    Many have heard the heartbreaking news of the small plane crash north of Kearney on Wednesday night. Among the lives lost was Dr. Mark Meyer, a beloved orthopedic surgeon who served Gothenburg Memorial Hospital for many years.
    Dr. Meyer was a cornerstone of our medical community during a time when visiting specialists were few and far between, according to Deb Hecox, RN. His dedication ensured that our patients received expert care close to home. Though he last practiced here over a decade ago, his impact continues to be felt by the many patients whose lives he touched, she said.
    Deb shared that those who knew Dr. Meyer will remember his big, friendly personality—a warmth that made him not only a skilled physician but also a comforting presence to those in need.
    Gothenburg Health honors Dr. Meyer’s life, his service, and the lasting mark he left on Gothenburg. Our thoughts are with his loved ones and all affected by this tragic loss.

    In Loving Memory of Commissioner Sheila Stanton

    In Loving Memory of Commissioner Sheila Stanton

    We are devastated and deeply saddened by the sudden and tragic loss of our beloved Commissioner, Sheila Stanton.

    On Sunday, August 31, Commissioner Stanton was struck by a vehicle while exiting a local business. Despite the swift efforts of paramedics, she did not survive her catastrophic injuries.

    Commissioner Stanton was a dedicated resident of Kirkland for nearly 40 years and a tireless advocate for her community. She was widely known for her compassion and leadership—organizing the area’s Juneteenth celebrations and personally coordinating and serving meals to the unhoused with unwavering commitment.

    As the first CAAA Commissioner to represent Kirkland, Sheila brought her fierce advocacy and principled voice to the table. She never hesitated to ask hard questions, often challenging routine answers and demanding substance over form. Reappointed to a second term this past January, she continued to serve with distinction and passion.

    Sheila Stanton’s legacy is one of service, integrity, and love for her community. Her absence leaves a void that will be deeply felt—not only within the Commission but across all the lives she touched.

    She will be missed greatly.

  • That’s a heartfelt and compassionate message, Ray. In times like this, even a few kind words can mean everything to someone who’s grieving. If you’re looking to share that message publicly—like in a tribute post, school memorial, or support group—it’s already powerful as-is.
