By Shore and Sedge

Quote, The hand that had been placed in the brides cold fingers slipped from them and mechanically sought Gideons again. The significance of the unconscious act brought the first spontaneous tears into the womans eyes. It was his last act, for when Gideons voice was again lifted in prayer, the spirit for whom it was offered had risen with it, as it were, still lovingly hand in hand, from the earth forever.
