Angel of Hope: Two lives were lost the first week of July suddenly without warning. the hardest to mourn..RIP Mr Rice and Mitchell.. then a candlelight service where God's love and grace spoken to the very many. Priceless. the pieces fell into place. Angels brought together in heaven, sought out for a higer purpose: to bring the many together, the sharing of God's love, seeds planted, and blessings to follow. Look for the silver linings.. the ripples.. they are there!! and my goosebumps...

My deepest sympathy to the Rice Family for your loss. As evidenced last night at the visitation, Mr. Rice was very highly thought of and respected by all. I have never seen so many people lined up to pay their respects to a great man! The band kids and parents will miss him greatly, what a great loss to the Fox school family. You are gone, but not forgotten. Rest in Peace Mr. Rice. I know you will be playing beautiful music in heaven.

What a great teacher. He has done so much fr the music dept. Fox. He will be greatly missed.

I had the distinct pleasure of being Matt's one and only student teacher at Fox. He took me in and opened his arms to me. We are very close in age so a brotherly bond developed. I would have done anything to help Matt and I look back at that particular time with great pride. His band program was finally turning the corner and everything was just magical. All of his hard work and his fingerprints were and are evident. Even with all he had done he thought of me as a lucky charm. I will never...

God's speed to you, Mr. Rice. It was a pleasure to work with you at Fox High School. You will be greatly missed.

Dear Pat, and the rest of the family. It's been many years but I still remember you and Giles and Matt from Oakville Baptist. Pat, you've been thru way too much in your life. To have lost your husband and now your son. But God says He will never give us more than we can handle and I know that is true. My sympathies are with you all. Love & Prayers, Marilyn Windsor-Evans

Matt was the most influential man in My Son Jerod Owen's Life other than his Father. I Drove the Bus for Most of the Band trips During Matt's Years teaching at Fox Sr High School. He was a very Special man and I will miss him very much
