Angie coming home...on the offensive!

Angela is feeling much better - keeping food down (just talked to her and she was having breakfast) and had another transfusion last night which helps a lot with her strength. Pain is under control and the doctors are just working with her to ensure she can take her medecines orally and keep them down and she will be released. Rick hopes to bring her home today (Tuesday) and spend some time this week relaxing and catching up on rest after a crazy and very stressful week. Spirits are up and to quote Rick "we are on the offensive' now!

I just got the blog thing figured out, what a wonderful forum!

My prayer candle is lit and I am sending you continuous prayers.

And finally, I'm sorry for the profanity, but Cancer Sucks.

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
