One more angel in heaven

Have not forgotten about you, bud...been awhile since I was here last. Thinking of and praying for you and your dear family.

I was looking for words of comfort while thinking about my own son, Tyler Nichols, who died on June 21, 2008, and came across the poem written by Rhys' father. I was so touched. My son was an American high school football player and played on the state championship team of 2007. Our community lost another football player a few years earlier whose name was Kale Powell. Last year we lost a coach, Jared Pierce, who coached all of my boys. All in one little community, Guthrie, Oklahoma, America. They are not the only losses, but I just wanted to say that the team is nearly complete. Whether it's America or UK, God must have needed his own team. May God bless and keep the Jones family and those who have lost children. Now we are all in the same, unfortunate, club together.

I was in Manchester when this horror unfolded. I'm just a Stewardess from America, but I hurt so much for his family at this time. His picture goes with me all the time, and I think of him often; Especially when I don my Everton jersey to cheer the Toffees!!! I love you baby boy!!

God bless this family and may they find who murdered this poor little soul.Children are being murdered more and more every day and if it ain't abuse it's gang related violence.Why do people have to be so dam cruel in this world?The parents of the murder was obviously not raising thier child right and it led him to commit a crime on an innocent child.God bless with lots of love and you will always be in my heart and prayers.

little angel...

Loved and Missed by so many, Never forgotten....

god bless you little man..wish i could bring you back..

small sweet angel... Hope you're happy in God.

My great uncle tom recently passed away in september it was shortly after school began for me this happened during my 1st year of junoir high butt know I`m in the 7th grade. my thoughts about this is the killer is crazy why did you have to do this butt at least the kill is in jail for life.

no body deseves this could of been my best friend amber or her little eric or it could of been been both of them. look on the bright side he is in heaven looking down on you guys mr and nrs rhys when you guys get to heaven you all will be looking down on your other family members butt know he is saving you guys a spot till then he is keeping your spot warm for you guys trust me I have been through the lost of more than 1 family memeber. both of my grandmas are dead and my grandpas are dead my grandpa james he died before i was even born cause i was born in 1997 and he died in 1989 when my dad`s mom died I was only 7 years old butt when i`m at school and see other kids with their grand parents it just makes me sad that both sets of my grand parents are now gone i just think about them when i see other kids who still have their grand parents.

My heart goes out to the parents,family and friends of Rhys Jones. May he find peace in his new home in Heaven til those who loved him meet again. Without adoubt you left this world way to soon. You still had alot of living to do. And so much more that you wanted to do in your short young life on earth. You left behind alot of empty spaces in alot of hearts that love you. All thats left is alot of empty spaces where your love touched alot of souls. Thou you are gone you will never be forgotten by many near and far. R.I.P little Angel Rhys Jones

no mother or father should go through something like this im so sorry that your loving son rhys past away but look on the bright side hes in a happier place so good nite Rhys Jones x

his parents really do not know who killed their little boy rhys brittish police believe it was a hooded teen who like hated rhys jones so much that the teen decieced to bring out a gun and point the gun at him and pretty much shoot him while he is walking home he was shot 3 times and once through the neck is where the little boy got shot .

who would kill such a sweet little boy a monster would kill a little boy like this a monster would kill a little boy like this cause I have been through deaths of my family

This could have been my child or anyone's. My thoughts are with you and I just wish that day could be "done-over". Your angel did not deserve that nor did his family. He is looking down on you guys, keep your head up so that he may see you!!!! With Love From Tallassee, Alabama

Hello Just Wriggting To Let You No We All Av Love For Rhys In Are Hearts Even If We Dont No Rhyss...Rhys Is a Beutiful Lil Lad He Was In To FootBall i Bet He Would Of Become a Boss Lil Football Player Awwww R.II.P Babee Love Staceyy xxxxx

i no sayin sorry will not be ok but i am so sorry for your lost on your lil boy i am a jones and when here the name jones i just think of lil beautiful rhys i when to rhys's concert in liverpool and the story wa his dad said i was cryin of it its lovely just like your rhys well good nite rhys xxxxxxx

