    Dear Susan,

    We are so sorry for the sudden loss of your dear mother. I’ll be writing you a real letter soon, but want you to know that you have our deepest condolences.
    Auntie Gloria and I both loved the sand sculptures at the beach. I still have the news clippings she sent. I’m glad at least she is with your dad and Paul. I know much she missed them.

    Love and hugs, Patti and Steve Eingorn

    I’m sure you know how much I liked your mother and the times we hung out at your house. She was a genuinely kind and gentle lady who always made me feel welcome in her home. I know how difficult this must be for you this being the secon tragic loss that you have had to endure. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Harry as you work through the grief. Be assured that if there is a heaven she is sitting there next to your dad and brother watching over you I am really sad for my long time friend and will miss your Mom

    My heart felt condolences

    Billy

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.
