GALLINA, Francesca
April 27, 1948 - July 4, 2009
Francesca (Cesca) Gallina passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 4th, in Richmond General Hospital.
She had a brief, but courageous, encounter with lung cancer.
Cesca was predeceased by her son, Dino, and is survived by her loving family: husband, Peter; son, Paolo; daughter-in-law, Sarah; and grandchildren, Oriana and Adria.
Mom will be remembered for her laughter and loving smile.
She was a mother that gave tirelessly to her children, loved her husband unconditionally, and was a Nana that left a lasting impression with her two granddaughters.
Mom was always surrounded by true friends and close family.
She loved her games, a good cup of tea, and her favourite colour was red.
I'll miss you Ralph - it was a great ride!

There was no such thing as just looking.
It was all an adventure.
