Hi my name is Derek Gallup. My wife of 30 years and the mother of my children, Carla Gallup, battled with mental illness and unfortunately lost her battle in 2022. Carla would light up a room when she walked in. In 2020, Carla suffered from major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders and lost her sparkle.
