Marie Sanders Cates (1912–1985) is the grandmother of Katie Hochman. Marie, the youngest of five, lost her father at the age of four. Her mother was unable to keep her family together and Marie was taken in by other family members. It was in that house that her love of poetry began. She expressed the joy and sadness of her life’s events in her poems. The first two songs are about her separation from and eventual return to her mother and siblings. The third song is about her life after her husband died and her faith that she would see him again.
