Purple Popsicle Sunday

The "Purple Popsicle Prayer" Sunday was incredibly wonderful for all who attended......very spirit filled, It was especially wonderful to have Rick, Angie, Maddie, Jacob, Angie's parents, brother and sister there among everyone. The 4th & 5th graders baked and served 300 cinnamon rolls and handed out 175 popsicles. A free will offering basket was available and people were very generous! More fundraisers are planned for April and May and will include out of town family and friends as well!

Angie starts chemo again tomorrow and will receive treatments Wed, Thurs and Friday before having a few weeks off again. Will report later this week to let everyone know how it is going.

Thanks to Marlene for the update from the Sunday event and all who volunteered to help put it together and coordinate it!

Tanya said...: Hey guys! I wish we could be there to help out and attend events like this to show our support. We are just too far away. But you are in our thoughts and prayers daily. I check in here every day hoping for news and I'm so glad we are getting some good news! Let us know if there is ever anything we can do from afar and we'll do our best to get it done. I wish Rick luck with his student teaching... that's a job in itself! Angie, you stay strong and we'll keep praying.

What Cancer Cannot Do
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot steal ethernal life
IT CANNOT

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
