On July 18, 2026, our family suffered an unimaginable loss when our beloved mother, Samantha Xiongnhiathao, and our beloved sister and daughter, Gisselle Diaz, were taken from us in a tragic car accident.
We are raising funds to help cover the costs of their funeral and memorial services, along with the many unexpected expenses our family is facing during this devastating time. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial burden and allow us to focus on honoring their lives with the love and dignity they deserve.
Samantha was a woman of deep faith whose life was rooted in love, compassion, and service to others. She touched countless lives through her kindness and generosity and was the heart of our family.
Gisselle was an extraordinary young woman with a bright future ahead of her. She was exceptionally intelligent, and graduated as valedictorian with a 4.2 GPA. Beyond her accomplishments, she will be remembered for her unwavering faith, kind heart, and the light and warmth she brought into every room. She was beautiful inside and out, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing her loved her.
If you would like to support our family in another way, or are unable to donate through GoFundMe, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly. Funeral and memorial service information will be shared here as soon as arrangements have been finalized.
If you are unable to give financially, we kindly ask that you please keep our family in your prayers and share this fundraiser with others.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, prayers, generosity, and support during the most difficult time of our lives. We will continue to honor our mom and sisters memory by carrying forward the love, kindness, and faith they shared with everyone around them.
With love and gratitude,
