They had lived in Revere for about 4 years, until moving to Lynn in 1985. The girls had survived the Cambodian genocide of the late 1970s, suffered untold and horrific experiences and came here, became educated, and were alumnae of the Class of 1990, University of Massachusetts, with a B.A. & Master’s degree in education. Jennifer taught for 24 years, at the Alexander Hamilton School of Brighton, teaching reading, English, French and Cambodian. She was beloved and respected not only by her fellow teachers, but by her many, many students. They had been active members of the First Congregational Church of Revere and were treasured and respected by all members and Pastor Nicholas G. Granitsas. She was also the daughter of the late Leang Hout Biv and Nay Kol, who perished during the genocide. Interment is private.

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.
