Michigan State basketball coach
Tom Izzo and some of his players joined hundreds of students on campus
Wednesday to paint a rock and fill it with messages to 8-year-old Lacey
Holsworth, who lost her fight with cancer this week.
The beautiful little girl became known as 'Princess Lacey' and developed a bond with MSU senior forward Adreian Payne,
who first met her two years ago during one of her hospital stays. She
suffered from neuroblastoma, a fetal-nerve cell cancer. They became like
brother and sister with Payne and his teammates including her in
numerous team activities.
Payne carried her around the
court last month during senior day and allowed her to participate in
cutting down the nets with the Spartans when they won the Big Ten
tournament.
Izzo spoke to a large group of Michigan State students at the rock memorial Wednesday night.
