PATSY A. SCHMIDT
I, PATSY A. SCHMIDT, of 3 Garland Court, Carlisle, Cumberland Cogntyr,= rn
Pennsylvania, make this my will. I revoke any other wills or codicils to wills made:by me. c a
co
ARTICLE I. DISTRIBUTION OF MY ESTATE
A. I give my tangible personal property to my husband, Michael R. Schmidt, ("my
husband"), if he survives me by sixty(60) days. If my husband does not survive me by sixty (60)
days, I give my tangible personal property to Todd Eppley, Tammy Legros, Toby Eppley, Phillip
Schmidt, and Mike Schmidt, share and share alike. Tangible personal property includes stamp or
coin collections but does not include other money or stock certificates or other evidences of
intangible rights or interests. Tangible personal property does not include any property that is
held primarily for investment purposes or used in connection with any business in which I may
be engaged or in which I may have any interest at the time of my death.
B. I give the residue of my estate to my husband, if he survives me by sixty (60)
days. If my husband does not survive me by sixty (60) days, I give the residue of my estate in
equal shares to Todd Eppley, Tammy Legros, Toby Eppley, Phillip Schmidt, and Mike Schmidt,
per stirpes,with the exception that should Mike Schmidt predecease me, his entire share goes to
Phillip Schmidt's son, Charly Schmidt.
ARTICLE II. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES AND OTHER CHARGES
I desire a modest Christian funeral. I direct my Executor to pay my funeral and burial
expenses (including the cost of a monument or marker over my grave). The estate, inheritance
and similar taxes (including those not passing under this Will), assessable on my death shall also
be paid as a cost of administering my estate. My Executor shall not request any beneficiary to
pay any part of such tax.
ARTICLE III. APPOINTMENT OF FIDUCIARIES AND POWERS
A. I name Michael R. Schmidt to be my executor. Should he fail or cease to act, I
name Todd Eppley to be my Executor (hereinafter "Executor") in his place. If administration of
my estate or any trust springing from this document should be necessary in any jurisdiction
where my Executor or my Trustee is unable to qualify, or if my Executor or my Trustee deems it
necessary for any other reason, I give to my Executor and my Trustee the power to designate any
individual or corporation with trust powers to serve with my Executor or my Trustee or in my
Executor's or my Trustee's stead. I request that no security be required of any Executor or
Trustee, including an Executor or Trustee named pursuant to the preceding sentence. References

in my will to my "Executor" and my "Trustee" are to the one or ones acting at the time, except
where otherwise specifically provided.
B. Any corporate Executor or Trustee shall receive for its services the compensation
for which it is willing to undertake similar services for others at the time such services are
rendered, as evidenced by its published fee schedule in effect from time to time, unless it is
willing to agree upon a fee that is less than its customary fee. Any individual who serves as
Executor or Trustee shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation for his or her services
and, whether or not such individual receives compensation, shall be entitled to be reimbursed for
expenses incurred for such services.
C. I grant my Executor and my Trustee the powers set forth in 20 Pa.C.S. §§ 3311-
3360 and 20 Pa.C.S. §§ 7771-7780 and §§ 8104-8105 respectively. In addition, my Trustee may
merge any trust under this will with any trust having the same trustee and substantially the same
dispositive provisions. If at any time after my death the size of any trust under this will is so
small that, in the opinion of my Trustee, the trust is uneconomical to administer,my Trustee may
terminate the trust and distribute the assets to the person or persons authorized to receive the trust
income in such shares as my Trustee may deem appropriate. No Trustee who is also an income
beneficiary of the trust at issue shall exercise any discretion granted in the preceding sentence.
My Executor and my Trustee may distribute tangible personal property passing to a minor to any
adult person with whom the minor resides, and that person's receipt shall be a sufficient voucher
in the accounts of my Executor and my Trustee.
THIS SPACE LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY

where otherwise specifically stated:

singular shall include the plural, and vice versa.
