Filmmaker, activist, legend: There aren't enough words to describe Rob Reiner and the legacy he leaves behind. His mark on comedy and film is undeniable, from his role as Meathead in "All in the Family," to directing beloved classics like "This is Spinal Tap," "The Princess Bride" and "When Harry Met Sally..." just to name a few. It's hard to find someone who hasn't been touched by his work — or who can't recite a few quotable lines from his classic movies.

His iconic characters defined a generation and continue to leave a lasting impression on media and pop culture. If you turn on the TV, there's a good chance you'll hear a reference to a Rob Reiner film. That's the staying power of a comedic giant like him.

What's your favorite Rob Reiner movie, moment or memorable line? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Working on a dream: Once again this year, members of the SCI Direct corporate team in South Florida volunteered with Habitat for Humanity of Broward to work on a house that will be home to a family in need, who also participated in the construction process.
We're honored to work with Habitat and the families they help in their mission of community development by building homes with affordable mortgages – not handouts – and addressing housing crises globally.

Grief, for many of us, is not linear, with a beginning and an end. If you need some support this holiday season, we are presenting a free webinar, in partnership with For Grief, on Tuesday, Dec. 16, in which experts share their own experiences and discuss how to cope at a time that brings up powerful emotions.

The first holidays are NOT always the worst. Sometimes they are, sometimes they are not. Grief is complicated like that.

People often ask us whether they should send holiday cards after a death, and if so, they wonder how they should acknowledge the loss.

This holiday season, the Neptune corporate team's food donations to Feeding South Florida added up to 581 pounds, which translates to 484 meals – far exceeding even last year's donations.
At a time when so many are struggling, we are deeply grateful for everyone's generosity.

God bless these affirmations, every one.
