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.

♥ If I be the first of us to die
♥ Let grief not blacken long your sky
♥ Be bold and modest in your grieving
♥ There is a change but not a leaving
♥ And just as death is part of life
♥ The dead live on forever in the living
♥ And all the gathered riches of our journey
♥ The moments shared
♥ The mysteries explored
♥ The steady layering of intimacy stored
♥ The things that make us laugh
♥ Or weep or sing
♥ The joy of sunlit snow
♥ Or first unfurling of the Spring
♥ The wordless language of look and touch
♥ The knowing
♥ Each giving and each taking
♥ These are not flowers that fade
♥ Nor trees that fall and crumble
♥ Nor are they stone
♥ For even stone
♥ Cannot the wind and rain withstand
♥ And mighty mountains peaks
♥ In time reduce to sand
♥ What we were, we are
♥ What we had, we have
♥ A conjoined past imperishably present
♥ So when you walk in the wood
♥ Where once we walked together
♥ And scan in vain the dappled bank beside you
♥ For my shadow
♥ Or pause where we always did upon the hill
♥ To gaze across the land
♥ And spotting something
♥ Reach by habit for my hand
♥ And finding none
♥ Feel sorrow start to steal upon you
♥ Be still
♥ Close your eyes
♥ Breathe
♥ Listen for my footfall in your heart
♥ I am not gone
♥ But merely walk within you

Happy Birthday Rhys
Rhys you were murdered on the day my first baby boy was born,(22.8.07) and your killer was brought to justice on the day my second baby boy was born (16.12.08). I heard the news on the radio while I was in labour, and it made me cry - to have justice for you means such a lot.
Happy birthday Rhys you will never be forgotten . Sleep tight angel xx

Like storms in the desert
And petals of a dying rose
Why you went to heaven
Only the Lord knows
*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ •*
Like trees in a forest
And the early morning dew
God only takes the best
That’s why he took you
*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ •*
Like gardens of Eden
And rainbows in the sky
You’re one of these beauties
And no one need to ask why
*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ •*
Like the setting of the sun
And the rain and winter showers
You live on through it all
As God gave you these powers
*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ •*
Like God made little green apples
He was the one that made you
And though he took you early
He will be the one to see you through
*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ •*
And you live on forever
Through wind, rain, and shine
And I thank the dearest Lord
That on earth you were mine.

When the sun sets in the morning
Always remember smile at me
Walk along the river bank
Sit under that weeping willow tree
*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ •*
Think about the things in life
That would always make us glad
Never cry for more than a minute
For you will make me sad
*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ •*
Look besides the flowing stream
You might just see me there
I used to love my daily walks
Pass fields and country fairs
*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ •*
Always look on the bright side
For you cry and you cry alone
Don’t be wasting tears on me
As I am in my brand new home
*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ •*
Just remember what we had
Keep the memories in your heart
It wont be long for we meet again
And we can both have a new start
*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ •*
I will see you by the willow tree
When you walk the way I went
For nature is a peculiar thing
And natures heaven sent.

It is eight weeks Beloved
Since you died
You left the stiffening inert lump of clay
That was no longer you
And cried aloud in ecstasy
And suddenly I knew
That all that we believed in
Lived for, told the world
Had at its smallest count
Some measure that was true
It is eight months, Beloved
Since you died
And out of my aloneness
I have woven strength
To build anew
For all there was
Of truth in our relationship
Had eddied, grown, intensified
Till with a clarion call it sounds
at the far reaches of the world -
There is no death
No separation of the ways
If man to love prove true
It is eight years Beloved
Since you died
And for eternity a part of you
Is in its essence me
I know you are
And in that certainty
Is woven all the fabric of my life
Gone is all sense of urgency and haste;
For all time now
Our spirits meet in time
Loving
We are no longer bound by love;
Heart of my heart,
We've set each other free
Unknown
Love Always Mary xxxx

When the pain and grief are over
When it's my time to be by your side
I know you'll be waiting for me
And will greet me with arms open wide
♥
Until then I'll go on living
Though the light in my life has gone
The road will be long and lonely
But I'll bear up and try to be strong
♥
I pray that angels will guide me
Help me to get through this pain
Give me the strengh to go on
Till we are together again

♥**** A Song Of Living ****♥
Because I have loved life
I shall have no sorrow to die
I have sent up my gladness on wings
to be lost in the blue of the sky
I have run and leaped with the rain
I have taken the wind to my breast
My cheek like a drowsy child
to the face of the earth I have pressed
Because I have loved life
I shall have no sorrow to die
I have kissed young Love on the lips
I have heard his song to the end
I have struck my hand
like a seal in the loyal hand of a friend
I have known the peace of heaven
the comfort of work done well
I have longed for death in the darkness
and risen alive out of hell
Because I have loved life
I shall have no sorrow to die
I give a share of my soul to the world
when and where my course is run
I know that another shall finish the task
I must leave undone
I know that no flower nor flint
was in vain on the path I trod
As one looks on a face through a window
through life I have looked on God
Because I have loved life
I shall have no sorrow to die
