Paula Marie Godfrey Cromer

My prayers go out to the entire family .I know that they will miss her a great deal.She will always be in your hearts and memories.The music she now makes will be always heard in a birds chirp,the rustle of the wind through the leaves or in the small childs laugh. Always remember, Never forget.
Thoughts,Matthew J. Swindler

It was certainly a shock to hear of the loss of Paula. Although I hadn't seen Paula since our Meredith days, I remember her ready smile & laugh. I also fondly remember the time she took a group of the Meredith girls to visit in her home in Charlotte. My prayers will be with Paula's family. She was very special.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Paula's family. I haven't seen Paula in many years but I have many happy memories of her when I was at Meredith. She was a happy, optimistic person who often was our mother hen. Her faith and love of family and friends was always evident in everything she did. She will be missed.

After only seeing Paula briefly at our 20 year class reunion at Meredith in May I called her while I was vacationing in Williamsburg this summer. Even though I know she was very busy she made time to come pick my family up to get ice cream that Friday afternoon in June. I had the privilege of meeting Clark and Katie that day(Ashley was at camp). This event truly speaks for Paula. Even though I hadn't seen her in 20 years we just picked up where we left off and talked for a while. She was...

I WANT TO SAY TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
WITH HEARTFELT SYMPATHY THAT I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.I MET MRS.CROMER
WHEN I STARTED DRIVING HER DAUGHTER
KATIE ON THE SCHOOL BUS
LAST YEAR.MRS CROMER WAS A SWEET PERSON AND I ADMIRED THE WAY SHE WOULD SIT ON THAT STOOP AND WHEN I COME AROUND THAT CORNER WITH THE BUS SHE WOULD BE SITTING RIGHT THERE GOING THREW HER MAIL WHILE SHE WAS WAITING FOR KATIE SO SHE WILL BE MISSED.I CAN STILL PICTURE HER SITTING THERE EVEN IF I FOUND OUT...

I met Paula through the friendship of her son, Clark and my son, Sean. I felt immediately comfortable with Paula because she was such a funny, kind, cheerful, and welcoming woman. She made me feel that we had long been friends, even upon first meeting. I am so, so saddened by her death and by the fact that I only learned of it after her funeral, missing a chance to say goodbye to her and to pay my respects to her family. To the whole Cromer family and particularly to my son's friend,...

Since receiving the news of Paula's death, many of us have been holding her family close in our thoughts and prayers. We consider ourselves extremely blessed to be Paula's Meredith Sisters and Sisters-in-Christ.
Psalm 55:22

I am a Meredith College classmate of Paula's and the world seems less hospitable since Paula's death. Bad things do happen to good people because Paula was good...and caring...and funny. I will miss her.

I am a Meredith College classmate of Paula's, and remember her well as an amazing, loving woman. My prayers are with her dear children.
