paid from my residuary estate as soon as practicable after my decease as a part of the expense of
the administration of my estate.
Item Two: I give, devise, and bequeath my entire estate, both real and personal and mixed to
my husband Albert Ballots. In the event that he predeceases me, then I give, devise, and
bequeath a portion of my estate to my daughter Deborah J. Ballots in a sum to be determined by
my son Thomas A. Ballots, in his sole and absolute discretion, not to be less than one-fourth nor
to be more than one-third of the estate; and the balance to my son Thomas A. Ballots.
In the event that my son predeceases me, his share shall be distributed to his wife Kathy Renee
