"Mama, I'm Home"
Mothers are very special people and “mama” or “mamaw” is an endearing sound to hear as a woman. Rose Fisher’s daughter, Denise, would call out “mamaw, I’m here” as a toddler, inspiring the title of a song on Rose’s newly released album.
“When my daughter was born, it seemed like my mother had a rebirth. She just came alive when she was with Denise. When we would drive to my mother’s house, my daughter would jump out of the car and run to Mom’s door and yell as loud as she could, ‘Mamaw, I’m here!’ My mother’s eyes would sparkle with joy as soon as she saw little Denise. These precious moments and Mom’s incredible love for my daughters and all of her grandchildren sparked something inside of me that created a very special song called, ‘Mama, I’m Home,’” she said. “Most people can remember coming home from school knowing that their mama was going to be home to greet them and listen to their day. I can always call and talk with my mom. The bond is so very special between a mother and child. I wrote the song from the standpoint that whatever’s going on, good, bad or indifferent, most of us want to talk to Mom about it,” she continued.

For the last 18 years, Angela “Angie” Hamilton, Senior Director of the Treatment Foster Care and Community Based Services in West Virginia and Virginia, has had a huge role to fill. But, she does it with all the skill and care a special mother would give to her own children.
In this issue, we wish to applaud Angie and her entire team in West Virginia for providing all the love, care and support they have for troubled children. As Pressley Ridge celebrates Foster Care Month and we celebrate Mother’s Day, it is quite fitting to extend our grateful thanks and appreciation.

Obstetrician is New Mom
When Dr. Lisa Casalenuovo says to her patients who are mothers-to-be that she understands what they are feeling, she really means it. Dr. Casalenuovo is a new mom herself. Her daughter, Lauren Elizabeth, was born on March 8, 2008. Little Lauren is Dr. Casalenuovo’s first child.
“I had planned on a natural birth, but when my baby was in distress, my only option was to have my labor induced to safeguard the health of my little girl,” she said.
“I always tell my patients that every person’s experience during pregnancy and delivery is different and no matter how many children you have had, each pregnancy is different,” she added.

Twisted Sisters
Since November 2001, two sisters have created a wonderful store in Marietta, Ohio that is called “Twisted Sisters”. The unique boutique created by Debbie Cline and Becky Pritchett has many specialty products that are hard to find.
Both sisters are originally from Marietta, Ohio and both worked separately in different types of retail throughout their lives.
In the early fall of 2001, the sisters had the idea to sell air chairs at festivals and fairs. They had been so successful that when winter approached, they wanted to continue selling, but wanted to be indoors, of course.
They approached a local Marietta business owner about renting some space in Putnam Commons, a small mall like office complex in Marietta.
They got the ‘green light’ to go ahead with their retail business indoors and began adding many different and unique products.
