We mournfully announce the passing of our parents, Freddy Martinez and Martha Martinez Alfaro on October 8th, 2021. Freddy and Martha happily met and married in Nicaragua before making their way to Canada with their five children Gloria, Jairo, Martha, Freddy and Michael in late 1980s. Their settlement in Ottawa brought many happy memories and productive life to both, and the opening of “La Colonia” convenience store served them to connect with their loved Latin and Local community.
They may be gone from our sight but never gone from our heart. They will be forever loved and always remembered.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness, and support during this difficult time. And thank you for making and supporting “La Colonia” all these long years. You are really appreciated.
“If only we could see the splendor of heaven
To which our loved ones are called from you and me
We’d understand
If only we could hear the welcome they receive
From old familiar voices all so dear
We would not grieve
If only we could know the reason why they went
We’d smile and wipe away the tears that flow
And wait with content.”
…till we meet again Mom and Dad, Rest in Peace.
We love you.
