The body’s returned to the Mother Earth, but the Person lives on in the hearts & minds of those who knew him/her, and through all other effects … direct or indirect … of his/her participation in the living world. If anyone has learned anything and/or been moved in any way by that person’s life and struggles, the person is made immortal thereby, his/her torch being passed and carried forward.
