On the afternoon of Sept 11, 2011 Sandra Jean Frederick-Tripp returned her elements to the universe and went in search of its final truths.
But before she left she gave several of her bodily organs to help extend the lives of several people she had never met.
And if some of those people repeat this act when it comes their turn to" shuffle off this mortal coil" and those that receive their organs do the same thing then in a very real sense some part of Sandy might live forever.
How strange that one of our least perfected sciences ( medicine ) should finally provide the chance for immortality that Religions have been falsely promising us for over 60 centuries.
