Rebecca (Gumtow) Allen June 23, 1976 - July 22, 2008 In Remembrance of...

Rebecca Gumtow Allen was a beautiful person both inside and out. My daughter loved life and everyone in it. She was kind, caring, strong, generous, smart, ambitious and friendly. On July 22, 2008 at 5:00 a.m. she was an innocent young woman riding her bicycle in a bike lane. She wore a helmet and reflective clothing. She obeyed all the rules, but that didn’t matter because she was struck and killed instantly by an underage young man who chose to drink and use drugs while driving and use his car as a weapon to kill. Rebecca is gone. The world has lost a bright start and our lives will never be the same.
