Rhys, who would have turned 12 a month after his death, had just left Broad Square Primary School on
the Norris Green housing estate, and was due to start secondary school at Fazakerley High School in
September 2007.

Rhys Jones was known to be a boy who was eager to learn everything and anything.
His headteacher and neighbours said that Rhys was a friendly, popular boy, and mad about football.

Rhys, who played for The Fir Tree Boys football club, was on his way home from football practice
with two friends. As he was crossing the Fir Tree pub car park, on Fir Tree Drive South in the
Croxteth Park estate, Liverpool, a hooded youth riding a silver mountain bike approached. He then
held out a handgun at arm's length firing three shots. It was originally believed that one of the
shots hit Rhys in the neck.

However, during the trial the pathologist revealed the bullet had entered his back "slightly above
the left shoulder blade" and that it had then "exited from the front right side of his neck". The
shooting occurred in daylight at 7.30 pm BST.

Rhys's mother rushed to the scene when she heard what had happened.By the time his mother had
reached him, Rhys was unconscious. Paramedics tried for one and a half hours to resuscitate him, but
he was pronounced dead some time later in Liverpool's Alder Hey Children's Hospital.

A MOTHERS LOVE
I didn't have to look into your eyes
to fall in love with you,
I didn't have to hear you cry
to know you loved me too,
I didn't need to hold your hand
to cherish you always,
Within my womb we shared our hearts.
You touched my soul,
You sweetened my spirit,
You gave me memories i will always hold so very dear.
Yes my heart aches since you departed so soon,
But a mothers love does not end with death,
For you are my child,
My love is forever yours.
Good Morning Beautiful Angel Rhys

♥ We Remember Them ♥
♥ In the rising of the sun and its going down
♥ We remember them…
♥ In the glowing of the wind and the chill of winter
♥ We remember them...
♥ In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring
♥ We remember them…
♥ In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer
♥ We remember them…
♥ In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn
♥ We remember them…
♥ In the beginning of the year and when it ends
♥ We remember them….
♥ When we are weary and in need of strength
♥ We remember them...
♥ We remember them
♥ When we have joys we yearn to share…
♥ We remember them
♥ So long as we live, they too shall live…
♥ For they are now a part of us as
♥ We remember them…

On angel wings you do fly
On angel wings into the sky
On angel wings i do cry
Because those angel wings took you away
On angel wings the heralds sing
Is there no such lovely thing?
On angel wings you fly away.
I will see these angel wings again someday
When i am old and my time has come
On angel wings I will fly
Until I'm holding you once again
Smiling on angel wings.

Love always mandy.xxxx.

How We Survive
If we are fortunate
we are given a warning
If not
there is only the sudden horror
the wrench of being torn apart
of being reminded
that nothing is permanent
not even the ones we love
the ones our lives revolve around
*~♥x♥~
Life is a fragile affair
We are all dancing
on the edge of a precipice
a dizzying cliff so high
we can't see the bottom
One by one
we lose those we love most
into the dark ravine
*~♥x♥~
So we must cherish them
without reservation.
Now
Today
This minute
We will lose them
or they will lose us
someday
This is certain
There is no time for bickering
And their loss
will leave a great pit in our hearts
a pit we struggle to avoid
during the day
and fall into at night
*~♥x♥~
Some
unable to accept this loss
unable to determine
the worth of life without them
jump into that black pit
spiritually or physically
hoping to find them there
*~♥x♥~
And some survive
the shock
the denial
the horror
the bargaining
the barren, empty aching
the unanswered prayers
the sleepless nights
when their breath is crushed
under the weight of silence
and all that it means
*~♥x♥~
Somehow, some survive all that and
like a flower opening after a storm
they slowly begin to remember
the one they lost
in a different way...
*~♥x♥~
The laughter
the irrepressible spirit
the generous heart
the way their smile made them feel
the encouragement they gave
even as their own dreams were dying
*~♥x♥~
And in time, they fill the pit
with other memories
the only memories that really matter
We will still cry
We will always cry
But with loving reflection
more than hopeless longing
*~♥x♥~
And that is how we survive
That is how the story should end
That is how they would want it to be
♥ Mark Rickerby ♥
♥ Love ♥ Always ♥ Mary xxxx ♥

One gift, above all others,
God gives to us to treasure--
One that knows no time, no place;
One that gold can't measure—
~♥x♥~
The precious, poignant, tender gift
of Memory--for it keeps
Our dear ones ever in our hearts,
Though they have gone to sleep.
~♥x♥~
It brings back long remembered things--
A song, a word, a smile--
And the world's a better place because
We had them for a while!
