In addition to Perry and Aniston, the six main stars of the show included Courteney Cox (Monica Geller), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe Buffay), Matt LeBlanc (Joey Tribbiani), and David Schwimmer (Ross Geller). After working together for 10 seasons, the cast formed close friendships both on and off of the set. 

“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. 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 shared a screenshot of a text exchange between her and Perry that she says she will keep and cherish forever. 

Aniston concludes her post with a touching farewell: 

“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?’”
