His parents have absolutely no rights whatsoever unless a court grants them some. The children are your daughters and if she wishes for you to take care of them, she has the right to say so. The parents of the deceased father cannot do anything without your daughter's approval.

Basically, grandparent's have no rights as to their grandchildren as long as one of the natural parents are alive and able to take care of the children. As long as your daughter's rights remain intact, the children are hers to take care of and she has sole custody of them.
