I never new Miss Debbie, but I worked for you Captain Tahmahkera while you were a captain at the TCSO from 1981-1986 in the Booking Department. You used to call me "Clintee" which was short for Clint. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family captain. You had a big impact on me as a young officer and I did continue on in Law Enforcement and retired with 30 years. I wish you and your family the best and thanks for being the man that you are.

I'm so sorry to hear about Debbie. Over the 25 years that we lived next door I came to think of Debbie as a good friend. We almost broke the fence down leaning on it talking, wore the street out walking around the block. I know you will miss her, but I hope you and Brandon will be ok. Minnie
