Reiner Family Tragedy

Hollywood hitmaker Rob Reiner, 78, and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, 68, were found dead on Sunday.

The couple was reportedly stabbed to death in their Brentwood home Saturday night, after Reiner got in a heated exchange with his 32-year-old son Nick at Conan O’Brien’s holiday party. Nick, who has a history of drug addiction and mental health struggles, has been charged with two counts of murder and is being held without bail.

Tributes have poured in for Reiner, who won Emmys for his acting in “All in the Family,” and directed classics like “A Few Good Men,” “When Harry Met Sally…,” and “The Princess Bride.” His wife, Michele, was a Hollywood photographer and producer. 

President Trump sparked bipartisan criticism for posting that Reiner, an outspoken liberal activist and Trump critic, died as a result of “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE
We’re reminded again that our world is marked by darkness and violence, and Christians are right to long for God’s Kingdom to come. As we wait with hope and rock-solid confidence, let’s share the light and peace of that Kingdom with everyone we encounter.

“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; grief, crying, and pain will be no more, because the previous things have passed away. Then the one seated on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new.”
