That is a rotten thing to happen to Mrs Papaw. I had something similar happen to me a few years ago, - from being known as the one person that was keeping the organization going, was voted the most highly respected person in that organization, when a new and incompetent boss had arrived on the scene. He disliked me, the regard in which I was held, and the facts and numbers I provided him about imminent bankruptcy and what we might do to stave that off, so he put it around town far and wide that all I wanted was to shut it down So I went from most highly respected 16 year saviour of the organization to Public Enemy Number 1. It made me sick for quite some time - and I cannot begin to express the immense hurt from the lies being spread around. They say not to mix personal and professional but I don't think anyone who cares can help it - personal standards demand one gives of one's best professionally, so if the latter is attacked, it's akin to being physically sliced with a knife. While Mrs papaw will undoubtedly have a stiff upper lip about the whole thing, lots of love expressed from you and her friends will help support her. Sometimes a stupid inane outside attack like she had can seriously undermine everything good she knows herself to be. Obviously the 2 + supervisor have an agenda of which she may be currently unaware and she was the unwitting victim in their crosshairs. For myself it was a long and painful trip, but by gosh, I came out of it better and stronger and with the right priorities for the right things, like family and health. .....Oh! and PS, after I left ...
...... they went bankrupt.
On a serious note I'm sure she is hurt and most likely
