The girl in blue is the true epitome of what a Queen truly is!

She was crowned Homecoming Queen By her Senior class....

…but took the crown off her head and placed it on the girl in pink (escorted by her father). She had lost her mother to cancer the morning of Homecoming.

Senior Nyla Covington at Forrest County Agricultural High School showed marvelous grace, humbleness, friendship, beauty and love!!!

“All I could think about was my mom and how she wanted to be here, and then the next thing I know, Nyla walked towards me, and she hugged me,” Brittany Walters said. “Then she started to take off her crown.”

Way to go Nyla!

We could all take a lesson in “Loving Thy Neighbor” through you.
