Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and'" understanding, do make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void all previous Wills and Codicils heretofore made by me. FIRST I order and direct my Executor 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 Executor 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 1 do not own a burial plot or a grave marker at the time of my death, I authorize my Executor/Executrix, 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.

THIRD Should my daughter predecease me or die on or before the sixtieth (60) day following my death, then I give, devise and bequeath my entire estate of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situate, together with all insurance proceeds thereon, in equal shares to my granddaughters, KARISA J.

I direct my Executor/Executrix to divide among such beneficiaries all personal property of a sentimental or family nature (excluding cash, stocks, bonds and the like), 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 attorney. In the absence of such disposition by memorandum, I direct that the said tangible personal property be divided between my residual beneficiaries with due regard for their personal preferences in as nearly equal shares as practical, with the value of such dispositions being credited to the share of each respective recipient. If the said beneficiaries do not agree to the division of the personal property provided for hereunder, the decision of my Executor/Executrix, including the decision to sell the property at public or private sale and distribute the proceeds therefrom as provided hereinafter, shall be final and conclusive on all parties. 200 N.
