On Monday, Steph Curry’s grandmother (Candy Adams) passed away.
His mother (Sonya) made the announcement (via Instagram).
She wrote: “Heaven gained an angel, and we lost our heart.
Today we say goodbye to our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. A woman who taught us to love fiercely, laugh often, and keep family at the center of everything.
Her love lives on in every hug we give, every story we tell, and every lesson she left us with.
As Luther said, “A house is not a home when there’s no one there to hold you tight.” You were our home and now your love lives in all of us.
Rest easy now, we’ll carry you with us, always. ❤️ I love you Mommy”
Many fans sent love to the Curry family (h/t @namxsj).
