Jennifer Aniston is putting her grief into words as she wrote a touching note on noted TV writer Norman Lear's undying legacy after he passed away on Tuesday.

She posted with the pair's photo, "He made such a difference. A huge impact on television and humanity."

The Emmy winner credited the late author for venturing into divisive topics despite creating a name in comedy writing.

"He was able to tackle and discuss heated political conversations during difficult and charged times, and we were able to laugh and learn. I yearn for those days," she continued.

Jennifer noted, "When creativity was a learning tool and could inspire people to maybe think just a little bit differently. And, of course, to laugh. Our greatest source of healing."

Concluding the heartfelt note, the 54-year-old said, "May we take a page from Norman's playbook as a way of honoring his life. An extraordinary life. Rest in peace, Norman. It was a gift to stand in your light."

Norman Lear, popularly known for All in the Family, Maude, and The Jeffersons, breathed his last at 101.
