Hello,
I represent PRAYER SHAWLS 4 FALLEN SOLDIERS (PS4FS), an organization that since October 2007 has sent over 2,800 prayer shawls to military families who have lost a loved one. We are an organization of over 240 groups from all over the country. We make every effort to reach families even when post cards are returned after they have moved. Would you kindly send me a contact email/address so that we may send a loving hand-made prayer shawl to the family? Thank you!

"To the Carver Family,
I just found out today about Mitch's passing. (My family moved out of state a long time ago.) I'm so sorry to hear that he's gone. He was such a good friend when we were younger. I lived next door to the Leicester Community Center and will always remember him as that boy. He was always so nice to me, even though other kids picked on me for being so tall and lanky. He was a good soul even as a child. My sincerest condolences to your family. God bless and keep you all. 5/3/09"

"To the Carver Family:
I know the anniversary of Mitch's passing is upon you again. I just want you to know that I continue to remember you in my prayers and I know how difficult each and every day is for you.
The flowers that were placed today at Trinity Baptist Church in Mitch's honor were lovely.
I purchased the Honor and Remember flag this Christmas and I will proudly fly it in memory of all our fallen heroes.
God Bless you and keep you safe.

"I am sadden to hear that Mitch is no longer with us. He's flying high in the heavens! God Bless him! My pup was gave to me by Mitch when she was 6 months because he wasn't able to care for her as he was always working and I still have her, Mitch named her Kiowa and she is a 10 yrs. old Rotty. She is the love of my life! Thank God I was blessed for knowing such a wonderful gentleman.
God Bless, Kristi Helmey"

"I just found out this Memorial Day weekend about Mitch's passing. He was a great man and loyal friend to all. I was fortunate enough to be assigned with Mitch in 3-7 Cavalry from 1999-2003 in both Bosnia and Iraq. He was an inspiring model of a great soldier. He will be missed by many."

"I first met mitch in Alabama, fresh from his first tour in Iraq and full of advice for me and the other young aviators. He ended up in New York one year later as we set off for Iraq as 1-10 AVN. He was a true professional who loved his job and country. I do believe there wasn't anything that man didn't know about the Kiowa. I will never forget Mitch Carver."

"I met Mitch in Korea in 1997. He became a good friend. I was lucky to be stationed with him again at Fort Stewart GA. I am saddened by his passing, but I know he was doing what he loved. You will be missed, Mitch."

"Mr and Mrs Carver,
I am Joe Ray's Aunt. I have met you at prior ceremonies, most recently at the Blue to Gold Ceremony. I just wanted to say that I realize that this is the anniversary of Mitch' passing. I know just how difficult this day can be. The flowers you placed in Mitch's memory today at Trinity Baptist Church were gorgeous. I just really want you to know that I continue to remember and pray for you and always will. God certainly has called home some special angels. One day we will see them again.
God Bless You!"
Jan Banks of Asheville NC

"I am Joe Ray's sister. Joe and Mitch didn't know each other to the best of my knowledge, but when Joe was killed in Afghanistan not too long after Mitch, his family was first in line to console mine. Mitch's mom has been a great comfort to my mom, and I just wanted to say thanks to the whole Carver family."
Kim Ray of Wilmington, NC

"Every now and then I run through names from my past and 'Google' them to see what/where/how they are doing. I came across this posting. I was in school with Mitch at Haw Creek until we moved away my 6th grade year. My deepest sympathy to you and your family on your loss."

"I'm sorry for your loss! Mitch was my friend, and a fellow brother in Christ. I weep for his loss, but take courage in knowing that he is in heaven and I will see him again someday! scott.wagner@us.army.mil"
Scott Wagner of Coats, NC

"The loss of Mitch was very saddening for me. I went to school with him at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Then after not seeing him for than a year we bumped into each other at Fort Rucker, Alabama, where both of us were attending the Army's helicopter flight school. We came up on orders to South Korea and even flew on the same plane across the big pond known as the Pacific Ocean. The last time I saw Mitch was while in Korea. He flew into the airfield I was stationed at to refuel. This was in 1997. We managed to keep in touch via email, albeit not too often. I still have his email address in my Yahoo! address book. He'll be missed, but I'm terribly proud to have known him. A true patriot, having made the supreme sacrifice in the service of our nation."
