I cherish the time we spent working together and the many films he made that have shaped who I am,\u201d she continued, adding:<\/p>\n
\u201cRob and his lovely wife Michele were always so kind and it brought me so much joy any time I was lucky enough to see them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cChristopher and I are numb and sad and shocked about the violent, tragic deaths of our dear friends Rob and Michele Singer Reiner and our ONLY focus and care right now is for their children and immediate families and we will offer all support possible to help them,\u201d wrote Jamie Lee Curtis, who played Deschanel\u2019s mother on the show.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be plenty of time later to discuss the creative lives we shared and the great political and social impact they both had on the entertainment industry, early childhood development, the fight for gay marriage and their global care for a world in crisis. We have lost great friends. Please give us time to grieve.\u201d<\/p>\n
