Re: I would like to start by saying we had a wonderful time this weekend at AJ. Beverly and her staff worked hard to make it an enjoyable weekend for everyone, and the crowns were just beautiful. It was exciting to come home and find the boards bash-free for once. Then today under the beautiful winners list someone had to make a hurtful remark about a little girl. I would like to inform the person making this statement that a dress doesn't "make" a child, the child makes the dress. How sad you would try to take this child's win away from her mother. Shame on you. -- TEXAS BEAUTY PAGEANTS COMPLAINT BOARD

I totally agree with you that Rylee is a beautiful child! I'm so sorry that this person tried to diminish her win!

And in addition, I am sorry that your daughter was 'snubbed' at crowning. We all need to be careful that we clap and cheer for all the children whether we are friends with them or not! Thanks for reminding us!
