I would buy one in a heart beat.

EDIT: And probably feel my heart tearing apart every time I ran it.

I would also buy one, great idea. But I don't know if I could shoot at one if it came across on the battlefield in the enemies team . So maybe a unique paint job or cockpit item is also a good idea. But there should definetly be an ingame item for her memorial, no matter what.

rest in peace little one

no I imagine there would have been a squeal of delight from Sarah watching a flock of Jenners coasting over a ridge to maul some heavies or assaults.

Good point. Maybe a cockpit item.

There seems to be something wrong with the particulate filter in my cockpit here... got something in my eye.

Too much heartbreak in the last week... month... sheesh

I am so very sorry for your loss. I can´t imagine what this means for you and i wish you strength to hold on.

Rest in peace, Sarah.

My condolences and prayers for Jon and Sarah's family.. And I would vote and gladly contribute for a Memorial Mech in honor of this child.. As a regular Jenner pilot myself, I would always run it..

My most sincere condolences to the family of Sarah. Having lost a brother to cancer myself, I understand the feelings associated with a loss of this type, but adding the fact that Sarah was so young really hits the heart heavily.

Rest in Peace Sarah.

Rest in peace. My Condolences to her family.

[Drake67]

My sympathy. I have lost my Dad and my Granddaughter.

[Hotthedd]

As a father who has unfortunately had to bear the pain of losing a young child, my heart goes out to Jon in sympathy and support.

I was brought here by the Jenner Hero Mech suggestion, and I will buy one, no matter the cost.

[Belorion]

So very sad... I can't imagine how hard it is to lose a child, and I hope I never have to learn.

Rest in peace young one.

We would like to give our deepest condolences to the family of one of our youngest MechWarriors, Sarah Marie Alida Parries. She was just 5 years old when she passed from inoperable brain cancer last week in Vancouver, Canada.

Sarah's favourite Mech chassis was the Jenner with streak SRMs, because she liked to lock on. She loved speeding around with nightvision and lots of medium lasers so she could, "get 'em good!" blazing through the Inner Sphere with her father Jon. Sarah was an excellent sport and shared her dad's passion for BattleTech.

"This one time daddy was playing his game in his big mech and he walked up to a baddy and the baddy just BLEW UP!"

In loving memory, Sarah's family and all of us here at MechWarrior Online kindly ask that you consider donating to your local Cancer Society or visit Cancer.ca to donate today.

Dev's It's been a long time since I posted around here... and to copy and past my earlier sentiments from Face book:

Wesley Norman Clark: MWO, Piranha Games... do the girl a service so we will all remember her... make Hero Jenna, name it after her, donate the proceeds to the cancer association.
To end:

Fare Thee Well MechWarrior

MechWarrior, cling thee not to this world,
As it holds for you no more.
But listen! Listen for the song from afar,
And heed the lilting call of the land that awaits.

Let the final breath slip from your pierced chest,
And your broken hands fall from the stick.
Bend your bloodied brow to this life,
And let tumble the shattered helm that once cradled your head.

Leave behind these acrid smokes of the fields,
These swirling battlegrounds of charred metal, bone and flesh.
Depart from the flashing fires that filled your eyes with destruction,
And abandon the burning hulk of steel and crimson that was your mount.

Hold not to this realm,
But hasten! Hasten down the twisting path to the mountains.
To the dark mountains and beyond,
And across the shimmering sea.

Voyage then. Voyage thee well MechWarrior.
Voyage thee well and long.
Cross the great divide,
And find the land that beckons with its Siren’s song.

Where swords and strife cannot follow,
Nor can cruel laser and cold gauss reach.
Where rolling hills of soft sun and velvet grasses embrace,
And quiet waters sooth your beleaguered soul.

Then, lay thee down MechWarrior,
Lay thee down and sleep.
Dream the dreams of victors…
Loose the silver cord…
And find your peace complete.

Fare thee well MechWarrior.
Fare thee well.

It's kind of devastating to read something like this, what a cool kid. I'll be praying her and those she's left behind.

RIP little one.
