It is with sadness in our hearts that we bid farewell to our once “up and coming” ATO Tennis star Isaiah Moreno. In her second year of GLTA tournament play at the ATO she was determined to capture championship doubles and singles titles in her division and did. Another player said, “she would’ve rocked the GLTA for decades”, and we strongly agree. Though her time with us was short, we keep with us the memories of her beautiful spirit, smile, Tennis grace, and the many moments of laughter and fun. Until we meet again on the tennis courts beyond, farewell Isaiah.
