"Bye Mom" by Chris Janson

That's what I said at five years old the first day of school
Already then I thought I was way too cool
I thought I had it figured out
And I didn't know a thing
Bye mom
Don't worry 'bout me, I'll see you at three at the bus stop
And I know that you'll be right there to pick me up
In the old truck
I know that's just the way it is
When you think you grown but you're still a kid
And you don't know you're somebody
That somebody loves more than themselves
And there's a beauty in the innocence
Of not knowing that the time they've spent
Is more than one could ask for
And that's a special kind of love
And it's only there for a lifetime, then it's gone
And it's bye mom
You can drop me off down the block around the corner square
All my buddies are waitin' for me just over there
I'll see you later on
Bye mom
It's a cap and a gown in a brand new town eight hours away
Don't cry, I'll be okay
I know that's just the way it is
When you think you grown but you're still a kid
And you don't know you're somebody
That somebody loves more than themselves
And there's a beauty in the innocence
Of not knowing that the time they've spent
Is more than one could ask for
And that's a special kind of love
And it's only there for a lifetime, then it's gone
And it's bye mom
And bye mom, I sang a million mornings at the Brine Street Baptist Church
And bye mom, I waited hours and hours 'til she got off of work
And bye mom, I stood and cried and laid a rose onto her grave
And bye mom, were the last words that I spoke before we sang Amazing Grace
I know that's just the way it is
When you're all grown up but you're still a kid
And you realize you're somebody
That somebody loves more than themselves
And there's a beauty in the innocence
Of not knowing that the time they've spent
Is more than one could ask for
And that's a special kind of love
And it's only there for a lifetime, then it's gone
Yeah, it's only there for a lifetime, then it's gone
And it's bye mom
Yeah, bye mom

Mrs. Lewis was my blue bird leader when I was a young girl she was a wonderful  person and I will never forget her. Later In life her son Korey was my manager at Lake Shore In  and he is still one of my best friends today. May she rest in peace with her husband of many years. Thoughts and prayers to her family and friends during this difficult time ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹🙏🙏

Anna was always very welcoming and loving and she always had that beautiful smile. Our family has known each other for many many years but sadly as we aged we didn’t stay in touch too often. The last time I visited in Lake Stevens when they were sharing the assisted living home. They were very welcoming and it was so fun to sit and visit with her as dad visited with Lou. My heart goes out to your family and knowing that you are thought of during this time. I love these pictures, especially the old ones where she’s posing beautiful!

Anna was like a second mom to me when I was a teenager. I want to convey my deepest  sympathy to your family at this time of loss.
                                        Sincerely 
                                  Joe Kurtzenacker
