I’m raising funds in memory of my friend and tennis teammate, Susan BARRATO. Susan lost her life last week, and her passing was tragic and completely unexpected. Our tennis team is deeply saddened by this loss, and we want to honor Susan in a way that reflects a space she truly loved. We also want her daughter husband and most cherished grandson to have a special place to visit that will bring them peace and tranquility.

With the help of our community, we hope to place a plaque with Susan’s name on the garden feature Deer Chaser at Morikami Museum in Delray Beach, one of Susan’s favorite places. This memorial would give those who knew and loved Susan a peaceful place to remember her.

The funds from this fundraiser will go toward having the plaque made and placed on Deer Chaser. We are hoping to raise at least $15,000 to make this tribute possible.

I don’t want to share details of what happened, but please know this loss has been heartbreaking for all of us who knew Susan. If you are able, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser to help us create a lasting memorial in Susan’s honor. Thank you for helping us remember her.
