Photos of the new baby girl were shared by parents of an inspiring boy, who touched millions of lives before succumbing to cancer at six years old.
Bradley Lowery’s little sister Gracie-Mae, who was born on November 6 at Sunderland Royal Hospital, was snapped in adorable photos by her parents, wearing a onesie that said: ‘Hand picked for Earth by my brother in heaven’.
Gemma Lowery posted a picture on Facebook that was shared yesterday. They called their daughter an “absolute dream”

The parents said that Gracie-Mae is now 8lb 9oz in weight and was two weeks old.
“She is a true dream. We couldn’t be more pleased right now.
She has seen so many changes since birth. Although we tried to take some photos in her vest, she decided that she wanted other shots.
“She’s camera shy, just like her older brother Kieran. Bradley loves his photos as much as Bradley.
They said that Gracie Mae would be going with her parents to the first Sunderland match, ‘as they host our Bradley Lowery Foundation Box for a beautiful family to enjoy and create memories.
Gemma Lowery and Carl Lowery referred to their baby girl as a ‘absolute dream’ in a post on Facebook.
Then they added, “Thanks to all who have sent me well wishes and cards. It is greatly appreciated.”
In May the couple announced their pregnancy by sharing a photo of the baby in clothes and the words “handpicked for Earth” alongside an ultrasound scan from GracieMae.
Gemma also posted the news on Facebook: “Hi everybody, just an update. We are so happy to meet our precious little princess.”

Although I didn’t have the most pleasant labor experience, it wasn’t the worst. Because her heart rate was dropping and her doctors needed to get her out, I had an emergency C Section.
“She is doing great and we are on our way back.
Carl and myself will be spending some quality time with our sweet princess.
Little Bradley was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called neuroblastoma, a condition mainly found babies and young children, when he was just 18 months old.
Gemma Lowery and Carl Lowery are now parents to their third child. Pictured: Bradley and Gemma Lowery with their son. Bradley was the victim of stage four neuroblastoma from 2015 to 2017.
In a social media post for The Bradley Lowery Foundation, Gemma wrote: ‘Baby Lowery number 3 on its way… Bradley is going to be the best guardian angel to his little brother or sister’
He served as a mascot to Sunderland FC, and he led England at Wembley with his hero Jermaine Defoe (ex-Black Cats striker) months before his tragic death.
The whole nation was moved by Bradley’s journey with cancer and the public raised more than £1.3million to send him to the United States for antibody treatment.
Bradley’s parents received word that Bradley had’months left to live’ as December 2016 was his last day.

Over the Christmas season, Bradley received thousands upon thousands of cards and well wishes from people all over the globe.
The Bradley Lowery Foundation supports research on rare childhood diseases as well as cancers.
Neuroblastoma is a form of neuroblastoma that develops in brain cells from the development of a baby in the womb. It affects approximately 100 children each year in the UK.
In collaboration with other research charities, the foundation has given more than £280,000 to research towards Neuroblastoma and Ewing Sarcoma.
