    Anna, Brenda, Maureen, Rebecca, and Beverly,
    I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She was so close to our family that we always referred to her as Aunt Gloria. I remember stopping off at her house after school (e. Boston) and when she moved next to Auntie Anna’s house in Revere, it was nice to visit both my loved aunts. I will treasure the memories of her and hold them in my heart. There are no words to express my saddness. May God’s loving arms surround and comfort you through this sorrowful time.
    Much Love and my depest condolences,
    Deborah
    (Sandy Reynold’s daughter)

    Dear Anna, Brenda and girls:

    Your Mom and My Mom were best of friends. We grew up in the Maverick St Projects. Your Mom pierced my ears when I was 8 years old and you lived on Harve St. Your Aunt lived upstairs. We used to go on Sunday picnics when our Dads were home from the Navy. I hope you remember. My family and I would like to express our deepest sympathy. We will miss your Mother.

    Sincerely,
    Sandy Reynolds and Family
    Linda, Patricia and Deborah

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.
