Angela's Journey: Radiation starts...

Radiation starts...

After the positive news from the last scan that the cancer has been held off so successfully, the doctors are focussed on the last 'active' areas including Angie's lung. This tumor is the largest she has currently - there has been some pain and discomfort from the radiation which started last Wednesday but so far so good. The radiation will finish up on May 6th. Then Angie will have a break for a couple of weeks before the next rounds of chemo begin - likely late May. Only her lung tumor and a small tumor in her liver are still considered 'active cancer' at this point.

ALSO the bowl a thon is filling up fast - less than two weeks away now! Be sure to get in your team or pledges asap! It promises to be great fun and wildly successful!

We will post photos here after the bowl a thon for all to enjoy.

Matthew 21:22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

Keep the faith and know that God is in control and has plan.

Try to laugh and smile it helps healing to!

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
