Delaney Brown dies on Christmas Day

Delaney Brown – the terminally ill girl who received support from thousands of Christmas carolers outside her home over the weekend – died early on Christmas morning, her family said.

On December 21st, thousands gathered outside Delaney Brown’s home in eastern Pennsylvania to fulfill her wish for a huge holiday singalong.

Delaney Brown, 8, of West Reading “passed away quietly with her loving family by her side”, family spokesman Christopher Winters said in a statement Wednesday.

Last Saturday night, the crowd cycled through holiday favorites such as Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer and Jingle Bells and ended with a chorus of Happy Birthday to the girl, who turned 8 on Friday, The Reading Eagle reported.

Shortly after the caroling began, the family’s Facebook page showed a picture of Delaney Brown giving two thumbs up with the text: “I can hear you now!!! Love you!”

Delaney Brown – whose nickname was Laney, – was diagnosed in May with a rare form of leukemia. The community held fundraisers to defray the cost of her medical expenses.

An update posted on Christmas Day on the “Team Laney” Facebook page said: “My heart breaks right now. Our little angel on earth earned her pink glittery angel wings in heaven. She took her last breath at home in her bed at 3:10 surrounded by all her family and friends. I miss her so much already.”

“Laney was a wonderful, kind, and loving child, who brought so much joy to our lives,” the family said.

“Even as her illness progressed, Laney never stopped having faith, she continued to smile in spite of her pain, and she showed more concern for all of us than for herself.”
