I HAD TO GO AWAY

I had to go away.
I'm sorry you couldn't come with me.
But on earth is where you shall stay.
Please do not be sad.
Instead laugh and be glad.
I'm in a beautiful place, such a beautiful place.
I know you wont see me for a while.
But you will hear from me.
I will be the wind that will chill you on a hot summer day.
I will be the sun that will warm you when it's cold.
Listen to the birds sing, I will be saying, "I love you" in their song.
I know you can't touch me.
But you will feel me.
Because I will be inside of you giving you life on the days you feel like you can't go on anymore.
Please I beg of you, go on, live your life as I lived mine.
Always remember we will be together again.
I will be patiently waiting for you on that day.
When you will join me in this beautiful place.
Until then may God bless you with his almighty grace.

My condolences to your family. I hope that this scripture will comfort the family. Revelation 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

It was my great pleasure and honor to assist Theodosia and Hank Jones during his appearance at the Savannah Music Festival in 2003. At the end of his performance he was worried that he "had left something onstage," an old music hall saying that points up a musician's disappointment in his performance. Even in his eighties, he seemed to be a man who gave it his all and settled for nothing less. He is already missed...and we shall not see the likes of him again.

The Angelic Orchestra has just acquired
a VERY COOL DUDE. Peaceful journey, Hank.
Celebrate the man, his music and his legacy.

Great to know that Henry Jones Sr and Olivia Jones raised their children in Pontiac Michigan and they became some of the greatest Jazz Musicians the world has ever known. They also raised some of the finest people to ever walk the face of the earth. Talk about equanimity under duress!!! Elvin Jones (Drums), Thaddeus Jones (Trumpet) and Henry "Hank" Jones Jr were three of the best Jazz musicians in the world and they all grew up in Pontiac Michigan in the same house at 179 Lake Street!!! I thank God for Hank Jones and the wonderful legacy that he left behind.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I am sorry for your loss. May he eternally rest in peace. God Bless You.

May you find comfort in the words at Ecclesiastes 9:5, "the dead are conscious of nothing at all". How comforting to know that our loved ones are not suffering.- R Scott (Huntington NY).

Rest in peace. God bless you.

MAY THE MEMORIES HE LEFT IN YOUR HEART BRING YOU COMFORT AND PEACE.

EXTENDING DEEP SYMPATHY.

Rest in peace.

Praise the Lord for a life well lived.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Much love and sympathy to Hank's family. We look forward to the day when Hank will play his music again for us (John 5:28,29)--when God will restore him to us in Paradise. (Luke 23:43)

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My deepest sympathy goes out to family and friends. May you recover from your loss and I hope that God's promise will bring much comfort to each of you from day to day. Psalms 147:3

My condolences to Hank's family and loved ones. I truly hope the "God of all comfort" brings you peace as you cope with your loss.

I am glad he was here with us. He enriched the musical world with his artistry. He was wise enough to HEAR the other greats and benefit from their contributions. We all, musicians, and non-musicians alike, are better for his existence. And, I'm glad we have remaining evidence of his musicianship. Considering his brothers, Thad, trumpet and the inimitable Elvin, the drummer, perhaps there is a gene for music ability.

Hank, I didn't get to know you that well, but I was always in awe of your musicianship. Keep on swingin'.

my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during these trying times for your family,mr.Jones will truly be missed for all his great jazz music,,may God Bless you all

Love reading about history. Thanks for being part of it for so many people.

I had the pleasure of last hearing Mr. Jones last year at the Detroit Intern'l Jazz Festival. He was superb. I will always treasure that memory. My condolences to the family.

My deepest condolences to Teddy and the family. My husband, Murray Kagel, was one of Hank's fans and friends through his career. Murray whom Hank in his characteristic warmth and generosity would introduce as his "attorney" spent many hours at Bradley's listening and talking to Hank. I can imagine that Hank's devoted fan, Murray who died in 2008, is welcoming him to jazz heaven.
May the joyous, creative life he lived, give you comfort in your grief.

Our radio station in Chicago (WBEE) played mainstream straight-ahead jazz music for over 35 years, and Hank Jones' melodic notes and beautiful phrasing could always be heard. "Opus de Funk," featuring Hank Jones on piano, Milt Jackson on vibes, and Frank Wess on flute, demonstrated clearly how this music should be played and why jazz will live forever (as long as supremely gifted musicians continue to keep it in their hearts and minds).

WE ARE SENDING OUR LOVE,PRAYERS,&CONDOLENCES TO THE JONES FAMILY,FRIENDS,&ALL WHO KNEW MR. JONES.

Thanks for the beautiful musical memories Hank. I have followed your
music for the last six decades.

Humble,Tx

I wish to extend my thoughts of sympathy and prayers to the family. I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Hank Jones and Barry Harris in concert at Lincoln Center - Allen Room. Magnificent performance, indeed!

I would like to offer the Jones family my deepest and sincerest condolences. The world has lost a great piano player and giant in the world of Jazz. They don't come to much better then Mr. Hank Jones, he'll truly be missed by Jazz ethusiast. I would like to share this thought at Job 14:14,15 "If an able-bodied man dies can he live again ? All the days of my compulsory service I (Mr. Hank Jones) shall wait, Until my relief comes. You will call, and I myself shall answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning." Mr. Jones, will not be forgotten by the family, friends, Jazz enthusiast, nor by the 'Creator of life.'

You will always leave a mark on the world through your music. Thank you/
