Ethical-legacy wills convey 'who we are' to heirs

Terminally ill with pancreatic cancer, Carnegie Mellon professor Randy Pausch delivered his "The Last Lecture" in 2007.

His talk and, later, bestselling book included childhood stories, such as painting his room and covering his walls with drawings of chess pieces, a quadratic equation and Pandora's box. He expressed his values, describing the importance of handwritten "thank you" letters, and honored his wife and three children.
