reimbursement for any such tax so paid, even though on proceeds of insurance or other

to the personal preferences of such children.

shall pay to Kay Cooper, out of said trust, $1,000 per month for each month of her life, until her

which case the trust shall terminate.Upon herdeath or other termination of the trust,any monies
remaining shall be distributed in accordance with section V hereof.
ITEM V. I give, devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my
