Update on Stagman's Wife

Post by #goldpan »

Fellas this is hard to write. So at Will's request I am going to copy his email to me from last night. Its hard to type this.... We have been trading emails for months about a knife project. I don't have words for Will's loss, So I'll let Will tell you in his own words....

"Tell the AAPK crew she died at 6 20 AM MST on 1-7-18 with me laying next to her in a recliner and holding her hand....we did that always while walking around when we went some where, store, parking lot, etc.... We will also discuss that W-49 project we want to do together in future with the Elk rack I have....matching 49's bud !!!.......and also the spirit knife you have made for me and gonna ship tomorrow Randy....
I just cannot speak of her without loosing it yet...took me 1/2 hr or more to write this....47 yrs married tommorow...3 yrs going steady...engaged from 15 yrs old in 10th grade high school...never once,, either of us
thought of breaking up at all...buddies we were..I could talk, cuss, spit, anything and act like I do with my ONLY Trusted 100% 2 good 30-40 yr long friendships I have with 2 long standing buddies...Darold and Ham
Would you do me a favor and ""copy and paste this email in the Upper Room on AAPK""...they been praying for her (PAM)....you will see the posts...and I appreciate it so much they need to know...I owe it to them all.....damm fine bunch,, this AAPK crew....special thanks to Dale and Garry....
maybe make a new post so they all understand what happened....to painfull to write again as I am gonna short out keyboard with water
this Spirit Knife you have made for me and gonna send tommorow COULD NOT HAVE COME at a better time in my whole life
Thanks Randy...I will let ya know when it gets here....Bless Ya Bud
Will"
I'll post more on Will's Spirit knife in the appropriate forum....

It's tough enough for those who just tolerate their mate. I can't imagine what it's like for those who LOVE their mate down in the deepest regions of their soul. How does one cope with something like that. I don't know you Will but a sadness takes over my soul for your loss. Take your time. Grieve, then carry on with her memory always there for the tough times.

Very difficult to read, Will, but you two were very fortunate to have each other. God bless you and your family.

So sorry to read this.My wife and I also have been married for 48 years and she is recovering from open heart surgery so losing her has been a real threat for me these past few months. I have been in prayer for you and Pam all through this and will continue to hold you up in prayer. God is sovereign and His ways are above ours and trying to figure out all the whys in this life are impossible. What you and Pam had and still have, is way beyond what nearly all others on this earth dream of having, and that in itself makes it so sad when it changes from earthly to eternal. I pray that our concern can somehow help you through this.____Dave

Will, I've been following this issue and am thankful there are men on the AAPK forum that do honestly care. I could copy djknife13's post to you, just change the years to 51 and my wife's open heart to 5 years ago and we are in the same boat. We must recognize, as Dave so perfectly stated, "God is sovereign and His ways are above ours...". God bless you for sharing from the depths of your heart, your feelings for your dear wife.
Praying God's comfort for you at this sad time.

Dear Will,

Like others here at AAPK I shed more than a few tears when I learned of Pam's passing. You and Pam were blessed with so many years together, years of profound love. Though painful your separation, I firmly believe, is a temporary thing. Now is a time for grieving because she has gone on ahead of you for a while. But there will be a future day when you reunite and your joy and Pam's joy will be boundless and forever. May the Lord of us all strengthen and bless you my friend.

Sorry for the big hole in your life that once was so wonderfully filled. As the old song says, take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

So sad to read this. Will, I have no words that can comfort you right now. Just know that we here at AAPK are thinking about you, and praying for you. Pam is not suffering anymore, and you got to be with her when it was her time. That's small consolation, but it is something not everyone is able to do. I am sure the grief is too new right now, but at some point, you will be able to look back and smile fondly of all the years you had together. Until you meet once again.

My condolences on your loss.
