Robert never asked me to shrink so he could feel important.
He encouraged me to grow.
We were blessed with one child, our son Michael.
From the day he was born, he became the center of our lives.
Robert and I gave him opportunities we had never received, but we tried not to raise him with entitlement. We taught him the importance of hard work, honesty, loyalty, and treating people with dignity regardless of their wealth or position.
Michael grew into a thoughtful and intelligent young man.
He made us proud.
Five years ago, Robert died after a short and devastating battle with pancreatic cancer.
His illness moved so quickly that none of us had time to accept what was happening.
In his will, Robert left his entire estate to me, worth more than $200 million, with the understanding that I would eventually pass our family legacy to Michael.
