Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void all^s previ6f3s
1 Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me.
FIRST
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 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.

including but not limited to jewelry, household goods, antiques,
furniture and memorabilia, in accordance with a separate
memorandum which I may place with my will or deposit with my
