Mrs. Klaud worked as an assistant teacher back in the early 1990's and was in my class all three years of elementary school. I always loved the crafts we would make and the fun she would make the class for us. She will be greatly missed and my thoughts and prayers are with her family. We truly have lost a wonderful woman and teacher.
