Today, the whistle sounds a little softer.

A close and dearly loved member of our Whistlestop family, Leti, will be taking a hiatus as she and her family navigate the heartbreaking and unexpected loss of her husband.

During this incredibly difficult time, we ask for your patience, grace, prayers, and support as Leti takes the time she needs to grieve and be with her family.

The Whistlestop has always believed that serving people means more than what we put on a plate. It means showing up for one another when life gets heavy. It means taking care of our own.

In that spirit, anyone who would like to join us in helping Leti and her family deal with financial burden that accompany a sudden loss, please use the link created to support Leti.

For now, we silence the whistle and come to a rolling stop to honor a life lost, a family grieving, and one of our own who needs her community beside her…more than ever.

Leti, your Whistlestop family is with you.

May God bring comfort, strength, and peace to Leti and her family in the days ahead.

The Whistlestop Family.

Use Venmo to connect with The Whistlestop () - This is for Leti to get through this hard time dealing with the sudden loss of her husband. Anything and everything goes to her.

HAVE YOU HEARD? It’s SUNDAY… and that comfort whistle is BLOWIN’.

Mimosas are pourin’.
Brunch is brunchin’.
Vibes are vibin’.
Comfort food is callin’ your name.

Sundays weren’t made for cooking.
They were made for big plates, cold mimosas, good people, and questionable decisions involving “just one more.”

So… you coming to The Whistlestop or not?

All Aboard. All Roads.
