Editor’s note: This letter was written in honor of former MSU football player Nick Bell, who passed away Nov. 2, 2010 after battling cancer.
Dear MSU Students,
Dan and I want to personally thank you for supporting the Nick Bell 3.6 Mile Run this Homecoming week. To Rhett Hobart and the Student Association, thank you for creating this vision.
Nick was a champion not just on the field, but in every aspect of his life. We are so thankful Nick was able to live his dream of playing football in the Southeastern Conference. We are even more thankful he was a part of our family. Nick was a leader, a competitor and someone that made you better just because you were around him. His dynamic personality and heart made him a friend to all. Take a look at pictures of Nick and you’ll never see brighter eyes or a bigger smile. Quite simply, Nick is irreplaceable.
We hope you never forget this special Bulldog. Please support Nick’s aspirations of helping to make young people successful in life by supporting the Nick Bell Mentoring Memorial Foundation created by his dear mom, Linda. Nick can still make a difference in people’s lives. Put on your sneakers and let’s go, Bulldogs!
In remembrance of Nick,
Megan and Dan Mullen
