Hamiltonstar Miguel Cervantes is inviting the public to attend the celebration of life service for his late daughter Adelaide.
On Tuesday, Miguel, 42,shared a flyeron Twitter, announcing that Adelaide’s service will be held on Sunday, Oct. 20 at Harold Washington Chicago Public Library.
“All are welcome to attend in your most colorful attire,” the program reads.
The service begins at 10 a.m. and “seating capacity is limited.”

Adelaide died on Saturday, just a few short days before her fourth birthday. The young child spent nearly her entire life battling seizures that no one can still quite explain.
Adelaide’s story has been documented through the years on her mother Kelly Cervantes’ popular blogInchstonesand through the family’s work with the CURE, which raises funds for research into a cure for the devastating illness.
“She was held in the loving arms of her family as she peacefully achieves the ‘calm’ for which they’ve been searching for so long. They would like to extend their deepest, heartfelt gratitude to all who have reached out with words of support and prayer and will continue to feel all the love as they go through this difficult time.”
