Angela's Journey: Agressive treatment plan in place

Agressive treatment plan in place

Angie and Rick met with the doctors today and a new plan was put into place. She will receive strong chemo for the next three days (starting today) and radiation for 5 treatments for her brain. The Chemo is meant to address the cancer in her abdominal area. The radiation treatment started today as well. The hope is that the chemo will stop the cancer in her abdomen and the radiation they believe will address the brain cancer - her media stynum reacted really well to the radiation so they believe that the radiation will work great on her brain cancer. The doctors hope to get her home by Monday and then another scan will happen in about two weeks to assess how the treatment plan is going. Positive thoughts!

Just wanted to say hi and let you know that Mil, Samara, and I are praying hard for you. I know the pain that you are feeling right now is very real. I can't even imagine, but I also know how strong you all are and that you will see this through with flying colors. I think of you all everyday and pray everyday as well. If you need anything, groceries, us to pick up the kids (we are close to Greeley) or us to clean the house, let us know. We are available 24-7 for you. Kathy, Jim, and Kelsey, that goes for you too. Anytime. Hope to see you soon, we know that this treatment will work. Keep the faith, he will come through!

Angela's life

Angela Fooshee March 15, 1972 – June 23, 2008

Age: 36

Residence: Greeley, Colorado

Tribute: Angela Kelley Fooshee was born in Robbinsdale, Minnesota to James Patrick and Kathleen Sue (Lamoureux) Wurth. Her natural passion for life shown through the twinkle in her eyes. She was driven by her love of family and nature. Camping, playing games and telling stories around the campfire, hiking, watching the sunset (sunrise was much too early), and stopping to smell the flowers were just a few of her favorite things. She was a quiet thrill-seeker. There was never a roller coaster too high. She loved poetry, music, and enjoyed dancing with all her heart. Her traditional values inspired her to create countless family memories and crab wedges for everyone. When it came to holidays, she made sure that we had all the festive food, decorations, activities and games to ensure a lifetime of memories.

Compassion for others came naturally to her. She always looked for the beauty in life, in people, and in nature. Her kind, gentle manner and her playful nature made her the best mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend anyone could ever wish for. She was a natural caretaker, always looking out for the needs of others before her own. She cherished her family and friends. Angie truly made our world a better place.

Mrs. Fooshee touched many hearts during her nine years as an elementary teacher. She enjoyed making a difference in the lives of her students and in the world around her. But she was more than a teacher of children; she taught ALL of us how to be thankful and grateful, and to trust in God completely. Her journey through life inspired all of us.

Mrs. Fooshee died on Monday, June 23, 2008 at North Colorado Medical Center Hospice and Palliative Care of Greeley. Survivors: Her husband, Richard L. Fooshee; daughter, Madelynn Fooshee; son, Jacob Fooshee, all of Greeley; her parents, Jim and Kathy Wurth of Berthoud, Colorado; two siblings, Brian Wurth and wife Helene of Fort Collins, Colorado, Kelsey Wurth of Berthoud; grandparents, Royal and Betty Lamoureux of Loveland, Colorado.

Services: 10:00 a.m. Monday, June 30, 2008 at Our Savior’s Church in Greeley.

Internment: Estes Valley Memorial Gardens, Estes Park, Colorado
