My death is certain. There is no doubt. Life is not certain. It may be lost or hindered at any time. That is why it must be lived with purpose.

When I die I shall make way for those who follow, to build with renewed vigour and knowledge on the world as they find it, including the effects of my existence. I shall be no more than atoms available for recycling by some other animals, plants or rocks. Those who love me will be sad, that I regret, but lasting impressions have been made from the day I was born. My existence can never be erased. And that is surely more than enough.
