Jennifer Aniston Remembers Matthew Perry: ‘You Are Now Completely at Peace’

Jennifer Aniston is remembering her “Friends” co-star Matthew Perry in a touching Instagram post.

On Wednesday, the actress posted a tribute to Perry, a text exchange between the two, as well as an emotional scene they shared on “Friends.”

Aniston wrote, “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.”

She continued, “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. 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.”

Jennifer said, “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. His life literally depended on it. And boy did he succeed in doing just that. He made all of us laugh. And laugh hard.”

Aniston said she had been “pouring over texts to one another” that left her “laughing and crying then laughing again.”

She vowed, “I’ll keep them forever and ever. I found one text that he sent me out of nowhere one day. It says it all.”

The text, which she shared on the next slide, included a photo of them laughing together and included Perry’s message, “Making you laugh just made my day. It made my day.” She responded, “The first of THOUSANDS of times.”

Jennifer concluded her message with, “Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain. I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying ‘could you BE any crazier?’”

She signed off, “Rest little brother. You always made my day…”

The clip Aniston included is Chandler trying to say goodbye to Rachel, and he tells her he loves her and is going to miss her. As their characters get teary-eyed and hug, Chandler lightens the mood with a joke. Watch it here.

Soon after, David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow honored Perry on their Instagram accounts.

David wrote of his “Friends” co-star, “Thank you for ten incredible years of laughter and creativity… 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.”

Schwimmer continued, “And you had heart. Which you were generous with, and shared with us, so we could create a family out of six strangers.”

He included a photo of their “Friends” characters Ross and Chandler dressed up in “Miami Vice” inspired suits and wrote, “This photo is from one of my favorite moments with you. Now it makes me smile and grieve at the same time.”

David continued, “I imagine you up there, somewhere, in the same white suit, hands in your pockets, looking around — ‘Could there BE any more clouds?’”

Lisa posted a throwback pic of herself with Matthew from the 1994 NBC Upfronts, writing on Instagram, “Shot the pilot, ‘Friends Like Us,’ got picked up then immediately, we were at the NBC Upfronts. Then… You suggested we play poker AND made it so much fun while we initially bonded. Thank you for that.”

Lisa went on to thank Matthew for the numerous ways that he made an impacted on her life.

“Thank you for making me laugh so hard at something you said, that my muscles ached, and tears poured down my face EVERY DAY,” Lisa shared. “Thank you for your open heart in a six way relationship that required compromise. And a lot of ‘talking.’ Thank you for showing up at work when you weren’t well and then, being completely brilliant. Thank you for the best 10 years a person gets to have. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for all I learned about GRACE and LOVE through knowing you. Thank you for the time I got to have with you, Matthew.”
