    Dear Anita Maggarett,

    I hope you will accept my deepest condolences on the losses of both of your brothers within the last month. I knew Roger well, having worked with him for years to take care of his health at his homes in Revere. As with many of my patients, and Roger Scales more than most, I believe I learned as much from him as he did from me. He was an important person to me and I will miss him. I wish you and your family well in this time of extraordinary grief and loss.

    Alan Ringel

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.
