After helping one another through the loss of their own family members, a group of friends has formed a nonprofit organization to help others get through their grief.
Founded in September, Anointed Hands does the cooking and cleaning for the repass meal so those mourning a loved one s death have one less thing to worry about or pay for.
A repass is a reception that takes place after a funeral service in which family and friends come together to eat and share memories of the person who has died.
Stacy Norman, of Houma, said Anointed Hands handled everything surrounding the repass after her mother Leona Norman s funeral. She said not having to focus on the repass gave her peace of mind.
