Together In Life,

united in death,

in Roermont in the southern part of the Netherlands, where most people are Catholic, there is a cemetery with a large burial site for Catholics and a small area for Protestants
however the Protestant part of the cemetery is separated by tall brick wall which led to this strange grave that spans both sides of the cemetery, here is the story,

'in 1842 a twenty-two year old Catholic woman of nobility (J.W.C. van Gorkum) married a colonel in the Dutch Cavalry, He was not of nobility and was Protestant as well, that must have been the scandal of the century in Roermont, however, the marriage had lasted almost forty years, then the colonel died,

eight years later the woman past away also, She had refused to be laid to rest in the family's large tomb and, instead, had ordered the monument that you can still see today, She lies on one side of the wall, he on the other, still holding hands', true love will alway find a way.
