She is also survived by four step-children; John Adams (Catherine), Vicki Adams (Steve Greene), Tom Adams, Jr. (Yuko), and Cathy Adams (Don Gordon), also by numerous other family members and by many friends. A 37 year resident of Foster City, she retired to Georgetown, TX in 2004. Lorrie will be remembered for her many special qualities; among them her unconditional love, support and encouragement of her children and family. Lorrie is her husband's universe and will be forever loved and deeply missed. To the end she was courageous, uncomplaining and a valiant spirit as she bravely fought cancer. Her genuine joy of life was evident everyday and she enhanced the lives of everyone she met.

Anyone who could write their husband a "Dear John" , while being held as a POW in Vietnam can´t be too special.

To the Adams family, sorry for your loss, may GOD give you his PEACE, PSALM 29:11 The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace. His LOVE, and his STRENGTH. She will always be in your HEART and her memory will live on just by the storys she told her family and the storys that are going to be told by her family. GODS promise to his children JOHN 14:2-4 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going. She is with JESUS walking on streets of gold, and she is with all the ANGELS in HEAVEN. We who are left behind are left with the sorrow, but find comfort in knowing that she has a new body that will never feel pain again and will never perish. May she R.I.P
