Dana Hughey has taken leave from the CBS19 KYTX Tyler, Texas morning newscast where she is an anchor.
"SMILING to hold back the tears," Hughey posted on Facebook. "I will miss seeing these beautiful souls on the regular! Keeping the faith that is just #seeyalater!!!"
Hughey hopes it's just a "see you later" because the the "Morning Loop" and "The Noon Show" anchor is taking off to take care of her mother who is battling cancer.
The native East Texan and Texas A&M grad has worked for KTRE and KLTV too. She has been with KYTX since 2010.
In the below video, Hughey is reunited with her former co-anchor Bryan Houston. San Antonio viewers watch his son, Matt Houston on KENS 5.
