The “Murder Mystery” star shared several photos, including a screenshot of a conversation she had with Perry before her death. “Oh boy this was so deep… Saying goodbye to our Matty has been a crazy wave of emotions I’ve never experienced before. We all experience loss at some point in our lives. Loss of life or loss of love,” he began his statement.
She continued, “Being able to really SIT in this grief allows you to feel moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone that deeply. And we love her so much. She’s part of our DNA. There’s always been six of us. This is a chosen family that for – forever changing our course and what we will go through.”
Aniston spoke in depth about her close friend, adding, “For Matty, he KNOWS he likes to make people laugh. As he said himself, if he didn’t hear ‘laughter’ he thought he would die. His life really depended on it. And did he succeed in doing just that. He made us all laugh. And laugh out loud. In recent weeks, I’ve been pouring out our texts to each other. Laugh and cry then laugh again. I will keep it forever. I found a text he sent me out of nowhere one day. It says it all.”
His touching message concluded, “Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and not in any pain. I talk to you everyday… sometimes I can almost hear you say “could you get any crazier?” Rest sister. You always make my day…”
