RIP Sarah
A few of you noticed my status message of "RIP Sarah" and I want to thank you for those of you that expressed concern. Sarah was a friend of mine dating back to my college days. She was in a sorority when I was in my fraternity years at CSU San Marcos.
Sarah died in a car accident and the news still really hasn't sunk in. I am definitely in shock and I can't believe that someone so full of life and so fun to be around is not with us anymore. I distinctly remember so many times hanging out with her and all the fun memories. It just seems so tragic that she is gone at the young age of 31.
I am going back home to San Diego today to go to the services and will be seeing a lot of old friends. It will be good to be there and I know she will be there in spirit. There's so many things you are reminded of when something like this happens ... how fragile life can be, how you never know what might happen and to always cherish what you have while you have it.

About Me
My name is Sean Gibson and I am a poker journalist and part time poker player. I work full time at PokerNewsDaily.com where I host a daily news show called "The Daily Deal" and also handle the bulk of the live player interviews. In terms of poker you will find me playing $1/$3 No Limit Hold'em in Vegas or in Los Angeles (or San Diego) and online playing small stakes games.
News so tragic is never easy to accept and sink in. In times like these all we can really do is spend time with loved ones and remind ourselves how blessed we are with our surroundings. You have my family’s & my sincerest condolences and support. From this side of the world all I can say is cherish all that you have in your life and celebrate the times you had with her with everyone at the ceremony. Remember how precious life is and live every moment.
Take care my friend.

Sorry to hear, Sean. I went through similar with a good friend 1.5 years ago. It’s tough because there is no warning and your friend is just suddenly gone. Gathering with her friends and family will be good for all of you.
Allow yourself to grieve.
