Our deepest and sincere condolences to the Turnage Family. What a blessing to live to see 97 years on this Earth. We remember running down to "Mr Jessie's" store to buy candy all of the time while living in North Fairmount. Such fond and fun memories of those days. Mr Jessie had to have been one of the first black business owners here in Cincinnati, it is there at the store where we met his children our friends Bonnie, Booby and Darlene. Strangely enough as God would have it we continued to be friends while growing up together in Mount Healthy and until this day. Mr Jessie has received his wings and has been reunited with your Mother to God be the Glory!! We are praying for your comfort and strength during this time. The Spencer Family (Libby, Dorene, Clarice and Lamont)
