I order and direct my personal representative hereinafter named to pay all of my just debts,
funeral 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
``r advantageous to retain or renew and pay as they become due and payable. If I do not own a burial
plot or a grave marker at the time of my death,I authorize my personal representative, in his,her or
� its sole discretion, to purchase a burial plot and to erect a suitable grave marker at my grave, 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, DENISE JONES, of Scotland, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and DARREN
BRICKER, of Scotland, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, providing that they survive me by sixty
(60) days.

providing such investments do not unnecessarily prevent the prompt settlement of my
estate.
