FIRST: I direct my Executrix to pay the expenses of my last illness and funeral from the residue of my Estate. SECOND: I direct that all Estate, Inheritance and other death taxes that may be assessed with respect to property or interest passing under my Will by whatever jurisdiction imposed, shall be paid from my residuary Estate as a part of the expense of the administration of my Estate. THIRD: I give all tangible personal property owned by me at my death and all insurance policies on such property as follows: A. To those individuals who survive me by thirty(30) days who are designated on a list or memorandum signed by me which refers to this Will or is found with a copy thereof, the items listed beside their names. If no such list is found within thirty(30) days of my death, it shall be presumed that no such list exists. B. The balance, including any item under subparagraph A., the bequest of Page 1 of 6 which has lapsed, to my wife,DEBORAH ANN KENDRICK,if she survives me by thirty(30)days. If my wife, DEBORAH, fails to so survive me, then I give the same to the following beneficiaries: my daughter, KATHRYN LEE KENDRICK, my son, DAVID LAXTON KENDRICK, my daughter, WHITNEY ROCHELE KENDRICK, my son, PRESTON SCOTT KENDRICK, my stepson, JOHN FITZGERALD EDMONDSON, and my stepdaughter, AMY BETH BENDER, if they survive me by thirty (30) days, or to the survivors thereof who shall so survive me, to be divided among them as they may agree or, if they are unable to agree, as my Executrix may decide.

With regard to retained property and accumulated income,my Trustee may, at any time, in her discretion, apply as much of the principal or income as she may deem necessary or desirable to the health, support, maintenance or education of the beneficiary.
