Does space ever end? If it does there has to be something beyond that. There can't just be a blank page.

Your question is very profound - in fact no scientist has ever been able to offer any answer to it. Yet, it is at the same time "vague". If you assume there is something "beyond" the boundary of space, then you've just automatically posed another question: what is "beyond" the boundary of that something?
Instead of asking such a question, may be you should explore others, not any less profound, but more basic that we can all hope some day someone among us can provide some insight... Such as .... what is space?

For practical purposes beyond the end of space there can be no matter or energy. Space is believed to be still expanding into a limitless void. Because mass curves space, the space beyond our universe may be affected by the total mass of the universe. It is not known (yet) whether the universe has enough mass to stop expanding and contract or to keep expanding for all time. A good question would be whether there is one or more universes in the great void beyond.

It starts after the earth's atmosphere.
but :
"International law states that there is no definitive point where the atmosphere ends and space begins. The major space powers accept the following definition: Space begins at " the lowest perigee attained by orbiting space vehicles..."

The universe is of finite size, but has no end. You can go as far as you please in any direction, aod things won't look much different than they do right here. A common analogy is a bug on the surface of a balloon; the bug can go where it pleases but never encounter an end. Now suppose that the balloon is expanding, and you have a plausible model of the universe.

Ur question is at present quite unanswerable scientifically. But spiritually speaking, it is believed that after space comes our mind, our intelligence, then the various elements, the sea dividing this realm from the next, and finally the Heaven

No one is sure.
We can define the possible edge of the Universe as that point on which the inner side the Kelvin tempeature is greater than zero (>0) and on the outer side is abosolute Zero (0).
We have NEVER, however, meaured anything to read absolute Zero and probably never could.

It's hard to wrap your mind around,but space is not infinite.Some people misunderstand the BB theory to think all the matter "exploded into space"That is not what it says.BB theory states that space itself began expanding at that time,so,there is nothing "beyond" that.Not matter,not space,not time.Mind boggling for sure,but,that is the theory.If you want detailed,laymen terms,description of this concept and others,I suggest going to the "Nova:The Elegant Universe"It's free,broke down into several short vids,breaks it down much more eloquently than I could hope to on this forum.Get ready to have your mind blown

space is infinite there is no end
think of it as a ring no begginig and no end just a continuous cycle constantly renewing and expanding
though a galaxy can deminish it never goes anywhere but incorperates into something new creating another galaxy
