Is there a heaven? I believe there is. It is nothing that we
  could possibly imagine or concieve of - our minds cannot contain
  the vastness of what it is. While it is true that everything
  dies, it is more importantly true that absolutely nothing dies:

  through the influence of our life's actions and words upon
  others, or through chi...ldren, or through our dust becoming
  part of some future star yet to form that will eventually
  explode, creating new elements out of our dust, creating a new
  sun and planets with a new set of living beings who will one day
  contemplate, a billion years from now, "Who Are We?" And we will
  be a part of them, their most distance ancestors. "
