All the rest residue and remainder of my Estate, real, personal, and mixed, whatsoever and
wheresoever situate, I give, devise and bequeath to my five (5) children in equal shares, oer stirves, to

COLLINS, ROBERT BRENDAN COLLINS, and STACIE LOUISE RUSSELL.
2a. (1)
The share given immediately above to my daughter, STACIE L. RUSSELL, shall be paid
over to MARY ELIZABETH COBLE, Trustee, in trust, to be administered upon the following terms
and conditions:
My beneficiary's said share shall be maintained separate and apart and shall be invested in
good and safe investments with a reasonable rate of return. The income therefrom shall be payable
to her for life. However, the frequency and period of such payments shall be strictly, solely, and
absolutely in the discretion of my said Trustee. In the event that my said Trustee, in her same
aforesaid discretion, deems it wise and/or prudent to do so, she may make such payments directly to
anyone or any entity providing services or care to my said beneficiary instead of directly to my said
beneficiary .
In the event my said Trustee, in her aforesaid discretion, deems it necessary for the absolute
welfare of my said beneficiary, after taking into consideration all other sources of funds, support, and
maintenance, as well as other properties, of my said beneficiary, my said Trustee may invade the
corpus of said Trust and make payments from the corpus in the manner aforesaid.
In the event the said MARY ELIZABETH COBLE is unwilling or unable to act or to
continue to act as Trustee, I appoint my son, GREGORY RICHARD COLLINS, to act in her
place and stead. In the event he also is unwilling or unable to so act, I appoint my son-in-law,
PATRICK COBLE to act in his place and stead.
2a. (2)
I direct that the interests of my beneficiary in the Trust hereby created, whether in the
corpus or income thereof, shall be free from liability to attachment or other legal process issued at
the instance of any creditor or assignee of such beneficiary, and I direct that no payment shall be
made by way of anticipation of sums which may thereafter accrue to my beneficiary.
