Sorry to here about your friend. Best i can tell you is God never offered cookies, milk, warm low humidity sunshine filled days etc. Instead we have Sunshine, rain, good, bad, hungry, fulfilled, dying, birth, disease, cure, happy, sad etc. etc. God did not give us a contract saying if you accept me, i'll give you a life full of ease.
God clearly will use anybody, for his will and his will only. I (just like you) am here to fulfill Gods will whatever it may be. Also, just because an innocent family is murdered doesn't mean it is of Gods will, God is clear as good exist in this world so does Satan and his influences.
