    Jessica, I am so sorry about the loss of your mother. She was a dear friend of mine for many many years. Since our days at Grover Manor, a wonderful friendship was born. We had so much fun in our youth.
    The best thing that ever happened to her was your father and you. She loved you so much and you was so proud of you. You were her light and right to the end always shining.
    I love you and share in your sorrow.
    She was a great friend, a loving mother and a wonderful nurse.
    I will never forget her.
    All my love,
    Carolyn

    Dear Jessica,

    I’m so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I worked with your mother at Grover Manor Hospital and never met a sweeter, kinder, and more compassionate person. I always looked forward to having a friendly conversation with her and observing her comely smile whenever she was in my presence. Your mother was an exceptional nurse. She always performed her nursing duties with impeccable excellence. More importantly, your mother would always leave her patient with a smile on their faces. I cannot begin to tell you how special she was to be able to do such a thing. I will always cherish the times I shared with your mother at the hospital. What we have once enjoyed deeply about your mother can never be lost. All that we loved about your mother shall become part of us.

    I think your mother’s greatest legacy will be you. I know you are destined to do amazing things in the future because your mother gave you these unique qualities. Your mother might not be with you physically but her spirit will always be with you for eternity. I am wishing you peace and comfort as you face this very sad time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wonderful family.

    Sincerely,
    Gerald Cifuni

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.
