Friday update

Angie is still at the Greeley hospital today. She was experiencing more abdominal pain and so another scan was ordered. The scan unfortunately showed that the cancer is active in her abdominal area and she has some internal bleeding they believe caused by some lesions on her liver. They are considering surgery options right now. It might be difficult to visit Angie right now at the hospital as there is a lot going on so please send your support via prayers and good wishes.

Even if you need me to drive somewhere. My mom has said that she would watch Ethan if she needs to. I know things are day to day so I'm just letting you know that I'm available. Ethan and I pray for you guys every day. Keep it up. You're doing good. Just take it one moment at a time and keep putting one foot in front of the other. We're with you...God's with you. I'll talk to you soon. -Cory; June 20, 2008 at 2:53 PM

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
