    Ashley,
    There are no words to express how saddened we are. You have been such a huge part of our family from the day you and Janelle became friends. I still laugh when I think about the time I walked into Janelle’s room only to find the two of you sitting on the floor laughing while wearing a strip of material around your heads from the blankets you were making (skeleton blankets of course). I have so many happy memories that I will treasure forever.
    You were more than a friend to Janelle, you were family. We are so thankful to have had you in our lives. I will miss our talks, laughter and your beautiful smile. You were taken much too soon. May you rest in peace.
    We Love and Miss You,
    Kenny and Cindy

    You are forever in my heart Ashley.
    During the ten years that we knew one another we shared many happy times and conversations about your absolute love for all things “Halloween”, as well as your July 18th birthday which you shared with my eldest son.
    We laughed,complained,and cried together–everything that creates a bond with a special person .
    You deeply touched ” MY” life as I am
    absolutely certain you touched many others.
    It is so difficult to know that I will no longer see that smiling face of yours again and that is, and will always be , a hugh loss .
    I loved knowing you and am so proud to have had the privilege of saying that.
    So long sweet girl.
    Where ever you are now, I am certain that you are making a friend and making everyone laugh.

Send your condolences.

To all our families, friends, and residents of Revere, East Boston, and surrounding communities of the North Shore,

We would like to announce that after 37 years of caring for thousands of families at our 773 Broadway location, on January 31st, 2023 we will be officially RELOCATING, to our new location at 262 Beach St., Revere.
On September 30th, 2022, we proudly purchased the Vazza “Beechwood” Funeral Home – DiPietro and Vazza, Inc. A name that has served families for 102 years. We feel blessed that with all of the interest, the Vazza Family chose us to carry on their century old business and family name. We will become Vertuccio Smith & Vazza, Beechwood Home for Funerals. We will continue to honor the Vazza name and continue our commitment the same way that we always have. We also look forward to having both Louis Vazza and Jessica Vazza Ferragamo alongside of us, as we come together as one.
Our reputation has always been our biggest asset. For many years people always wanted us to have a larger facility, now our facility is the largest funeral home in the area. We will be making many beautiful upgrades to allow our families to have the most elegant facility to honor their loved one.
Although this announcement is bittersweet, as we say goodbye to our home, we are forever grateful for all of you for placing your constant faith and trust in us to care for your loved one. We will continue to do what we are best known for.
Thank you for your friendship and continued support.
God bless you all.
