First:
I desire that all my just debts and funeral expenses be paid.

It is my further will that my wife, Elizabeth Hemmer, shall act as executrix of
this my last will during her natural life, and that she be not required to give any bond
for the performance of her duties as such executrix, and that she be not required to file
