Sending condolences to the family of Carol Knier. I worked with Carol at the Sheboygan Press when I was a high school and college student. She was always so friendly and helpful to customers. Carol had such a great sense of humor and was usually smiling! She was a wonderful woman.

To the Friends and Family of Carol, It is a joy working at Countryside Manor knowing that we provide a necessary service for those in need. However, reading Carol's obituary as touched my heart personally.. I read she was instrumental in establishing the Sheboygan County Humane Society, and had I knew this before today I would've shook her hand and thanked her for her kindness and empathy. I adopted one of my pets from a humane society and the workers and founders do not get nearly enough credit for the work they put in. Thank you, Carol! Additionally, knowing she worked at the Sheboygan Press is an added charm for me since I am a strong supporter of journalism. She clearly lived a fascinating, fulfilling, and happy life. May she rest in peace.

Terry & Judi, thinking of you. Your mom is certainly over the rainbow bridge with the many dogs she helped through the years. I think of her fondly when I am volunteering at the shelter with the dogs and remember some of the stories that you told me about the early years. God bless her.

Sympathies from Karen and I. She will be in a better place now. Never got to know your mom but she certainly would have been proud of you, Terry and your family. You all are in our prayers and thoughts.
