We laughed together, we cried together, we played together, we dreamed together. We had dinner this past week, and they were in the best place in the their lives: loving one another, loving their friends, their family, their country. They never gave up on our country. They wanted to make it better. They always, always wanted to make our world better, and they were willing to fight to make it the country they loved,” she wrote on Instagram. “I loved them, and I knew they loved me, for any friend like that is such a gift. They gave me and all their friends that gift all the time. They loved their kids so much, and they never stopped trying to be really good parents. My love is with their family. I’m so sad for them. I’m devastated, gutted, shocked, stunned, and so deeply saddened, as are all of the people who loved them and who they loved. I hope people remember them as two deeply talented, kind, fun, loving, good, patriotic people who loved each other deeply.”
“I’ll miss you, Michele. I’ll miss you, Rob. I love you both. Thank you for your friendship. God bless you both. Life will not be the same without you here, that’s for sure. ♥️” she concluded.
New Details Released Regarding Nick Reiner’s Current Mental State
GettyOn Wednesday, Dec. 17, Nick Reiner appeared in court for the first time, after he wasn’t there on Tuesday morning because he had not been “medically cleared” to do so. Since his appearance, a new report has shined a light on Nicks’ current mental state.
TMZ reports that Nick is “not been able to process” his actions fully.
“A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ … Nick is not reeling in grief. Rather, he’s “in a fog” … in no small part due to his medical condition and the meds he’s taking,” the outlet wrote. “Our source goes on to characterize Nick as “calm,” “cognizant,” and “dazed” — adding Nick isn’t even close to processing what happened.”
