"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

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.

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.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body
