I personally do not know believe that neither Bilbo, Frodo, or Sam lived on forever even though they entered the Blessed Realm with the Elves...
Why do I think this?
Well just because they were allowed to live in Valinor were as no other mortals were allowed, I don't believe it meant that their mortality was taken away and immortality given to them by anyone.
This was granted, not even the Valar as I believe that only Eru could take away their mortality and give them the immortality He had granted to the Elves from the creation of Arda.
However as much as I don't think they lived on forever, I DO believe that Frodo and Sam DID see one another again! I REFUSE to believe that the last time they saw one another was at the Grey Havens!
I believe they were reunited and spent many years together in the Blessed Realm before they passed away....
