WEYBURN - Once again, Weyburn has shown that it is a community of loving, caring and supportive people.

During the last couple of weeks, the outpouring of condolences extended to our office staff and to the Nikkel family, has been nothing short of amazing.

The word “community” has a much deeper meaning than just a group of people who reside in the same geographical area.

“Community” implies a sense of belonging, mutual support, and that individuals within that group are connected in a meaningful way. It is a group of people who support, inspire and uplift each other.

Weyburn is just that. We are a large group of individuals who work together for the greater good of the whole city. It is our friends, family, schools, neighbourhoods, and business community.

The number of notes of appreciation for Greg and his many years of serving as reporter, photographer and editor has been astounding.

Grieving the loss of a coworker is much different than that of a family member, but being a small tight-knit office, we grieve along side Greg’s family.

I would like to encourage you to continue those notes of appreciation, both to us and to Greg’s family. Even when words do not come easily, it helps lessen the weight of grief to know that others share our sorrow.

As we move forward, please reach out to one of us at the Weyburn Review/Weyburn This Week whenever you have a story of interest, a photo or something happening in our community. It is important that we continue to provide the best possible coverage to our readers and advertisers.
