She was my spiritual mother. With the exception of my biological mother, Mother Bright is the Greatest Woman I’ve ever known. I sincerely miss you.

Aunt Pauline, was one of my parents (Benjamin & Wilma Irving) closest and dearest friends. By the time l was born, Aunt Pauline had grandchildren my age and older...I remember growing up around the Bright family & sharing many fun and enjoyable memories. When Mama planned those big birthday parties for me she was right there helping. (Bless her heart) I also remember when my mother was in her last days....Aunt Pauline was right there by her side...When Aunt Pauline was crossing over, l came into town and went by to see her. I placed an old picture of her with my parents at the beach & sang to her.... Oh Lord, l do hope that some how she could hear me before she slipped away.... Love you Aunt Pauline & lll never forget you.... l hope somehow you know that l help people like you did! Youre right!!! That is what God wants us to do!!! Bennye Laveta Irving Barrett

We'll never forget Mother Bright. My husband & I were watching our wedding video yesterday on our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Yes, Mother Bright was in the audience, yes, she was waving her hand & praising God! We miss Mother Bright -- gone but not forgotten. ~Elder Karon & Fettie Blackwell~

Gone but not forgotten. I still feel Mother's spirit daily and hear that sweet soft voice. Small in stature but was a powerful woman of God. I miss you Mother Bright, you finally got where you wanted to be, with your Jesus. Love Bea

To the Bright Family:
Mother Bright was a loving and caring individual that always represented God's love and compassion. As she did with so many others, she touched my life in a way that I will always remember. It saddens us all to lose such a great soldier, but we know that it was time for her to receive her great reward for the unforgettable work that that is now part of her legacy.
She will be greatly missed.
God Bless You,

We, the Bright family would like to extend our love to each of you that contributed in whatever way during the Homegoing celebration & life of such a wonderful woman of God - My grandmother "Mother Pauline Bright". She taught me in so many ways, but the most important way was giving my life totally to Jesus Christ my Saviour. Mother's lifestyle was a true example of Holiness. I am so glad I will see her again in Eternity. RIP Mother.
Love you always, Bea (#7)

My great-grandmother was exactly what her title is...GREAT! Her God-given wisdom was so profound. There are no extra words that I can conjure up to describe what kind of person she was besides PHENOMENAL! No matter who you were to her whether friend, family member, church member or a stranger on the street, she treated everybody THE SAME WAY! And that way was with Love (Agape)! I don't think she had an enemy in the world. I thank her and will always admire her for her wisdom, the love of God and for her family. I know through her many talks/lectures and prayers, she was empowering her generations to follow the same path that she did. If nobody else will go, SEND ME! Thank you to everyone who knew, loved and respected her. And also thank you for the outpouring of love during this time of celebration. Continue to keep our family in your thoughts and prayers! May the Lord add a blessing to all!

Knowing the type of person Mother Bright was and enjoying being around her. I remember when she asked me to tell you all to give her car back to her. Times she would visit my husband (Freddie) in the hospital. I knew who it was when he mentioned she would come 6 am in the morning. He often asked "Who is the little lady that comes every morning to pray?" I'll always treasure the letters she wrote to me and I thank God for knowing her. She encouraged me!

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
To the entire Bright family, you have our most heart felt sympathy. We share with you in mourning the homegoing of Mother Bright. She was as sweet and humble as they come. Her infectious smile, mild mannered demeanor, love for God, simple but serious praises and expressions of love to the Lord will be missed by many.
We know you all loved her and so did we. But earth's lost is Heaven's gain. May her soul and beautiful spirit rest eternally in the loving arms of the Lord.Thank you for sharing Mother Bright with all of us who loved and admired her.
Sincerely,
Harry & Debra Brown & Family

My Godmother was truly a Blessing in my life her words of wisdom and the example that she set as a woman of God and most of all the Love that she had for the Lord and his people will never be forgotten. I count it an honor to have her known her as a Mother in the Lord and my Godmother.
God Bless you.

I extend my condolences. Surely my heart was heavy when I learned of her passing. My Godmother was truly a woman of God who knew how to Love God and his people. She was such an outstanding example to the women, youth, and the Body of Christ and will be greatly missed. May the Peace of God and the comfort of his Spirit be with you during this difficult time.
God Bless you,

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Aunt Pauline, You knew me before I even knew myself.....You, Mama and Daddy were the best of friends...In fact, you named me. I'm so glad we had a chance to spend one last time together before your transition to heaven. I love you...always have and always will...You'd be so happy to know that I do alot to help the elderly just like you did! Now you're asleep in Jesus.....Love, Laveta

I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, I HAVE FINISHED MY COURSE, I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH; HENCEFORTH THERE IS LAID UP FOR ME A CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHICH THE LORD, THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE, SHALL GIVE ME AT THAT DAY; AND NOT TO ME ONLY, BUT UNTO ALL THEM ALSO THAT LOVE HIS APPEARING.

To the family," Earth has NO sorrow that Heaven can't heal". Ms. Pauline was an example to all who came to know her. She had a very sweet spirit and will surely be missed. But there is one thing we can hold on to and that is the promises of our Heavenly Father, to wipe away all tears and to send us a Comforter. Trust the Lord to take care of all the tears. God is Faithful to do just what He said He will do. My Prayer to the family...... draw strength from the Lord, He will comfort you............The Blessings of God for you all.

Mother Bright, You will always live in my heart and memories. You truly were my "Other Mother". I could not have been more blessed than when God placed you in my life 45 years ago. You taught me the Way of Christ more plainly.
