00:19 On Nov. 15, Lisa shares a throwback photo of herself with Matthew and pens this memory of their bond.

00:36 Then you suggested we play poker and made it so much fun while we initially bonded. Thank you for that."
00:44 The actress continues expressing her gratitude for the actor, writing,
00:48 "Thank you for making me laugh so hard at something you said that my muscles ached and tears poured down my face every day.
00:57 Thank you for your open heart in a six-way relationship that required compromise and a lot of talking."
01:05 Referencing the star's addiction battle, Lisa says, "Thank you for showing up at work when you weren't well and then being completely brilliant."
01:14 She ends her message, "Thank you for the best 10 years a person gets to have.
01:20 Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for all I learned about grace and love through knowing you.
01:26 Thank you for the time I got to have with you, Matthew."
01:30 The actress is the fifth Friends co-star to break their silence on Perry's unexpected death on Oct. 28 at the age of 54.
01:39 Over a matter of hours, the cast has taken to Instagram with a flurry of meaningful messages,

01:50 including this emotional one that Jennifer Aniston posted from the Friends finale in 2004.
01:57 "Oh, honey. Let me just say something, because once we get into this, I'm going to get all uncomfortable and probably make some stupid joke.
02:08 I just want to say that I love you and I'm going to miss you and I'm so sad that you're leaving."
02:21 "Oh, you know what? Let's not say anything else. I love you."
