Your family is in my heart and prayers at this difficult time in your lives. Frank and Anita were very good friends of mine growing up. A verse that is very comforting to me and I would like to share with you is Psalm 34:18 God draws near to the broken-hearted". This is one of the many wonderful promises He makes to us and my prayer for all of you.
God bless you,