Like the Jones's family my child was also murdered.The man who did this truly awful thing is now in prison.My child, Jenny, like Rhys, was just an innocent going about her very ordinary life when she was murdered and her body dumped somewhere we still do not know. I to and my family live with the loss everyday, Having been the thru the ordeal and a trial it is the worst loss you can imagine.Losing the person is terrible but knowing someone else has taken there life is far far worse. The greiving process will happen and many of your thoughts will change over the years. If I can offer any words of comfort I hope these words will help. Just because your child has gone you will never ever stop loving them.They are always ,always part of your family. Know one else will ever be Rhy's parent,except you. Try,if at all possible to keep alive all the wonderful memories you have of your sweet boy and spend as little time leting the murderer get into your mind or hearts. Accept all the offers of help and be kind to yourselves. I watched your story unfold on TV and I was so disgusted and angry at how long it took to catch the culprit.I know that you are a loving ,strong , decent family . Be strong. You are a good family who never ever deserved this too happen . God blessxxx

what kind of a monster would kill a little boy like that a big monster would

I pray that your family will find peace and comfort in GOD'S arms, I know how hard it is for them because I loss my son to act of murder. I do know that if you put it in the hands of the" Father" that is Heaven, He will give you peace. Please be Blessed and know that my Prayers will be with you always, until that great reunion know and be at peace knowing that he is waiting for you.

life of a little boy who was shot by an unoun person

may his soul rest in perfect peace

How tragic you had to leave so soon. I know that you are in heaven and you have been given angel wings. I will pray for your family. I can't imagine the pain and emptiness they must feel. I have only one child, a son, but I do have two beautiful grandchildren. A grandson and a granddaughter. I pray the "cowardly mean spirited" person will be found and receive just punishment for taking your life. You are a handsome young man and I can see you running through heaven with a big smiles on your face.

Hay Babe, I am so sorry for what has happened, Goodnight, Godbless lovely x Sweet Dreams x Love Kate and Family x

no mother or father should ever go through what you have gone through at least the scum bag has got what he deserves and just cos he in prison doesn't mean hes got it easy there loads in there that will have him for breakfast...and i hope they get him

I have followed this story from the very beginning, and my heart is with you. Your wonderful boy deserved so much more than this travesty of 'justice' which I read today. May you find smiles again one day in your loving memories of him. Bless you for being so strong, and sending a message to us all for strength, every time you speak. Please know that your story has touched people all over the world, and my only wish, as yours is, is that we didn't ever have to know this story. He was so lucky to have you as parents; that is obvious to all. His brief life was a truly beautiful one. Best of everything to you and your family, going forward. Joan from Montreal

I'm also mother (just from 8 monthes) and I can't imagine it. But I'm sure he is happy with God and he is with his family in love

My Mum was a single parent, and i was brought up to respect others and thats exactly what i do. People today have NO RESPECT for anyone and its very sad. And its an even sadder world we live in today that people have to wallk around with guns and knives. Im really concered for the future. And to take away such an innocent life when you have your whole life ahead of you Rhys. It breaks my heart it really does. All we hear on the news is storys of young kids being stabbed or gunned down and its not right. We will never forget you Rhys you will always be in our thoughts and hearts. Rest in peace beautiful little man..Laura x x x x x

i am so sorry, for what happen to your little life. i pray that all is well with your family, and that you fly with the angels

i heard what had happened on the radio...my son is also called reece jones and he was 11 and is a fan of football.of course i was worried sick that it was him but also saddened that you had lost you precious son...i cant imagine how you feel...i hope you have the love and support that you need.

i hope the scum who done this gets wat they deserve, couldnt imagine wat rhys's parents are going through. rhys will never be 4gotton x
