Memories and Condolences
for Carey Glasgow

Not sure what to say?





I wish to express my sincere condolences to Mr. Glasgow's family. I had the pleasure of meeting Carey a few years ago during my time at BBVA Compass. I recently left my position there, but I found myself thinking of Carey quite often even after leaving. You don't do that with just anyone you meet, just those who make a firm impression on you. Carey was a very sincere person and it didn't take you long to figure that out, if only after a few interactions with him. I know that he will be greatly missed. My prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time. May you rest in peace, friend.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family...I had just talked to him last week. He will truly be missed. I always asked him how his wife was doing and he would ask me how I was doing. I am sadden and lost for words. May God comfort his family during their hour of bereavement.

I will send some prayers out for the Glascow Family. Carey was a wonderful person and made everyone with whom he made contact with feel so special. Carey would talk with me almost everyday and I always looked forward to speaking with him. I really will miss him as well as many others here at the BBVA Compass Homewood ctr. I know through his daily actions that he was a man of God and we all are so blessed to have known him.

Respectfully,

Carey was one of the sweetest men you would ever want to know. He definitely loved the Lord. Was very much in love with his wife Lavonne, Tuesdai and Skylar. Loved showing photos of Skylar and tell stories of things that she did. He definitely will be missed and never replaced.
