I have known Neha's father since my school days. He was my senior. Neha's Aunts ( Anju and Vidhu ) are good friends, and often visited her grandparents ( Mr. Om and Mrs Indira Bhatia's) home in New Delhi India. It is indeed a very sad news. Me and my sisters ( Padma and Uma) offer our condolences to Pankaj Bhaiyya and other family members. Rama ( Padma& Uma sister)

Neha was one of my teammates at UMass Lowell cross-country. I will always remember her one of the hardest workers I know and a very sweet girl. She was also in my physics class and always was willing to help me study and explain material to me, when I was struggling. I am very thankful for getting to know her and am inspired by how she didn't let anything get in the way of accomplishing her goals. So sad to hear of this.
