Naomi

You were my mentor of The Word My mother-in-law, my friend You taught me of your Holy God Whose throne will never end You were my Naomi, I, Mother, was your Ruth Your precious face shown golden As you taught of Heavenly Truth Naomi, where you are I too Will one day follow to dwell with you Because you took my youngish hand To dwell with you in Holy Lands Naomi, Mother, I am your Ruth Your light still shines beyond my youth In heaven's glow, long now you shine Sweet heavenly light, of God divine 16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God...." Ruth 1:16 ~KJV

I have to admit that the Book of Ruth is my favourite. And the quote is also my favourite one.
