    Dear Auntie Barbara,
    I am terribly sorry I never knew this, I still send my Christmas Card every year. We always had so much fun with you guys growing up I have our sleep overs on film. You and all my aunties, uncles and cousins meant the world to me! After all how many families have 45 FIRST cousins and 16 double cousins!! I remember every single one and when I was blessed with my only baby you made him a gorgeous sweater, he is now 33 and I have that sweater still, some things can never go, it was also my only gift. Only you are so kind. If any cousins ever want to be in touch I’m in Milton, with a cell and house phone that we use regularly. I love you and our life together! Debbie Sharpe

    Very saddened to have belatedly found out of Barbara’s passing. Words just could not explain how much Peace and Love I felt when around the Pineau family. I’m sure Barbara has found that same feeling now in God’s prescence. Sincerest condolences, Danny (and Aleta) Sordello.

Love to all of you. Auntie Barbara is now in heaven safe, free and at peace. I will miss her till I die. Judy

    There are no words to express how sorry we are. I spent a lot off time with all of you growing up. I remember how kind Auntie Barbara was letting me sleep over as a kid. I remember how she glowed when she talked about her Church and GOD. Peace to all. Linda

    My Auntie Barbara

    She was a woman of great intergrity;
    her soul filled with abundant strength.
    Through God’s Grace she stood tall-
    against all that life cast her way,
    And now at last she’ll be at peace:
    for her pain has gone away.

    I loved you Auntie Barbara.
    You were an inspiration to me.
    And although I never visited you;
    I envisioned you, you see.

    With Love-Your Neice Susan Sheldon Roy

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.
