Two years ago, a bright light dimmed at CBS News New York, when our beloved colleague Elise Finch suddenly died​.

Elise Finch honored as beloved daughter of Mount Vernon. Elise's husband – CBS News New York photographer Graig Henriques – and their daughter, Gracie, were among those accepting the honors.

It's a tough day at CBS News New York as we mark two years since our Elise Finch passed away. She was a part of our CBS family since 2007 when she joined our team as a meteorologist.

Elise Finch — daughter of Mount Vernon, who brought joy, love and great weather wherever she went, and who's in in our Hall of Fame and forever in our hearts.
