To the Family of Mr. Quincy Jones:
Once again, the world has lost a musical genius, whose talent will never be forgotten. His career has expanded over decades, and his gift of music has contributed to the success of many artists. His legacy will be part of music history for all eternity. There is no doubt that he will be missed by all who knew him and loved him personally and professionally. "Sorrow" is too small a word for what you're going through and there's not a word deep enough or wide enough to comfort you.
Please know that God keeps all those who have passed on in death in his memory because all are precious in his eyes. And may the God of all comfort grant the Jones family the peace needed as you continue on the journey of life.
Sincerely,
Bernarda Jackson

Mr. Jones was a musical icon. He was a musician, composer, musical director and producer. He worked with the best in the business from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson. No one else in the music industry even came close to his accomplishments. There is now a void that will never be filled. Sincere sympathies to his wife and children. May God be with you to help you at this very difficult time.
