Answer:
Jonas will not longer receive memories. The people will have them. The memories of the Giver will be released into the people of the community. The people will become aware of not only what is going on around them, but they will be aware of the history of the world. They will finally realize their own reality and their own destiny. Jonas does not agree with the idea of Sameness. He does not regret leaving the community, but he will miss The Giver. You could assume that Jonas and Gabriel do die, since the book does infer that they are freezing to death. BUT, you could also be where you believe that Jonas has the ability and the desire to get to the sled. They find another life. Jonas is now the new keeper of the memories. Possibly there is someone waiting for Jonas - the person that put the sled there in the first place...Think about Elsewhere. The author wants you to come to your own conclusion. I like to believe that good is going to come from his life and continue on....
