The Macedonia Baptist Church in Mount Vernon, New York livestreamed the services held Tuesday to say goodbye and pay tribute to CBS New York meteorologist Elise Finch, who died July 16 at the age of 51.
Finch died at a local hospital. A cause of death has not yet been determined, according to CBS New York.
An outpouring of support followed Finch's death as loved ones, fans and colleagues mourned her passing. The church's livestream on its Facebook page, which lasted roughly three hours, had over 800 comments and 4,500 views.
Her family, friends, Mount Vernon Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard and colleagues spoke during the services, recalling her love of music, nicknames and more.
Her sister Kiya shared a quote to remember Elise by, one they both kept on their phones: "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."
"Together each one of us here, was woven together in a tapestry of love by Elise," said Jasmine Bellamy, her daughter's godmother, during the service. "Every single one of us. And if you know Elise like you know me, she repped not just her city but everything she's a part of."
Before joining CBS, Finch reported on the "Early Today Show," MSNBC and NBC Weather Plus as a meteorologist. She started her broadcasting career coordinating special projects and live events for E! Entertainment Television.

Finch is survived by her daughter Grace and husband Graig Henriques, a photojournalist at WCBS.
