Tina Marie Johnson Woods

Daniel Woods and his (left) wife, Tina M.J. Woods Tina M.J.Woods, 42. Tina Marie Johnson Woods, 42, of Roanoke and Lynchburg, died Tuesday, December 18, 2012, at her home. Tina Marie is survived by her loving husband of 22 years, Daniel Curtis Woods; her sons, Nathaniel Woods, Samuel Woods and Jonathan Woods; her father, Les Johnson and wife, Libby; her stepfather, Frederick Wells Sr.; her sisters, Bethany Miller and Stacey Torrence; her brother, Steven Wells Jr. A funeral service will be held at Oakey’s South Chapel, 2 p.m. Saturday, December 22, 2012, with Pastor Aaron Reed officiating. Interment in the Guthrie Family Cemetery, Franklin County. The family will receive friends from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, December 21, 2012, at Oakey’s South Chapel.  I am very sorry for getting information about Tina Woods for the update but you can comment to comfort for Daniel here or his facebook message better than post on his facebook in public. It would be more less and thoughts of the loss with his lost love. Tina's age was very young and enough time, and enough years. But in shortly we are shocked about her gone.  Tina was very happy that she became a christian. She loved to go the Church with her friends. And must proud of three sons, Nathaniel, Samuel, and Jonathan- and her husband, Daniel, for 22 years.  Tina would be missed.  Be remembered.  the Deaf Blogger of Deaf Virginians Cardinals.  Lily

Memorial of Mr. Ralph Kiser

Ralph Kiser

Hello anyone all kiddos and elders VSDB,
My bad- I didn't make to go VSDB this week to see Ralph Kiser's Day at the his new dormitory name "Kiser Hall"
I really DO remember what I told him, "I dreamed that you will be the name of new dormitory...But you will be." He laughed and told, Oh Silly Lily! You will be same will be named, too." I again told  him "You will."
He was chucked.
I bet he is still around in the new dormitory and will curious new rooms to see in his own spirit. . I bet he will have to protect his dormitory for the boys.

I am sure he will. 

Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Kiser

Since Mr. Kiser lost his beloved wife, Mary. she was my houseparent at the Bass Hall, she was not so bad but good person to us girls. She followed up with Mr. Kiser as same dormitory supervisors. We loved her so much as Mr Kiser, too. 

We are happy now that all of Staff of VSDB made good decision to choose Mr Kiser to be honored as "Kiser Hall" for the boys dormitory. 

Thank you, Nancy and all staff and employers for chose him to be named.
