Hi friends and family, sorry it has been so long since our last update. Soon, you should be able to view some pictures and the entire service from Angie's funeral on the blog. We have been working with Jim Strong at Our Savior's, who has graciously helped us out with this (my tech skills need some work). If you were unable to attend the service, you should be able to view this in the next few days. I am planning on leaving the blog just as it is, I think this is the way Angie would like things to be. I also have copies of Angie's journey, a picture and musical presentation, which was made for the service. Some of those who attended may have seen this playing during the reception at church. If you would like a copy, I would be more than happy to mail you one, just contact me at afooshee@hotmail.com
In other news, we have been making plans for the kids this fall at school, and I have been preparing for my new job at Frontier Academy Middle School in Greeley. Every day is a struggle between moving on (what your head tells you to do) and reminiscing and missing Angie so much (what your heart tells you to do). The family has made several trips back up to Estes to visit the cemetery already, and each visit brings new thoughts and insights for me. The kids are doing fine, and we have a new addition to the family, Lily: a 12 week old Papillon puppy. I will try to post pictures when I get some.
A thank you to all who attended and honored Angie at the service. Thanks for all of your support, prayers and gifts throughout our journey together. A scholarship fund was set up and over $10,000 has been raised for the kids college fund.
I'll be talking to you soon, Love Rick and kids

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

Rick, I've been thinking of you and the kids every day since the funeral. Please let us know if you need anything, or call anytime if you need to talk, vent, or whatever. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Give Jim and Kathy a hug for me.
Love,
Sarah
Me too Rick! Thanks for the update. We also think of Angie, and you and the kids every day. I know and can feel that Angie is in a better place, and is at peace. I'll check back in a few days for the pictures.
Give the kids and everyone a hug, and know that you are always welcome to call or e-mail if you want to reminsce on some fun "Angie Times".
Rick, I have been checking back here and am glad you have provided an update to those of us who are far away. You've been in our hearts as always. Let us know if you need anything at all. Good luck in starting the new job.
Love, Tanya and Doug
