Cameron Boyce's mom, Libby, has thanked Adam Sandler for helping keep her son's 'memory alive' with the 'Happy Gilmore 2' tribute, saying it 'warms our heart' in an Instagram post.

Adam Sandler has paid tribute to his late “Grown Ups” co-star with a thoughtful scene in “Happy Gilmore 2,” which premiered on Netflix on Friday.
