Being caucasian has NOTHING to do with it.

Like trose our family generally tries to look at old-age passings as a time to remember the person with gladness, be grateful for the amount of time they had with us, etc. Yes, we are sad and yes, we cry, but we don't "wallow" in it the way trose is describing this family doing.
And trose, I think you are doing what you can to help these people, the key word being DOING. It sounds like you are being a good friend to them. I wouldn't know what to say either and would probably just err on the side of saying little to nothing and patting people on the back.
