We’re still in the midst of rewatching all our favorite Nora Ephron films—Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally, Julie & Julia, Silkwood—in honor of the writer and director’s life, which ended Tuesday at the age of 71 after her fight with cancer.

Celebrities are remembering Ephron, too, taking to Twitter to offer their condolences. The website Jezebel rounded up some of the many tweets. Here’s a sample:

Steve Martin: She was the one you wanted to read, to listen to, to be in the company of. Nora Ephron. Incomparable wit; delightful friend. Sadness reigns.

Jane Lynch: Nora, when I think of you I will remember perfectly scrambled eggs, Central Park and what I was wearing the moment I learned you were gone.

Ellen DeGeneres: Nora Ephron was a brilliant filmmaker. She did as much for women as she did for films. I miss her already.

Bette Midler: Nora Ephron. The Hostess with the Mostest on the Ball. A brilliant soul, and we will all miss her so . . .

Judy Blume: Nora Ephron. How could you die? You were the smartest, funniest, most talented person ever and I wanted to be your friend. Too sad.

Nancy Pelosi: We will all miss the brilliance & genius of Nora Ephron, a pioneer who challenged all women to break the rules. #Legend

Christina Applegate: If a Nora Ephron movie is on, I always stop and watch. Her movies were like comfort food for the soul. We will miss her.
