    Richard I just saw that your Mother had passed in January. I am so sorry to hear this. I worked for many years with Cindy at the Bank and we continued our friendship after that. She would join Mary Dowd and myself on some day trips to Maine to see Nubble Light which we all thoroughly enjoyed. I know how close you were to her and you will have many happy memories, and I am sure knowing your Mother
    some funny ones.

    Cindy lived at Ironwood On The Green in Middleton Ma. We met and joined a social group where I learned we both had attended Immaculate Conception High and were cheer leaders although I did not know her at the time. She added her great personality to the group and we enjoyed her so much. It was a great time! My sincere thoughts and prayers to her family. Ann Desmond

    Dear Richie and Michael,
    So sorry to learn of the passing of your Mom. She was always so nice and such a sense of humor! My Mom really enjoyed her. We will keep you and her in our prayers during these difficult days. I wish I could offer my condolences in person but because of the covid virus and my husband’s health status I can not attend.

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.
