"A life well lived is a beautiful legacy."
Donna Louise Kolb Topp , age 72, passed away February 22, 2018 in Scottsdale, AZ after a long bout with cancer. Donna was born September 18, 1945 in Holland, MI. She was the daughter of the late Lawrence H Kolb and Leona Nystrom Kolb. Donna was a graduate of West Ottawa High School.
Donna and her husband Ken shared a passion for wildlife and were partners in their horse breeding business, Mystic Sands Arabians. Their horses were internationally renown and won several National Championships. Donna was a member of the International Arabian Horse Association, Arabian Horse Association of Arizona and a charter member of West Michigan Arabian Horse Association. Donna was also a director of Hazelbank United Interests Inc. Above all, Donna loved spending time with her family, lifelong friends, her dogs, and horses.

It is difficult to believe Donna's voice will no longer answer the phone or her laugh will no longer make me laugh. A life well lived but, never long enough. Donna will be missed by many of us. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Ken. My deepest Sympathy!
