understanding, do make, publish and declare this to be my LAST WILL
and TESTAMENT, hereby revoking any and all Wills and Codicils
previously made by me.
I
I declare that I am married to BRENDA ANN COOK, and that I
have one (1) son, WESLEY LEE COOK, born December 29, 1971. At the
time of the wri ting of this Will, I realize that I have other
children from a former marriage, however, I have not had contact
with my other children for several years and it is my intention
that if any property passes under this Will to any of my children,
then all that property will pass to my son, WESLEY LEE COOK.
II
I direct that my debts and funeral expenses be paid as soon
after my death as is practicable by my Executrix out of my
residuary estate, but not from any assets, funds, death benefits
or insurance proceeds which are otherwise excludable or exempt from
my gross estate for federal estate valuation or tax purposes.
III
I direct that all estate, succession, legacy, inheritance
or other transfer taxes, however designated that shall become
payable by reason of my death in respect of all property comprising
my gross estate for death tax purposes, whether or not such
property passes under this LAST WILL, shall be paid by my Executrix
out of my residuary estate, but not from any assets, funds, death
benefits or insurance proceeds which are otherwise excludable or
exempt from my gross estate for federal estate valuation or tax
purposes.

If my wife, BRENDA, shall predecease or fail to survive me by
thirty (30) days, I give, devise and bequeath all of my property,
whether real or personal, wherever situate, including any property
over which I may have a power of appointment, to my son, WESLEY LEE

as Executrix of this LAST WILL, to serve without bond. If my wife
is unable or unwilling to act in that capacity, then I nominate,
constitute and appoint my son, WESLEY LEE COOK, as Executor of this
LAST WILL, to serve without bond.
