Photos: Michigan State Holding Memorial Service For Lacey Holsworth Inside Spartans’ Basketball Arena Tonight

This evening, Michigan State University will hold a public memorial service for Lacey Holsworth, the eight-year-old girl who captured the hearts of everyone she touched before losing her battle with cancer April 9. 

Lacey, who became close to Spartan star Adreian Payne, has had a clear effect on those in East Lansing. The night of her death, Michigan State students painted and signed a rock in her memory. Spartan men’s basketball coach Tom Izzo gave a speech, saying he’s “never been more proud” of his school. 

Tonight, the Breslin Center will be packed with thousands of people wanting to honor Lacey one more time.
