Stacy Wakefield, wife of the late Red Sox legend pitcher Tim Wakefield, died Wednesday of pancreatic cancer. Her death was sudden and unexpected.
Tim Wakefield – who played 19 MLB seasons, including 17 for Boston from 1995 to 2011, and helped the Red Sox win two World Series titles — died Oct. 1 after a battle with brain cancer. He had a seizure following surgery to address his cancer.
They married in 2002, and they left behind two children, Trevor and Brianna.
The Red Sox announced the death:
“It is with deep sadness that we share that our beloved mother, daughter, sister, niece, and aunt, Stacy, passed away today at her home in Massachusetts,” the family said in a statement.
“She was surrounded by her family and dear friends, as well as her wonderful caretakers and nurses. The loss is unimaginable, especially in the wake of losing Tim just under five months ago. Our hearts are beyond broken.”

Let us be praying for the grieving family of Tom and Stacy.
When we read something like this it seems natural to ask – why dopes tragedy seem t stalk some families.
Please remember that each human is an individual and God treats us as such. He promises that all things will work together for the good of His people. My sister Kathryn died of a rare cancer at the age of 4. That in a family where most adults live to 90+. My wife Kathryn died at the age of 70 from a rare Cancer. Her mother is in her mid-90’s and he father died in his mid 90’s. I don’t feel like I am stalked by tragedy, for I know God calls His people home when it is best for them.
Paul wrote: 13 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you do not grieve in the same way as the others, who have no hope. 14 Indeed, if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, then in the same way we also believe that God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus.
May the love of God that passes all understanding, be of great comfort in times of grief.
My condolences to you on the loss of your wife.
