❤️ A Heartfelt Thank You From JP’s Saloon ❤️
For those who may not know, this past week our family has been facing a medical emergency involving my daughter, Sicily.
What started as concerning symptoms from a prescribed medication quickly turned into every parent’s nightmare. By the grace of God, Sicily knew something was wrong and pulled over while driving before becoming unresponsive. Since then, there have been multiple hospital visits, days in a step-down ICU, continuous EEG monitoring, rapid response calls, and a lot of prayers, tears, and uncertainty as doctors worked to figure out what was happening.
As a mom, there was no place I needed to be other than by my daughter’s side.
Because of that, I want to publicly thank Kristin, Danhyell, Noel, and my mom for stepping up and holding down the fort at JP’s Saloon while our family focused on Sicily.
You covered shifts, took care of customers, handled the chaos, and never once made me worry about what was happening at the bar. You simply showed up when we needed you most.
When life hits hard, you find out who your people are. This week reminded me that JP’s isn’t just a business—it’s family.
To our customers, thank you for your patience, understanding, messages, prayers, and support. Every text, call, comment, and prayer has meant more than you know.
Sicily still has a road to recovery ahead of her, but she is improving, and for that we are incredibly grateful.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for helping carry us through one of the hardest weeks our family has ever faced.
❤️ Jo-el & the JP’s Saloon Family
