I cannot fathom what Mrs. Tillman, wife of Gary and mother of Hannah, must be enduring now into the eleventh day of wait. She and her two daughters need our continued support through prayer.
On December 18th, 2005, Gary Tillman was piloting his plane with his 16 year old daughter and two of her friends on their way to the Bahamas. They did not make it and are still missing along with the plane. Hannah Tillman's two friends were recovered just hours after the crash, one surviving the ordeal and one who tragically drowned.
According to news reports today, the local authorities have expanded their search and now have some additional resources to aid in their efforts:

Experts Help Search for Missing Father and Daughter
I can't help but recall the summer that John F. Kennedy, Jr., his wife and his sister-in-law crashed when they were flying to attend a wedding for one of his cousins. However, that crash appeared to be a matter of national security that included using the resources of the Navy to find them. I purport no disrespect to the Kennedy family whatsoever, however, this crash is no less tragic and Mr. Tillman and his daughter should be sought after with the same diligence as anyone else who is missing.
Please continue to pray for Mrs. Tillman, their daugthers, their family and friends and the local authorities involved in the search for Gary and Hannah Tillman.
