This morning, April 9, it was announced that Lacey Holsworth, the eight-year-old friend of Michigan State star Adreian Payne, passed away. She was suffering from neuroblastoma.

Tonight, nearly everyone associated with Michigan State University showed up on campus to pay their respects. A rock on campus was painted white with “MSU LOVES PRINCESS LACEY. Love Like Lacey,” written on it.

Several Michigan State basketball players and coach Tom Izzo showed up to sign the rock, along with thousands of others.
