An 8-year-old Pennsylvania girl, whose battle against a rare form of leukemia became a social media sensation that inspired thousands of people to gather and sing her Christmas carols, has succumbed to her disease, her family announced on Wednesday.
Delaney Brown of West Reading passed away quietly with her loving family by her side, family spokesman Christopher Winters said in a statement posted Wednesday on Facebook.
Known by her nickname, Laney, the child was a second-grader at Wyomissing Hills Elementary School. She was diagnosed in May with a rare form of leukemia and received five rounds of radiation therapy, then a stem cell transplant in September.
Her condition took a turn for the worse last week, and doctors told her parents, Jennifer and Jeremiah Brown, that the girl had just days or weeks to live.
Laneys plight went viral, mainly because of a Facebook page known as Team Laney, which has drawn more than 120,000 likes.
On Saturday night, as many as 10,000 people gathered outside her home in eastern Pennsylvania to fulfill her wish for a huge holiday singalong. The crowd sang such favorites as Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Jingle Bells, ending with a chorus of "Happy Birthday" to the girl, who had turned 8 the day before, according to the Reading Eagle.
My heart goes out to her loved ones.
