Dear Switalla Family,
Lifting you up in prayer during this difficult time...
Merv's influence has been felt "across the globe."
Meeting the Switallas has been one of our greatest pleasures! That is a direct reflection of Merv & Marg's positive influence. You will be greatly missed, but your legacy will live on.
With deepest sympathy,
Kevin, Beth Rafferty and Family

RIP uncle Merv you will be truly missed by so so many - that quick witted humour (that most of the time it took me ages to get the punch line haha), Your never-ending work ethic and your truly humbling, placid and kind nature. You were one in a million one and I will cherish so many wonderful memories of you forever. Much love to my wonderful Aunty Marg and the rest of the family at this sad time. "bee-da-bop" xxx
