Alex Vesia and his wife, Kayla Vesia, are still grieving the death of their baby daughter. “Here I am at the six-month mark since losing my daughter, Sterling,” Kayla, 30, said in a Friday, May 1, video shared via TikTok. “Honestly, it’s very hard to wrap my head around the fact that we are at the six-month mark.
