The family of Rob and Michele Reiner is working on a memorial for the couple, who were slain last weekend at their Brentwood home.

In a statement Monday, children Jake and Romy Reiner thanked the public for the outpouring of support and said details would be forthcoming about a memorial to be held at a later date.

Rob and Michele Reiner were found dead in their Brentwood home Dec. 14. Their son Nick Reiner, 32, was charged Tuesday with their murders.

Nick Reiner also faces a special allegation that he used a deadly weapon, a knife, in the crime, L.A. County Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman said during a news conference announcing the murder charges last week.

On the afternoon the Reiners were found, a massage therapist showed up at the home for a weekly session with the couple. When there was no answer at the gate, the therapist called Romy Reiner, who arrived at the home and discovered her father’s body, according to a source close to the Reiner family who spoke on condition of anonymity.

In a statement last week, the children said: “We now ask for respect and privacy, for speculation to be tempered with compassion and humanity, and for our parents to be remembered for the incredible lives they lived and the love they gave.”
