Sanders, Chief Judge
(concurring):
I concur in both the result and reasoning of Judge Goolsby. However, I must say that I have had great difficulty in determining the intent of R. P. Byrd, Sr., from the language of his will. Nevertheless, I am persuaded from my reading of his will as a whole that he intended for his descendants to inherit his estate in preference to Epworth. It is our primary duty to discover and give effect to the intent of a testator. May v. Riley, 279 S. C. 248, 305 S. E. (2d) 77 (1983). For this reason, I concur in Judge Goolsby’s opinion.
