I had the privilege and honor of working with Ms. Cromwell at Yankeeridge Elementary School. She was also my son's 4th grade teacher. Along with being an amazing teacher, she was a wonderful and caring person. May her family take pleasure in knowing what an impact she left on so many lives. May God continue to comfort you during your time of bereavement. With our sincerest condolences, Carla & Mykhail Chambers
