A disturbing incident was reported after police found the bodies of 35-years-old Andrea Langhorst and her two children, Olivia Dryer and Adam Dryer, inside a car parked outside of an apartment complex in Melbourne, Florida.

The father of the dead woman has confirmed that she and her twins will be laid to rest together after the tragic happening.

An investigation into the mysterious circumstances is underway, the Melbourne Police Department said in a statement they do not have reason to believe there's an active or persistent danger to the beachside community.

"It's a really difficult time," Andrea's father, Randy Langhorst, tells PEOPLE. "We're just playing the waiting game to get closure on it, to see what exactly happened."

Langhorst says that he hopes that the toxicology report and the autopsy from the Brevard County Medical Examiner's Office will shed some light on what really happened and give them "closure" into the circumstances of Andrea's and the twins' deaths. 

Langhorst says that the only information the family has till now is that the mother and the children passed away around the same time.

"I just know they were in the car in the heat of Florida for a few days," he explains. "We didn't have to identify the bodies, the police were able to do it with the photographs we gave them. I can't imagine myself or my ex-wife having to do that."

"Before I speculate anything, I just want to wait until we hear all the authorities have to say about her cause of death, and then our family can be at peace a little more, knowing what happened," Langhorst says.

After the investigation, the grieving family plans to cremate Andrea and the children together.

"That's kind of the way we want to do it," Landhorst explains. "Andrea had been with those kids since they were born, they'd go everywhere with her. "

The devastated father remembers his daughter — who the family called "Andy," to rhyme with his first name — as a "kind and loving mother," who was full of wit and humor.

"I'm going to miss her dearly," he says of the "free-spirited" Andrea.

He also says Olivia and Adam were "together all the time and loved each other."

"We just have to have faith right now," Langhorst says while holding back tears. "It's the only thing that's going to pull us together because I got a lot of hurting people in my family right now."
