Davy James Trattles

Friendship

I worked with Davy for many years at Mill Lane - he was unique - the perfect friend. Davy and I both have two daughters, we shared many stories of our experiences of teenage daughters their many demands, problems, disasters and our total pride, pleasure and joy in being a part of their lives.

One abiding memory I will always have of Davy - one day we had a visitor at Mill Lane, it came in through the back door and took up residence in the kitchen - the biggest longtail I had every seen - Davy immediately declared war on the creature for having the cheek to come into his building - he retreived an air rifle from the security cupboard (confiscated from a club member!)then with a mouthful of pellets he strode down the hall (looking a bit like John Wayne about to take on the Apache Nation) loading the rifle as he went - it didn't stand a chance - he pumped it with seven pellets before it gave up - nose to tail it measured about 22 ins - we called Davy 'Tex' for some time after that.

My dear friend Davy - thanks for looking out for my girls in the Bigg Market - thanks for your respect when my parents passed - thanks for your kind texts when I was ill - thanks for the many many laughs that made going to work such a pleasure - God bless you and keep you.............love Mary Mc.

Miss Me Then Let Me Go.

When I have come to the end of my road,
and the sun has set for me,
I want no rights in a gloom filled room,
why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low,
remember the love, we once shared,
miss me then let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take,
and each one must go alone,
its all a part of the masters plan,
a step on the road to home,

Bear your sorrow in doing good deeds,
Miss me then let me go.

Rest in peace Big Davie.

♥ Memories are the loveliest things ♥
♥ They last from day to day ♥
♥ They can’t get lost ♥
♥ They don’t wear out ♥
♥ And can’t be taken away ♥

I see tears fall down your face
When your thoughts have turned to me.
Just know that I’m in heaven,
With my Lord, who’s set me free.

No pain or sadness do I feel,
For God is by my side.
The beauty here in Heaven
Is now where I reside.

I know it’s hard for you to cope
For you can’t feel my touch.
But every moment, I can see
And love you very much.

When you are at your lowest
And feel you can’t go on,
Look towards the heavens
The light will be turned on.

Talk to me, just like you did
On earth when I was there.
You see, I’m not so far away …
Only as far as a prayer.

And when it’s time for you to join
Me up in Heaven above.
It’s then that you will realize,
The Golden Place of love.

For here there is no sadness,
Just everlasting light.
Someday we will be joined again,
When it’s time to take your flight.
