I, CHRISTA SHIREY, Social Security Number 577-62-9888, of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, declare that this is my LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT .and I revoke all other
wills and codicils previously made by me.
I. I appoint my son, THOMAS N. SHIREY of Georgia as my Personal Representative
concerning this Will. If my son, THOMAS N. SHIREY, is unable or fails to serve, I then
appoint my daughter, NANETTE ROSS of New Jersey, to serve as my Personal Representative.
A. I request that my Personal Representative be permitted to serve without bond or
surety thereon and without the intervention of any court, except as required by law. I direct that
my Personal Representative act in unsupervised administration so as to administer my estate with
a minimum of court supervision. If it becomes necessary to have ancillary administration of my
estate in any jurisdiction where my Personal Representative is unable or does not desire to
qualify as ancillary legal representative, Iappoint as such ancillary legal representative such
individual or corporation as my Personal Representative shall designate, in writing.
B. I direct my Personal Representative to pay the expenses of m;y last illness, the
expenses of a funeral appropriate to my station in life and custom of living (including a suitable
monument or mazker for my grave), and written charitable pledges which I have made. I grant
my Personal Representative the power to extend or renew any debt for such time as my Personal
Representative shall deem appropriate.
C. All estate, inheritance, succession and other death taxes with respect to all property
passing under this my Will shall be paid from and borne by the principal. of my residuary estate,
without regard to reimbursement, as if such taxes were administration ea:penses. My Personal
Representative may pay such taxes at any time deemed advisable, whether or not then due and
payable.
D. My Personal Representative is requested to settle my estate as soon after my death as
maybe practicable, and to pay or deliver every legacy or bequest to my beneficiaries without
waiting any time that maybe believed to be customary in probate matters.

E. I may leave a letter of intent with the executed copy of this Will for the purpose of
giving guidance to my Personal Representative concerning the distribution or sale of certain
items of my property. I request, but do not require, that my Personal ReIresentative honor my
wishes therein expressed.
II. I hereby make the following specific bequests:
A. I give to my fiance, STEPHEN D. KASARDA, a life estate in my real property at 103
Elm Drive, Cazlisle, Pennsylvania 17013 until he dies or decides to vacate the property
whereupon the property should be sold and the proceeds divided equally between STEPHEN D.
KASARDA fifty percent (50%) and my still living children fifty percent (50%) or their heirs.
B. I give all of my jewelry, to my daughter, NANETTE ROSS ofNew Jersey.
C. I give the crystal that was given to me by my mother, DORO'fHEA HECHT, to my
son, THOMAS N. SHIREY, JR. of Georgia.
D. I give a total of $10,000 (ten thousand dollazs) each to the following individuals and
to any other grandchild that survives me: RACHEL L. SHIREY, CALVIN SHIl2EY, MAREN
E. ROSS, STEPHEN DUNST and RENEE DiJNST.
III. I give, devise and bequeath, absolutely and forever, all of the re;st, residue and
remainder of my estate and property of which I may be seized or possessed, or to which I may be
entitled, at the time of my death, wherever situated or of whatever nature:, be it real, personal, or
mixed, to my son, THOMAS N. SHIREY, JR. of Georgia and my daughter, NANETTE ROSS
ofNew Jersey, in shazes of substantially equal value to be divided as they may agree. It is my
hope but not my direction, that these bequests be shazed with MICHELLE KASARDA and
YVONNE DUNST in whatever amount or fashion as my son, THOMAS N. SHIREY of
Georgia, and my daughter, DANETTE ROSS ofNew Jersey, may choose.
A. If any of my children shall not survive me, then the share of that deceased child shall
go to the descendants of that child, who are to take per stirpes and not per capita. If any of my
children shall not survive me and shall not be survived by any descendants, then the shaze of that
deceased child shall be distributed to my surviving children and the descendants of any of my
other children who fail to survive me, in the manner set forth above.
B. If they aze unable to agree, the division among my children acrd the descendants of
any of my children who fail to survive me shall be made by my Persona]. Representative, in that
person's sole and absolute discretion. I empower my Personal Representative to sell any or all of
such property, if such property is not distributed in kind hereunder, and 1:o distribute the proceeds
among my said children in substantially equal shazes. Any determination of my Personal
Representative as to what should pass or be sold under this paragraph and to whom it should pass
or be delivered or at what price it should be sold shall be conclusive.

IV. Except as otherwise provided in this Will, I have intentionally 1:ailed to provide for any
other relatives or other persons, whether claiming to be an heir of mine or not. Insofar as I have
failed to provide in this Will for any of my issue now living or later born or adopted, such failure
is intentional and not occasioned by accident or mistake.
V. Any beneficiary who fails to survive until One Hundred and Twenty (120) hours after
my death shall be deemed to have predeceased me, and the gift to that beneficiary shall be
disposed of accordingly.
VI. Definitions:
A. The term "children" as used in this Will does not include adopted and afterborn
persons. The term "children" as used in this Will shall not include step-children, the natural born
or adopted children of a person's spouse who aze not the natural born children of the person. A
relationship by or through legal adoption shall be treated the same as a relationship by or through
blood for purpose of succession to property under this Will.
B. The term "per stirpes" as used in this Will means that whenever a distribution is to be
made to the descendants of any person, the property to be distributed shall be divided into as
many shazes as there are (1) living children of the person, and (2) deceased children, who left
descendants who aze then living, of the person. Each living child (if any) shall take one share
and the share of each deceased child shall be divided among his then living descendants in the
same manner.
C. The term "Personal Representative" as used in this Will shall have the same meaning
as Executor, Executrix, Independent Executor, or any other title of like import which is used to
describe such a fiduciary.
VII. In addition to any powers granted by the laws of the jurisdiction in which this Will is
probated, I hereby authorize and empower the fiduciaries named in this Will, to the extent of the
discretion herein granted, to sell, exchange, convey, transfer, assign, mortgage, pledge, lease or
rent the whole or any part of my real or personal estate, to invest, reinvest, or retain investments
of my estate, to perform all acts and to execute all documents which my fiduciaries may deem
necessary or proper in regazd to my property. If any of my fiduciaries elect to receive
compensation for services, such compensation will be that allowed by law.
VIII. If any part of this Will shall be invalid, illegal, or inoperative for any reason, it is my
intention that the remaining parts, so far as possible and reasonable, shall be effective and fully
operative. My Personal Representative may seek and obtain court instntctions for the purpose of
carrying out as nearly as may be possible the intention of this Will as shown by the terms hereof,
including any terms held invalid, illegal, or inoperative.
