    Debbie and Lisa,

    I am sorry to hear of Tony’s passing. I’ll remember all of the fun times we had on Caruso St. Who could forget the airhorn and of course the fun trip to Disney?
    Thinking of you both at this time.

    I was very sad to hear of the loss of Mr. Zaccaria. I had him for Computer Business Applications my senior year and I still use some of the things he taught us and remember learning it in his class.

    Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

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.
