By now, between the long-running Broadway show (14 years) and film (2008) and sequel this summer, everyone knows the storyline of Mamma Mia!. The plot has bride-to-be Sophie preparing for her wedding on the Greek island where her mom Donna runs a small inn.

What are signs and symptoms cancer?
Signs are things that can be seen, heard or at least detected by others relatively easily. Such examples would include weight loss, fever or labored breathing. Symptoms, on the other hand, are much more felt than they are detectable, and are up to the patient to voice concern over.

They’re disciplines that can make a tremendous difference in your mental outlook and physical condition.

I was privileged and honored to have spent time with Mayor Hogan, who recently passed away from cancer. Mayor Hogan was extremely generous with his time. He was Aurora’s champion. Mayor Hogan passed away May 13, 2018. My condolences to his family and the city of Aurora.
Interview with Mayor Steve Hogan
I was pleasantly surprised that the mayor came to greet me in the waiting area. I expected his assistant to retrieve me and bring me to the mayor’s office. However, Aurora’s mayor, which has 375,000 people, which used to be considered a suburb of Denver, is very hands on. During our 30 plus minute interview, he didn’t strike me as someone who depends on others to get the job done. [Read more…]
