We are creating this go fund me for our sweet mom Kathy Smith, who has recently been diagnosed with stage three cancer of the esophagus.  She will have 6 weeks of chemotherapy & radiation at the Cancer Center of America in Phoenix, AZ.  When her six weeks of treatment is over, she will come home for 6-10 weeks to recover. After her body has regained its strength Rick & Kathy will be flying back to Arizona for the lengthy surgery to remove the tumor. She will have to stay in Arizona for weeks following to be monitored in her recovery. We are hoping to be able to raise money to eliminate the stress of finances during this difficult time. Thank you to everyone who has prayed, sent us positive thoughts and donated. Our family is truly grateful and so blessed by all of you.
