Dear Tracy, our deepest sympathy goes out to you for your loss. We can only imagine the emotional pain you must be going through right now; he was too young to go. Time is just too short with those you love sometimes.....hold onto your memories.

Condolences also to the rest of the Topping family, Don was a very special guy and will be sadly missed by many.
