“Thank you [Adam Sandler] for honoring Cam’s legacy in Happy Gilmore 2,” she wrote alongside a golf emoji, an angel wing emoji and a purple heart emoji.

She also included a screenshot of the scene in question, which comes when Sandler’s titular character approaches a check-in booth before starting a round of golf.

Eagle-eyed viewers can see that the clerk is watching the Disney Channel show “Jessie” on a small TV on the desk. Cameron starred in “Jessie” from 2011 to 2015 as the character Luke Ross.

Libby previously shared an article about the scene via Instagram on Sunday.

“Adam and Cameron talked quite a bit in the days leading up to his death,” Libby began. “Cameron was supposed to be in Hubie Halloween and they were strategizing.”

“They had a bond I think related to being authentic, funny and just keeping it real,” she added. “Adam always finds a way to keep Cams memory alive which warms our heart.”

Years before his death, Cameron and the “Billy Madison” comedian first starred together as father-and-son duo Lenny and Keithie Feder in Sandler’s 2010 comedy “Grown Ups.” They later reunited for the movie’s 2013 sequel.

Sandler was one of the first to pay tribute to Cameron after his death.

“Too young. Too sweet. Too funny,” he wrote on social media at the time. “Just the nicest, most talented, and most decent kid around. Loved that kid. Cared so much about his family. Cared so much about the world.”

“Thank you, Cameron, for all you gave to us. So much more was on the way. All our hearts are broken,” Sandler continued at the time. “Thinking of your amazing family and sending our deepest condolences.”

The “Big Daddy” star also paid tribute to Cameron during the credits of his 2020 Netflix movie, “Hubie Halloween.”

“In loving memory of Cameron Boyce,” the screen reads. “Gone way too soon and one of the kindest, coolest, funniest, and most talented kids we knew. You live on forever in our hearts and are truly missed every day.”

Cameron made a name for himself in Disney’s popular “Descendants” franchise.

Playing Carlos, the son of Cruella de Vil, Cameron appeared in “Descendants” (2015), “Descendants 2” (2017) and “Descendants 3” (2019).

The third film in the hit franchise was released less than one month after Cameron’s death. It was dedicated to his memory.

In May, many of Cameron’s other former co-stars took to social media to remember the late actor on what would have been his 26th birthday. Earlier this month also marked the sixth anniversary of his death.

“I still feel you all the time. Catch you in the next life,” Dove Cameron, who starred in “Descendants” with Cameron, wrote via Instagram on May 28. “Happy birthday. I love you.”

“Our Angel,” actress Sofia Carson wrote on July 6. “Forever.”
