Hi everyone,

I'm Lynn and I've known Claudio Falcon for nearly three decades. He is a dear friend of mine and a person that I know I can always depend on. When I heard the sudden news that his older sister, Iris Goetz, was given a difficult diagnosis, our closest friends did not hesitate to rally around him and, by extension, his entire family, with their full support. Unfortunately, as life would have it, on October 30, 2025, the Falcon-Goetz family lost their beloved daughter, sister, and mother in Iris' valiant fight to defeat her terrible illness. Our hearts ache and weep for their loss and especially so for her young daughter, Gianella, who is just 13 years of age. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, we honor the great life that Iris lived by continuing on her legacy within Gianella. We are extremely grateful for any donations that one would like to offer in support of a future college fund for Gianella. Being a mother myself, great comfort would be drawn from knowing that my children were taken care of. As such, we hope to provide some comfort, and peace, to Iris in knowing that we will all help in some way to take care of Gianella. I am sure Iris was extremely proud of the strong young woman she raised and we are all in awe of the maturity and grit she has demonstrated throughout this harrowing experience.
