Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die

Sympathy for this senseless loss, let's all wear our football shirts in memory of Rhys on Thursday.

When you feel a gentle breeze Caress you when you sigh It's a hug sent from Heaven From a loved one way up high. If a soft and tender raindrop Lands upon your nose They've added a small kiss As fragile as a rose. If a song you hear fills you With a feeling of sweet love It's a hug sent from Heaven From someone special up above. If you awaken in the morning To a bluebird's chirping song It's music sent from Heaven To cheer you all day long. If tiny little snowflakes Land upon your face It's a hug sent from Heaven Trimmed with Angel lace. So keep the joy in your heart If you're lonely my dear friend Hugs that are sent from Heaven A broken heart will mend.

Just to let you all know our hearts are with you!

I am eleven years old and only a few days older than rhys myself, and I am disgusted that anyone could do what has been done to someone at such a vulnerable age. I can not imagine the pain you are going through at this moment, but I send my best wishes in the investigation and I know that Rhys' murderer will be caught eventually

I have an 11 year old boy also footy mad and couldnt imagine life without him and so it breaks my heart to think what you are going through.I pray you can find the strength to get through,my deepest sympathy to you all.R.I.P.forever little rhys.god bless.

Our deepest and most sincere sympathy to all Rhys's Family and Friends, we didn't know you but we are deeply saddened and effected by this nightmare you all must be living in. Each time I see Little Rhys's face I think of my own little boy and I can only begin to imagine how you all must be feeling. We are so so sorry for your sad loss. You're in our hearts, you're in our Souls x. Play safe with the Angels Little Bright Eyes and do not be afraid.xx

From parents who have lost a child we lost our 20 year old special needs son in Febuary of the year so we do know how Rhys's mum and dad are going through looseing one of your own is just tragic but to go in this way is well, words fail as to how to discribe. Someone reading this knows who done this appaling crime we URGE you go to the police so Rhys's parents can see justice done. Rhys may god bless you and I'm sure by now my boy is taking care of you to mum and dad people will say it get's easier or better from our point of view it don't you just have to learn to live with it but hopfully this person will be caught and hopfully you will get the answer as to WHY he or she took the life of this young and tallented lad.

courage à la famille, passer à travers cette épreuve n'est pas facile,j'ai une filette de 5 ans, je ne peux imaginer la peine, mes condoléances à toute la famille.

RIP my dear friend

Our British Police Chief has recently admitted 95% of guns on our streets are connected to the drugs trade. The more we enforse the insanity that is drug prohibition, the more we will encourage guns onto oyur shores. The government are fully aware of this. Yet they couldn't give a flying toss about which children die. THIS IS THE LIE. Drug addicts are better treated in a clinic where they can access free heroin, get help, and successfully recover, all the statistics suggest this true.
