I worked with Grace many years ago at Ault Inc. in Isanti. Her name was perfect because she was very gracious. She always had a smile and a positive attitude. Grace was very kind to me. She was very patient with me when I was learning and she made my time at Ault much more tolerable. My prayers are with Nancy and with Grace’s entire family. I’m sure God has a special place in Heaven for Grace.
