Jennifer Aniston is the next Friends' star to share a message about Matthew Perry and how she feels about him.
Aniston said, "Oh boy this one has cut deep… Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I’ve never experienced before. We all experience loss at some point in our lives. Loss of life or loss of love. Being able to really SIT in this grief allows you to feel the moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone that deep. And we loved him deeply." She continued, "He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the 6 of us. This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be. For Matty, he KNEW he loved to make people laugh. As he said himself, if he didn’t hear the 'laugh' he thought he was going to die." She added, "His life literally depended on it. And boy did he succeed in doing just that. He made all of us laugh. And laugh hard. In the last couple weeks, I’ve been pouring over our texts to one another. Laughing and crying then laughing again. I’ll keep them forever and ever. I found one text that he sent me out of nowhere one day. It says it all."
David Schwimmer, too, referenced Perry’s humor in his tribute.
“Thank you for ten incredible years of laughter and creativity,” Schwimmer wrote. “I will never forget your impeccable comic timing and delivery. You could take a straight line of dialogue and bend it to your will, resulting in something so entirely original and unexpectedly funny it still astonishes.”
He described how the cast became like a family.
“And you had heart. Which you were generous with, and shared with us, so we could create a family out of six strangers,” Schwimmer wrote.
Aniston wrote of her love for Perry, adding that she “talks” to him daily and knows he is “completely at peace and out of any pain.”
“Rest little brother,” she concluded her post.” You always made my day…”
