheese parties! Dana is and will continue to be sorely missed!

So sorry to hear of Dana's passing. At our glass studio, Dana was always a welcoming soul, with a bubbly personality, greeting all those around her. My deepest condolences go out to her family and friends as they navigate through this difficult time. Ona

My deepest condolences to Dana's family, Robyn and Vanessa for this great loss. I have very fond memories of working very closely with Dana during my 8 years at Sanofi. Her bubbly personality, charm and wit was appreciated by all. Dana you will be missed. May your soul rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to Robyn and Dana's family. I first met Dana at our Connaught baseball league, and always had fun with her around. Then luckily, we met again while we both worked in RA. She had such a great sense of humor, and so friendly and warm to chat with. You would always find her in the office in bare feet and sandals! Too sad that she left us so soon.

I didn't have the honor to know Dana for very long but on the occasions where I did, she was instantly warm and welcoming with her gentle soul. May she journey to the spirit world in the warm and welcoming way that was her.

I am so glad I got to meet and be friends with Dana over the last few years. We bonded over foodie-ism, life views, and humour - and I am a lucky recipient of her coveted hot sauce! She was such a friendly, open, funny and interesting person - I'm so so sorry to hear she is gone so soon. I will remember her fondly and often, and send my condolences to all family and friends who suffer this loss.
