TAYLOR BRENDA - Ruocco, Brenda J. ("B")
June 2, 1950 - November 10, 2007
A tribute written by Brenda's family;
I have left my physical being to join my father William H. Taylor and
my mother Bertha B. Taylor, for whom I did not have a chance to grieve
for. I am survived by my loving husband, friend and companion Richard (Dick)
Ruocco of 38 years; my daughter Kim Buono and my granddaughter Taylor Buono
(whom will always be my "babies"), my sisters Sandra McCann, Judith Taylor
(Richard Mickle), Paula Converse; my sister-in-law Carol English (Bernard)
of FL and my loving nieces and nephews whom have made my journey easier
to bear, Victoria Daniels (Kate Merrill), Valerie Daniels, Erik Daniels
(Sally), Richard Daniels (Jessica), Jason Taylor (Christina), and my great
nieces and nephews. I would like to say farewell to my second family, James
Madell (Barb) who gave me more than you'll ever know and to everyone in
the packaging industry, you know who you are. I wish to thank the nursing
staff of the sixth floor at Strong Memorial Hospital for the great comfort
and care that you had given me; and especially Dr. Bernstein and Dr. Sul
who never gave up, may the "soul" of the floor live on. I would also like
to thank Hospice, especially Debbie Jaynes who had given me more time to
be with my loving family. I know that God has a plan for me, but I would
like to borrow a quote from my favorite T-Shirt, "Cancer Sucks". Family
and friends will be received at Caywood's Funeral Home & Gardens, 1126
Broadway, Southport, on Wednesday, November 14, 2007, between the hours
of 1-3 and 5-7 p.m. A memorial service will follow at 7:15 p.m. Brenda's
