Finally, she is free from pain and seizures, but leaves our hearts shattered,” Cervantes said. “We love you so much Adeliadeybug and forever after,” reports NBCCHICAGO.

Miguel Cervantes may be most widely known for his starring role in Chicago’s production of the hit Broadway musical “Hamilton,” but he and his family have emerged off the stage as some of the most vocal and passionate advocates for raising both awareness and funds for epilepsy research.
