[News Boquete] Transition of Deborah E. Olsen

For your  prayers for our beloved Deborah as she wings her way to higher realms.

Our Beloved Deborah Ethel Olsen, 56  has made her transition today. After a brave 11 month battle with cervical cancer, she made her transition on Good Friday at 2:44 AM  on March 29, 2013 at her home in Boquete, Panama with her children, Mark, Katherine, Rachel; close friend Christine, and myself.

Deborah  was very devoted to the Ascended Masters. During the 1980's  she stumped across Canada selling books for Summit University Press. She was the Manager of Bonnie Blue silk flower store in the West Edmonton Mall, and from that time forward, helped spread the Ascended Masters' teachings with outreach lectures and several stump tours on the mainland, Maui, and Panama.  We will miss her with all of our hearts!

Debbie (as she was known in her youth) is lovingly cherished by her sister, Colleen - Deborah also always made her laugh - her brother-in-law, Philip, and nephews, Daniel and Jonathan." and  her many Cousins in Canada and Aunt Joyce.

Deborah loved to inspire children with her Sparkle Sparkle Violet Flame songs (CD is available on Amazon), as well as with her live performances at conferences for the children as the "Fairy Lady."  She was a Kindermusic teacher for the early part of her motherhood. Her love for children was so sweet, and her commitment  to her own children will never be forgotten.  Deborah was a wonderful mother and her children will remember her as the one who could always make them laugh. They hold her as a close example of purity and love in their hearts.

 

You may also remember her selling "banana ice cream" and her raw food desserts at the BCP Tuesday market,often with our Daughters.

There will be a private family Cremation  Service in Panama City on April 2 at 3:00pm.

We plan to have a Memorial Service here in Boquete at the Valle Escondido Chapel  April 7 at 3:00 PM for her Panama friends.  Please attend if yu can.    Please email any testimonial you would like read at the service, if you can not attend.

Then a Memorial Service at our Church  in Montana in April.  

 

Always Victory,

Jon Olsen

iamjonolsen@aol.com

Please make the  prayer below for Deborah:

A Prayer for Souls Who Are Taking Their Leave of the Earth Today

(from Ashram Rituals)

Beloved Presence of God I AM in the hearts of all mankind, beloved Lord Michael, Archangel of Deliverance, and your angelic hosts:

In the name of the souls of humanity--particularly those who shall be called from their mortal forms by our heavenly Father this day--I make this call.

Let the angels of peace stand by the physical body of each soul and hold at perfect peace the aura and feelings of these ones taking their leave of the physical octave and of those present where such release is taking place.

Through the presence of the seraphim of God let the aura of sanctity be sustained at the solemn hour of transition that the soul may be cut free from her earthly tabernacle by the legions of the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel.

Let all fear and doubt, sorrow in separation and grief in the parting of loved ones be consumed by Archangel Zadkiel's angels of the violet flame that there be no distress to souls standing at the threshold of a new freedom.

Let the Lord's angels of deliverance meet each soul. Let not a lifestream belonging to earth's evolution pass through the veil of so-called death unattended.

According to his will, let all children of God who pass from the screen of life this day be taken to the temples of mercy and forgiveness and bathed in the purifying fires of Saint Germain's violet flame.

Let them be prepared to pass before the Lords of Karma in the dignity of their Christ Self and in full conscious awareness; and let each one be assigned to a schoolroom of Life and be given the opportunity to study the Great Law as it pertains to his own evolution.

I call to the Lords of Mercy and Love to enfold all those whose loved ones are about to leave or are recently departed this earth, to transmute and consume all burden and sense of loss, and to fill each heart and home with peace and understanding for the opportunity afforded souls called to other realms to progress on the path of eternal Life.

So be it! I accept it done in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.
