And such money my executors will hold in trust for her and will pay to her such amount or amounts quarterly or half-yearly as in their judgment shall appear reasonable and expedient and sufficient for her maintenance and support in the same style and comfort as we have live in during our married life, and if upon her decease or remarriage any of said money shall be unexpended my executors shall divide such unexpended sum equally between my children.
