mother, grandmother, and great grandmother
Farmington, Michigan

chapter 1:16,17
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:
Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so unto me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
