Yong Hui's Medical Expenses

Donation protected
Yong Hui Smith, born November 17, 1963, peacefully left us on May 16, 2018. She reunited with her mother, Do Han-Soon; her father, Cho Yong-Tae; her elder brother, Cho Sung-Jae; her father-in-law, Donald Betts, and son-in-law, Anthony Barry Correllus.

She grew up in South Korea, where she lives on through her two older sisters, Cho Bong-Hui and Cho Bong-Sun; two younger brothers, Cho In-Jae and Cho Won-Jae; and many nieces and nephews. She moved to the United States after marrying the love of her life, Bryan Edward Smith. They were married for over thirty years. She raised three daughters, Nancy (Brad) Gallien, Julie Smith, and Amy Smith, who hope to embody her strength and beauty. Her greatest joy was her beloved grandchildren, Kolton Barry Correllus and Bryson Kelly Gallien.  

Yong Hui turned every place she went into a home. Anyone who knew her knows that family was the center of her life. She chose to be a mother, not just to her children, but to everyone she could. She put the happiness and well-being of so many people in front of her own, taught others the hard lessons in life that many tend to avoid, always tried to do the right thing, and loved unconditionally. Yong Hui touched the lives of countless people, making a family so large that it cannot be put into words.

In her final days, she was diagnosed with Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma, a cancer as rare as the woman who courageously fought against it. She bravely endured radiation treatments and the strongest chemotherapy known to man. She was grateful to all the loved ones who lent her strength in her fight. Cancer took her body but, it never took her spirit. It never took her heart. It never took her soul. 

We are asking for donations at this time to help with the high medical expenses associated with the cost of the aggressive treatment Yong Hui used during her fight. Unfortunately, her medical insurance did not fully cover her treatment. All donations will go towards these bills on behalf of her husband, Bryan E Smith. Thank you for your kindness in this time of need.
