She also thanked him for a host of other things, including "for making me laugh so hard."
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," she added.
Kudrow portrayed the role of Pheobe Buffay, a friend of Chandler in the show 'Friends'.
Earlier on Wednesday, 'Friends' actors Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer also paid tributes to Perry.
Perry was Friends' droll wingman-turned-leading man 'Chandler Bing' for 10 years, delivering a pitch-perfect comedic performance that garnered him an Emmy nomination in 2002.
Perry passed away on October 28 at his residence in the Los Angeles area. He was 54.
