Text:

Amie Lee (Cobabe) Cobb quietly passed with the morning sunrise at her home in Prescott Valley, Arizona on Sunday May 1, 2016, at the age of 42, due to complications from cancer treatments, which she had endured with grace and courage since her early childhood.

Her decision to cease treatment allowed friends and loved ones to say a final good-bye, which was a touching experience for all who were able to participate. Many family and friends will long cherish the experiences of the week preceding her passing.

Amie is survived by her husband of nearly 25 years, Gordon Burl Cobb; and her children, Ian Joseph 19 and Courtnie Jean Cobb 14. She is also survived by her loving parents, Fredrick William and Valerie Jean Cobabe; and her brothers, Bill, Andy, Josh and Alex; and sisters, Michelle Loosli and Lindsey Livingston, along with their spouses; and many nieces and nephews.

Amie was born July 2, 1973 in Torrance, California. She graduated from Mountain View High School in Orem, Utah in 1990 and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Music Education from Brigham Young University in 1995. At BYU, she toured many countries as a member of the Synthesis jazz band and the Wind Symphony. She began her teaching career as a music teacher in the Chandler Unified School District and later in Prescott Valley for the Humboldt Unified School District and held the position of Director of Instrumental Music where she led and taught Marching Band, Orchestra, Guitar, Jazz Band as well as school musicals. She received numerous awards in all areas of music, but always said that the true reward was being a part of the lives of countless young people and inspiring them to reach for excellence and honor.

Amie spent her time in service to her family, school, community and church. She was an avid reader and movie buff and enjoyed crafting, sewing and teaching private music lessons. She was a fierce friend and improved the lives of all who knew her, but her heart always belonged first to her children and she found the greatest joy in being a mother and supporting her children in their endeavors.
Central to Amie’s life was her great faith in her Savior, Jesus Christ. It was through her faith that she faced and conquered countless health challenges throughout her life. Her positive attitude while facing these challenges made her a hero to many and an example to all. Always humble and cheerful, she leaves a legacy of faith, hope, charity and love.

Amie’s life will be remembered and celebrated at a funeral service at 11 a.m. Saturday May 7, 2016, at the Prescott Valley Stake Center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 7073 Pronghorn Ranch Parkway, Prescott Valley, Arizona. There will be a viewing before the funeral beginning at 9:30 a.m. and a graveside service at Arizona Pioneer Home Cemetery in Prescott immediately following the funeral.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Sunrise Funeral Home assisted the family.

Baptism

Yesterday Ellie was baptized. She turned eight on January 27, 2020, and she made the decision to be baptized. I want to tell you a little bit about Ellie. I have never met a child that is quite like Ellie. She is full of life and fire and joy and light. She knows no fear and is infectious in her passion for life and for goodness and for FUN!!! Above all things, she seeks the joy and fun in life. She is also wickedly clever and funny, she’s a delight to be around and makes everyone feel so good. Because she is happy, she wants everyone else to be happy. I first met sweet Elizabeth in 2018, and on the day I met her she was not feeling well. We decided that a movie would be a fun thing for a sick little girl, so I brought one of my favorites to share with her - The Neverending Story. When I got to the house, I picked her right up. It had been a very long time since I was able to pick up a girl, and she snuggled right into my arms. Her poor sick body was warm, but I was more impressed ...

Excommunication

My heart is heavy this morning. I read that Kate Kelly and others are being brought up on Church disciplinary action. For those who are unfamiliar with the process/proceedings of LDS Church discipline, it can be a bit mystifying. There are several levels of censure that the Church may impose. These range from a simple removal of some privileges for a short period of time to the most severe action - excommunication. When one is excommunicated, the person's membership in the Church is terminated. It is a very extreme measure, and for the faithful it can be a very difficult thing to consider. What people don't understand - what is nearly impossible for someone outside the proceedings to understand - is the amount of love felt. It's discipline. It's intended to be harsh (at times). And it's intended to be unpleasant. But it is done with love and care for the person. Since excommunication is such an extreme measure, it is really only very rarely applied. There are ...

Ephesus

Paul got around. Ephesus is right on the Aegean Sea, on the coast of present-day Turkey. Yesterday he was in Galatia, which was much more towards the middle of Turkey. And when he actually wrote these letters, he was in Rome... So the man could travel. He probably walked. Today's item of interest comes from chapter one in Ephesians. Verses 18 and 19 are particularly interesting: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power This is not the first time Paul talks about an inheritance. In Galatians he talks about the inheritance that comes of being part of the Abrahamic Covenant. He notes that we are joint-heirs through and with Christ. In Ephesians, he uses the word "adoption" - that we are adopted as the Children of Jesus Chris...
