I order and direct my personal representative hereinafter named to pay all of my just debts,
fimeral expenses and expenses involved or connected with the administration of my estate as soon
after my death as is reasonably possible. However, my personal representative need not accelerate
and pay those unmatured obligations which, in his, her or its opinion, it might be proper and more
advantageous to retain or renew and pay as they become due and payable. I do not wish to be buried
or have a grave marker. I wish to be cremated. I authorize my personal representative, in his, her
or its sole discretion, to purchase cremation services, and to expend sums from my estate for this
purpose.

I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, together with all
insurance proceeds thereon of whatever nature and wheresoever situate in equal shares to my
children, J. CRAIG WILLIAMSON of 35 Ridge Avenue, Carlisle, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, and MARY B. CARSON, of 108 Ewe Drive, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
