Mrs. Gallo was born November 24, 1962, to a middle-class family in Bogota, Colombia to Ramiro and Edilma Gallo. She gained her primary education at Colegio Marymount and her computer science degree from Universidad Piloto De Colombia, Bogota, in 1984. She had a successful career in computer science, specializing in engineering. Mrs. Gallo moved to New York and then finally settled in Miami in 2000. She married Lincoln Herzeca, Jr. on June 1, 2000. They raised 1 son, Matthew Herzeca. She was heavily involved with the Emmaus community at The Church of The Little Flower. She also participated yearly with the Redlands Christian Migrant Association Christmas Party. She and Lincoln were avid travelers. She was thrilled to have visited Israel 10 years ago, traveling there with her husband, son, mother and mother-in-law, as well as her aunt and uncle, Lucy and Mauricio Lindo. She was a devout Catholic and worshipper of Mary and most enjoyed visiting the many Marian Apparition sites in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, as well as the House of Mary by Ephesus, Turkey, the site where it is believed the Apostle John built the final home of the Virgin Mary.
Her family paid tribute to her: “She was one of the kindest people you could ever meet; she opened her heart and soul to any struggling person that needed a shoulder to cry on. She will be sorely missed by many.”
She is survived and prayed for by her husband, Lincoln; son, Matthew; mother, Edilma; brother, Ramiro; sisters, Patricia and Clara and her many extended family members and friends here and in Colombia.
