Description

Dette er et smukt kærlighedsm monument. Et symbol på at kærlighed nemt kan overvinde sociale umuligheder. Det er historien om Jacobus van Gorkum og Josephina van Aefferden. Han var kavalerioberst og militskommissær i Limburg. Han giftede sig i 1842 med den roermondiske jomfru Josephina Carlina Petronella Hubertina van Aefferden. På grund af deres baggrund var det et blandet ægteskab; Van Gorkum var fra husstand kvæker, hans kone var katolik. Også alders- og statusforskellen mellem dem skabte dengang opsigt. Van Gorkum blev efter sin død begravet på den protestantiske del af kirkegården. Hans enke ville begraves hos ham, men kunne som katolik ikke begraves i uhelliget jord. Løsningen blev fundet i en dobbeltgrav, på begge sider af muren, gravstenene forbundet af to hænder, der griber ind i hinanden over muren.
