Adelaide passed away on Oct. 12, just a few short days before her fourth birthday, and spent nearly her entire life battling seizures no one can still quite explain.
“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,” the statement continued. “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.”
That same day, Kelly shared a heartbreaking, black-and-white photo of her late daughter’s bedroom with her stuffed animals lined up neatly on her bed in a row.
“Finally, she is free from pain, reactions, and seizures but leaves our hearts shattered,” Kelly added. “We love you so much Adelaide bug and forever after.”
“Dear everyone,” Miguelwrote in a tweet. “Just wanted to let you know that Kelly, Jackson and I are doing ok. We are comforted knowing there are so many people sending positive vibes. We are seeing all of it and thanks. We will be celebrating her life and legacy soon.”
The service was held on Oct. 20, three days after Adelaide’s 4th birthday, at the Harold Washington Public Library in Chicago, where all of Adelaide’s loved ones gathered to remember the toddler.
“I think she’s dancing and smiling right now,” he added through his tears.
