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.

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...

Engaged

Three Dog Night got it wrong.  One is not the loneliest number. They were more accurate when they said Two can be as bad as one.  I really wonder how people can survive Without being fully engaged. How they live through each day Without the intimacy I so very much crave... Maybe I am unusual in my desire  To have this intimacy, To want to feel that soul So close to my own Sharing light and warmth, Sharing love and passion, Sharing life. Alas! Alas! Alas! For when I do seek to share It is often only to be rebuffed Denied Or used up, Sucked dry, And left an empty husk.  I want SO MUCH to share And all I have is the cold, digital world Of typing out a blog.

Lucky!

So Tomorrow is Amie's birthday. The 12 th is Andy's. The 14 th is Alex's. And the 26 th is mom's. Happy birthday everyone. I recently found that a member of our ward has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer has a survivability rate of less than 5% and you never, ever kick it, even if you live. Once diagnosed, people are expected to live about six months. My wife and I were talking about this wonderful woman. There are very few (too few) people in this world who shine. Literally. This sister shines with a light that is perceptible and discernible . The world will literally be a darker place without her in it. Life is short, folks. Too short for hard feelings, too short for pain and misunderstanding. I love you all so much. Sorry this one is such a downer... I don't mean to be lugubrious on your birthdays... I consider myself lucky to be your brother. You have and continue to bless me and my family in many ways, for which I will be eternally gra...
