Ailynn's sister wrote to Russell, according to his blog: "It's Ailynn's sister. Ailynn unfortunately died at 3:00 a.m. Thanks for always making her happy, we appreciate it."

Russell then shared a photo, together with Ciara and Ailynn.

“My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to my goddaughter, Ailynn, and her family, as she is now with our Heavenly Father. I know you’ll be swinging your 12 flag over Centurylink this Sunday sweetie.”
