to be my Last will and Testament, hereby revoking all other wills
and Codicils previously made by me.
ITEM I: I direct the payment of all my just debts,

administrating my estate from my estate as soon after my death as
conveniently may be done.
ITEM II: I give devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and
remainder of my property as follows:
(A) I bequeath my wedding ring to MARK E. HALSEY, my
son, and my engagement ring to M'LISSA M. HALSEY THOMAS, my

(B) I bequeath the sum of $10,000.00 to TRINITY LUTHERAN
CHURCH of Chestnut Street, Camp Hill, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
ITEM III: I give, devise and bequeath all the rest,
residue and remainder of my property, real, personal or mixed,
tangible or intangible, of whatsoever nature and wheresoever
located and all property to which I may be entitled or over which
I may have any power of disposition or appointment and whether
acquired during or after my lifetime to my two children namely
M'LISSA M. HALSEY THOMAS and MARK E. HALSEY, absolutely share and
share alike, and in event either predeceases me his or her share
to go to his or her children then living, per stirpes and not per
capita, and if not survived by children then to my surviving child
above named.
ITEM IV: I direct that any and all taxes that may be
assessed in consequence of my death, including all Inheritance,
Estate and Transfer Taxes imposed upon my estate passing under my
will or otherwise, shall be paid out of the principal of my
residuary estate as a part of the expense of the administration of
my estate.
ITEM V: I authorize and empower my personal representative
and/or said Trustee representative may deem proper, to pay all
debts and claims owed by or to me or my Estate; to sell, lease or
exchange at public or private sale or in such manner, at such

my property, real or personal; to execute, acknowledge and deliver
instruments of conveyance, including deeds in fee simple; to borrow

kind shall be received by the distributees; to conduct any business

stock in the corporation in lieu thereof and hold such stock for

is or may become unproductive or to make sale thereof; to pay
carrying charges and expenses of the property out of other
principal or income of my estate; to invest and reinvest in all
forms of property without restriction to investments authorized for
Pennsylvania fiduciaries, as they deem proper, without regard to
the principle of diversification or risk; to exercise any law-given
option to treat administrative expenses either as income tax or as
estate tax deductions, without regard to whether the expenses were
paid from principal or income. The powers herein conferred shall
be to my named personal representative and said Trustee and all
successors thereto and shall be in addition and not in limitation
of other powers conferred on said fiduciaries.
