So sorry for your loss! I recently lost my favorite uncle, and I have not called my aunt yet because I can't talk when I cry and can't stop crying when I start. Darn emotional lability! Darn stroke!
I have been on that Hoover Dam Road many times. My husband and I have some properties and land in Prescott AZ. We will probably spend Thanksgiving there or gold prospecting near Yuma. I sure will miss decorating for Christmas as soon as the Turkey Day dishes are done!
