These decisions were almost detrimental to her daughter and her husband whom she loved with all her soul. Instead of protecting those she loved, her decisions had painful consequences rather than healing remedies. The influencing actions and devastating circumstances all surrounded and involved one woman, who wore a veil of mystery, even to her Father.
