Mary McCormack: Mary Shannon

Quotes 

• Mary Shannon : [voiceover]  Friendship, it's been said, is God's way of apologizing for your family. I don't really subscribe to the God part. But if I did, apologizing for family seems like the least He could do.

• Mary Shannon : [voiceover]  I can count the witnesses I've admired on a hand and a half. The ones I liked, fewer still. When it comes to those I was truly friends with, I can't put a number on it. I don't need to. It's just Mia. Someone who wouldn't be around for very long. I know somewhere a therapist's couch beckons. Mia lived forty-two years. All she wanted, in the end, was to have made a difference in one life. She did. She absolutely did. I know what she'd say if she heard all this: "Oh, shut up." Her version of "rest in peace."
