My thoughts are with you Rhys and your Mum, Dad and Brother. We live in a cruel world and you did not deserve to die in such an awful way. No carefree 11 year old child does. I cannot imagine the pain and fear you suffered and the over whelming pain and grieve that your family and friends are feeling. The decent people of this world will do all the can to make sure you and your family get justice, although this can never bring you back, I hope it helps you rest in peace.

Rest in peace little man, my thoughts are wiv yr family an friends hope they catch who done this. Cant imagine the pain they are goin through. x

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone Silence the pianos, and with muffled drum bring out the coffin, let the mourners come Let aeroplanes circle, moaning overhead scribbling in the sky the message, he is dead put crepe bows round the white necks of doves let traffic policemen wear white cotton gloves he was my north, my south, my east and west my working week and sunday best my noon,my midnight, my talk, my song i thought love would last forever, i was wrong The stars are not wanted now, put out everyone pack up the moon and dismantle the sun pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood for nothing now can ever come to any good This was a poem that i looked to when I lost my father, I have 3 children of my own and cant imagine the pain you are going through. Loving thoughts to you Rhys and to all your family. Rest in peace little one xx

Liverpool is a great city, i pray that all it's people come together and find an end to this madness that took such a young life away from the world far too soon. As a father i cannot begin to imagine the world without my son. me and my families love, thoughts and strength go out to Mr and Mrs Jones. We are deeply saddened by your loss.

Whoever did this to you were the lowest of the low. To put ur family through this is despicable beyond beleife. a young lige gone like the blowing out of a candle. Rest in pecae little man

Such a waste of such a short life. I hope you make all your dreams happen at the Football club in the sky.Play with the angels little man and be at peace. You will be reunited with your family and friends some day and the evil person who did this will get their judgement.

RIP Rhys lets hope they catch the killer that done this to you.. you were to young you didnt deserve this. god will look after you god bless ..deepest sympathy to rhys family.

Someone so young and innocent Our thought our with you family at sure a horrible time

Rhys, You were a great friend to me and it is so hard to imagine that such a great person could be shot at such a young age. I will never forget the great games of football we used to have together and I will always remember that one of my best friends was killed at 11, which tells me to never ever get into a gang. Rhys, I'll never forget you... Rest In Peace Rhys

When you walk through a storm Hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark At the end of the storm Is a golden sky And the sweet silver song of a lark Walk on through the wind Walk on through the rain Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone Sweet Dreams, God Bless

Gentle Jesus Up Above, Please Send Rhys All Our Love. xxx

Good Night, God Bless, Sweet Dreams. Deepest Sympathy to your family & friends xxx

A LITTLE MAN TAKEN FROM THE WORLD!! SO SADLY THERE IS ONE LESS SMILE ON EARTH BUT AN EXTRA STAR IN THE SKY!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WITH LOVE

Rest in Peace Little Rhys, i watch the news everyday to see if they have found your killer. Your in my heart although i never met you, you shouldnt have had this happen to you. God bless you and your family at this time. Your parents will be looking up to you always.

So sorry for the loss of your little boy. Mum's and Son's always have a deep bond and they are always your babies whatever age they are - so Mel I can only imagine the heartache and pain you are going through. What you have to remember is that you cannot see him but he can see you - you cannot feel him but he can feel you - that bond is never broken and he will always be at your side. God Bless your Lovely Son xx

Hugs to you as a family. You will meet him again, that I'm convinced. Happiness in life, Sorrow in parting, Love in remembrance.

MAY THE LORD BLESS YOUR FAMILY AT THIS VERY TRAGIC TIME WHAT A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG MAN.

although i did not know this lovely young man as a mother of ten children i have been privigled to have no major problems. my heart goes out to to you both with your loss, i would have fell apart, i know how it would feel to lose a child. you lose a part of you. please stay focused for your sons sake. he is in good hands now, god will look after him. i am quite sure of that.please know that i am thinking of you.

I don’t know what to say, words can’t describe the pain you must be feeling. My son is 12……..he is my life, a little devil at times but my life and I would do anything to protect him…as you would protect your son. I’ve watched you on the news and pay tribute to your courage. What is the world coming too? Too scared to let our children out, I was out until 9pm at their age! Tonight at the match, I don’t think I could be so brave. My heart goes out to you at this time of grief and despair. Someone out there knows the truth and I hope they will have the courage to come forward. I think of you………………..the pain and suffering, you will get justice, believe this and one day hopefully the pain will ease, albeit slightly. Our thoughts are with you, your family and friends xxxxx Jacqui, Mark and Josh Wakefield WF3 3HN
