Absolutely heartbreaking and unbelievable. They tried to so hard to find a donor. My thoughts and prayers are with her family

Heart-breaking news. Everyone who knew of her and loved her did everything they could possibly do. She fought until this tragic end; if only Broadway had a chance to watch her continue to grow as a performer. Sleep in Heavenly peace, Shannon. My prayers go out to you, and your family and friends.

This completely breaks my heart. I had so hoped they'd be able to find a donor and that she'd recover.

It's so sad that she never found that match she needed, but it's inspiring how the community mobilized for her and raised awareness about the bone marrow registry. I registered because of her and I know lots of others did, too. I hope others will be matched to donors who registered because of her.

My heart is hurting for this sweet little girl and her family. She followed her dreams and did more in 11 years than most of us will do in our entire lives. RIP.
