    To Joyce and Liz, we are so sorry for the loss of your mom. Nothing in life is more precious than one’s mother and although there will be a void when she is gone, your love for her will always remain and keep you close. God bless your family, Tony and Denise

    So sorry for your loss. Audrey was an amazing lady, a wonderful dedicated employee for over 25 years. She never had a bad word for others, and, was a true friend of all of us at Great Northern Mfg. She was always our go to person when we had challenges or problems in her department, she seemed to handle all facets of her employment with ease. She is sorely missed and in our Hearts forever.

    To know OUR MOM you would know that she was an AMAZING woman, a VALIANT woman. My husband referred to her as an “ANGEL”.
    She was always an inspiration to all of us. She loved her family, starting with caring & loving OUR DAD for 60 years. No matter what life threw at her she took it & threw it back with a smile & a smirk. She was LOVING, CARING, FUNNY (in her own special way) & STOIC (in the best meaning of the word)….She was a “WARRIOR QUEEN”.
    She took the very best care of OUR DAD for so many years & never asked “WHY ME”, she did what needed to be done & never complained. We can all learn so many great life lessons from her. She was an ANCHOR to all those around her & a wonderful example of what TRUE LOVE & LOYALTY was.
    She LOVED her 5 grandchildren, who adored her & knew that she was always there for them, if they ever needed her. Then, her PRIDE & JOY, her 2 great grandchildren, JACE & MILES, who made her smile every time they walked up to her chair & said “I LOVE YOU, BIG NANA”.

    Rest now Mom, you will forever be in OUR HEARTS & there is peace now knowing that you are once again with DAD (he must be so happy).
    WE LOVE YOU WITH ALL OUR HEARTS….
    Thank you to everyone for all the warm thoughts, calls, flowers & LOVE!! XO

    Liz and Joyce –
    I am so sorry for the loss of your mom and my dear Godmother. She was a special lady. Always welcomed us into her home with open arms. Growing up she always remembered my birthday and always had a special gift for me at Christmas. I remember my mom loved spending time with Auntie Audrey and talking to her on the phone. Although I regret not reaching out to her when I thought of her recently, she will always have a special place in my heart.

    Love you both,

    Cousin Sandie

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.
Faithfully,

Your friends at Vertuccio Smith and Vazza.
