Jennifer Aniston posted a heartfelt tribute to her longtime “Friends” director James Burrows, who died on Friday at 85 years old.

“Papa Burrows. The hardest thing about writing this is that you spent a lifetime making people feel loved, and now it feels impossible to put all of that love into a few paragraphs,” Aniston wrote on Instagram Saturday. “He called us his ‘kids’ — ‘Where are the kids?’
‘Let’s see if the kids can make the joke work.’ No pressure.”
