"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 [MechWarrior Online] 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."
Posted to FB by the PGI/MWO crowd... I claim no responsibility and don't want credit, just wanted to make sure this message made it over to the forums. Awesome of the MWO folks to create this post. Give your little Mechwarriors a hug folks, and think about making a donation on Sarah's behalf.
I'm not sure if there's a more appropriate forum for this: I was puzzled as to where I should put this general discussion, as I fear it doesn't really fit in Off Topic, but that was probably the mosty appropriate. Feel free to move, mods.
