Memories and Condolences
for Lucille Barbee

To Mr. Steve Land, Family & Friends:
I was in your fair city a week ago; and while I was there visiting, I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Land when I went to view Ms. Barbee at the funeral home.
Nashville has lost a true treasure in Ms. Barbee. I had no idea she had served on the radio for 65 years.
As far as I can remember, she was on the radio. I grew up listening to her. I left Nashville and joined the Navy, and I've been gone for over 30 years. I can still hear her beautiful voice as she made all those community announcements and and spun those spirituals.
Her listening audience was her family. Growing up I never heard anyone say anything bad or negative about her. What an awesome testimony.
I often say, "If we want to hear God say "Well Done" we have to do well."
Well Done Sister Barbee.
Well Done!
Thanks for the memories.

I met her many years ago through my dad and mom and since that day I have never forgotten how wonderful she was either in person or listening to her on the radio. She will be missed.

Let the work that I've done speak for me. That is exactly what Sis Barbee has done. She was and is a very well known "Lady of God" and has worked diligently until her final days. God showed much favor upon her to live as long as she have and was in her right mind!
God bless you Family! Another Soldier gone on!

I remember growing up listening to Sis.
Barbee on the radio, and I also had the opportunity to attend a program where she was the Mistress of Ceremony. She was truly a beautiful person, and her love for the Lord was evident. May God Bless you and I'm sure she is "high stepping" in heaven!
