Grace and Mike loved dancing together. Some of her favorite times were spent playing piano and guitar in their family band. She also enjoyed playing the harmonica. Grace’s faith was very important to her, and she was a member of Central Lutheran Church. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family, reminiscing of the many things they all did together.
