Condolences to all mourning the loss of Mama Hill. But oh, what a good, long life.
I've had a song in my head since I heard it about a month ago. It won't let go of me. Part of it is Allison Krauss and that hypnotic, angelic voice of her's and then there are the lyrics. At this time of year when things can easily spin out of control, I'm trying to embrace the message and trying to keep the unimportant "things" from spinning. It's a not so simple song about her grandfather.
Simple Love
Little yellow house sittin' on a hill
That is where he lived
That is where he died
Every Sunday morning
Hear the weeping willows cry
Two children born
A beautiful wife
Four walls and livin's all he needed in life
Always giving, never asking back
I wish I had a simple love like that
I want a simple love like that
Always giving, never askin' back
For when I'm in my final hour lookin' back
I hope I had a simple love like that
My momma was his only little girl
If he'd had the money he'd have given her the world
Sittin' on the front porch together they would sing
Oh how I long to hear that harmony
I want a simple love like that
Always giving never asking back
When I'm in my final hour looking back
I hope I had a simple love like that
I want a simple love like that
Always giving never asking back
When I'm in my final hour looking back
I hope I had a simple love like that

I didn't get to go to the H&H either when me and my wife visited in 1999.
Prayers to a lady who gave of herself freely
RIP
R.I.P. Mama Hill.Enjoy your Heavenly Home.
God bless Mama Inez Hill. Her hard work and warm heart are an inspiration to us all.
Mama Hill sure could smile! I'll always remember her waving at me from the back door of the H&H, the door into the kitchen. I was in Macon on business and didn't have time to stop that day but I always drive by THE H no matter where I'm supposed to be when in that neck of the woods. What a smile!
She was so proud of the tree planted in her and Mama Louise's honor at Rose Hill. I had the honor of walking her from the car to her chair at the dedication of the tree . We walked slow I had all the time in the world, I felt so honored.
Just some memories of a wonderful human being. Take your rest now Mama Hill.
Hello Sad to here about the passing of friends Bobo and Mama Hill may you be free and rest in peace. i remember my only vist to the H&H with Lee and Matt we had a wonderful meal and had a great time but i still had room for more ...Mama Hill sez to Mama Louise "This Big one is still HUNGRY !!! " God we Laughed about that one! The best Chicken i ever had ! Try to Grinn....
THE BLUES COME AND GO BUT MAMA WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US AND ALLMAN
It saddens me to hear of the recent loss of loved ones. I lost my father 10 years ago, always a rough time here for Christmas. I loved my dad, but never once told him. I only hope he knew.
We have lost too many wonderful people this year..........RIP Mama Hill.........so glad I had the opportunity to meet you several times.
The Sky is Crying once again.
Paul & I Have many Great memories of Mama Hill. And I am Thankful for every one of them. My Heart is aching for the family and the loss of one of Gods great Angels. I Believe she was greeted with Wide Open Arms to her new home, The one she worked so hard for all of her life. Go to your rest Mama Hill it so so richley deserved.
Love, prayers & many Thanks to have been touched by such an outstanding example of how people should take care of each other. "Sleep now sweet Angel your work here is done"
Peace
Heidi
Hey there sweet family,
Thanks to :angel: Judi Petty there is a pix of Mama Hill, Oprah and Mama Louise in the Media Gallery, Offstage.
We love you, Judi!
Take care and know that you are loved,
Lana
I'm sorry to read about Mama Hill's passing. My condolences to her family and friends.
I've never eaten at the H&H, unfortunately. It was closed when Lana and I were in Macon in July 2002 (on a Monday, I think?).
Skypup, Florida's cold too? Now that's just wrong !
Here's a nice way to stay warm

Thanks drobyn. My father built a mean fireplace, always kept ours roaring during those winter months.
Looking forward to seeing some more of your photos of the Big Apple, especially some wintery ones. Makes me glad I moved down here.
Temperatures up to 76 tomorrow. Heading out to Lake Marion. :fish:
Just flying by to say "Hi". Can't seem to find the time to socialize at all, work is just killing me. God Bless Mama H., although I never have had the opportunity to get to Macon and indulge, she sounded like a truly good human being who looked past the long hair and different life style of our band members and judged them on the "content of their character" as MLK said.
On the topic of the H & H, are there daughter or son H's to carry on the tradition or am I in danger of never getting there? I remember my favorite Mexican resturant of all time never recovered after the death of the family patriarch. The kids that took over were lousy cooks. Hopefully the tradition will continue for generations to come.
Be good out there, can't wait to find out where and when the Manhatten mayhem will ensue.
Such sad news....Dan F was a great song writer..Leader of the Band, Part of the Plan are just afew... Mama I will be always thinking of you when I am in the kitchen of my own place....healing vibes to all thos ein need....may the force be with you.
God Bless and keep Mama Hill.
We will all miss you and your smile.

Farewell to Mama Hill. A good, long life certainly came to her for all the wonderful things she did. Bless you, and good journey from here.
