Lacey Holsworth, friend of MSU's Adreian Payne, has died.

Lacey Holsworth, the 8-year-old cancer patient who lived up to her Twitter name @adorablelacey, has died, according to her family. Holsworth became friends with Michigan State's Adreian Payne and accompanied him throughout the Spartans' run to the Big Ten championship and the NCAA tournament.

Holsworth suffered from neuroblastoma, cancer discovered in 2011 after she suffered pain while dancing. Doctors found tumors on her kidney and spine severe enough to restrict her movement. During their many public appearances together, Payne would often carry Holsworth, including a trip up the ladder to cut down the nets after Michigan State's Big Ten championship victory.

That breaks my heart. Love and prayers to her family, and to Payne. I am happy that she got to experience something special in her short life.
