If your husband is handy get a new bottom piece and have it pre drilled. Do not try to patch it. Or like I said earlier get e new tank.
Really, really bad news... :(

Dang'it girl! Sooooo sorry to hear that 
If you have any DIY skills, then replacing the bottom glass is really easier than you might think. I would conact various glass dealers regarding appropriate type of glass (tempered), thickness, size and cutting/drilling cost.
It would be cheaper than replacing the entire tank.
$350.00 for a 90gal tank
, thats outrageous!
*$350.CA = $290.91US, I could find a nice 100gal + for that price.
*current exchange rate aprox $1.US=$1.20CA

This is as good as it gets.

All the best

What a horrible day, I'm so sorry this happened to you.
I had a 45g crack straight across the front once. I came home to find that 90% of the water had gone between the floor boards and was pouring out through a light fixture in the ceiling below. We were sure the ceiling would collapse but luckily it didn't, and the fish lived in a bucket until we got a new tank from the LFS later that day. I can't imagine how awful you must feel, this is so much worse than I went through, and I was a mess at the time. I'm so impressed that you saved all but one of the fish, that's amazing.

Ooh! or get a new tank, fix the old one (just put a full sheet of glass or acrylic down on top of the bottom, then use the old one as a sump for the new one. Load 'er up with stem plants and lighting and voila, veggie filter.

EMS,
sorry to hear about this..
But remember it could always be worse. I had a buddy of mine who had a 150 gallon tank that sprung a leak in the seal on the bottom of the tank. They came home, and rescued what he could but lost all 8 oscars and a red tail cat. And his room smelled of Fish for about 2 months. It was pretty bad but luckily he lived on the bottom floor at his apartment that had concrete floors.
