Wed, 09/14/2022 - 2:23pm

DELCAMBRE — People from the town of Delcambre said their goodbyes this past week to the biggest fan of Delcambre High School.
That honor belonged to Brittney Jaide Migues, 37, who died after a short illness. Known as “BJ” to the town of Delcambre, Migues spent most of her life in a wheelchair. She was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy at the age of one. But that never slowed her down.
Her mom, Sandy, remembers Brittney telling her in grade school that she was not handicap. She “just could not walk.”
