I am very sad to learn of Dr. Kotha's death. As the local crisis hotline's director, I referred a great many people to her for care over the years. I want to say special condolences to Sudha -- I remember you fondly from when you volunteered at Reachout when you were still in high school or possibly the Clarkson School. So sorry for the loss of your mother!
