Tammi Menendez

Though they had corresponded intermittently for years,
Tammi met Erik Menendez for the first time in 1997, a year
after he had been convicted and sentenced to "LWOP" - Life
Without Parole. From that first meeting, a strong
friendship developed that eventually turned to love. When
they met, Tammi was a young, attractive, and successful
businesswoman. She was the all-American girl living the all-
American life - a life that would forever change with one
chance encounter.

Through brutal hardships and constant challenges, Tammi and
Erik have sustained each other while creating an
inspirational story with the central message: every life is
precious; every life has purpose.

Tammi resides in California with her daughter.
