    There are no words… Only silence. Then suddenly I hear you tell a joke and then I think of Dix Street and how you always let me eat sugary cereal when I spent the night as a kid. I think about your red furniture and the matador picture and how cool I thought you were. And you were. You were and always will be the coolest, funniest most loving Aunt and Godmother a girl could have. How blessed our family is to have had you in our lives. You won’t be missed..you will forever be cherished. For now Auntie Joan ….. I’ll see you one day.

    Joanie, I miss everything about you already! I can hear your voice and your laugh while I’m writing this… your passing is going to leave the biggest hole in so many lives and the ONLY comfort I get out of this sadness is that you are now with Mikie and all that have gone before you including my mom who loved you so much. You 2 were wild and crazy! I love you joanie and you will always be one of my favorite relatives ♥️♥️♥️

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.
