---------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- ----

Hi Guys:

I realize that the silence surrounding Soraya during recent months has been frustrating for everyone. In the past, these periods of silence were a sign that we would soon be rewarded with the magic of our dear Soraya’s art. Unfortunately, this time, things are different... Soraya’s health is in critical condition and although she has an immense desire to live, her strength to fight grows weaker each day.

This is a difficult moment for everyone and today, more than ever, we must join together and send her the same positive energy that she has always given us.

She has sent the following words:

================ ==================== ==

[b]The road hasn’t always been easy; however, I have learned that when it comes to some things, there is no other choice than to embrace whatever path you are on. Regardless of my path, hopes, dreams and expectations have never failed to be present. In those dreams you have been unconditional accomplices, sometimes walking by my side, singing with me or carrying my message of hope to places I have been unable to physically reach. For this, I am eternally grateful.

You have given me so many gifts. I thank you for the privilege of performing for you, through my songs or at my concerts, where your applause lovingly crept into my heart. I thank you for the privilege of writing you as it brought me much clarity, and even though I have been quiet for some time, all the while, the pages of my internal diary have been active. As I have gone deeper into myself in search of my inner soul, my only truth, what I’ve discovered is that my spirit has been rewarded deeply by some of the stories many of you have shared with me through emails or letters, by some of the experiences we’ve had together and also through personal thoughts that were the fruits of your generosity.

Lately, my diary pages have ceased to be internal. I’ve tried to share all I can, deeply and sincerely, in a new written work that I hope will be the answer to many questions that have not been elaborated on or answered as of yet. The ability to write my memoir has reinforced the fact that although material compensation is necessary for everyday living, spiritual rewards are the ones that have truly allowed me to live life, joyously in the way life is meant to be lived – where we live just for the sheer sake of living.

Thank you for opening your hearts to my music. Had you not lent me your ears my songs would be merely dreams. My art has always been pure joy, lovingly created because of you and for you. I hope that my songs and my book will allow you to feel, think, appreciate, question, yearn, and especially, love.

My journey today is not easy. Still, as I write this, I am at peace, and everywhere around me I see and hear harmony. All is as it should be because I know I am incredibly fortunate in so many ways. My dream to create music that moves people as well as my dream to communicate a mission that would change people have been realized. I can say with certainty that I have fulfilled my dreams and today, I cannot ask for more. This enables me to move forward even now, with hope, and without fear.

My mission began as a dream and became a reality because of you. Today my voice is no longer a lonely cry; it grows everyday through your voices. It doesn’t matter whether we’ve had the opportunity to smile face-to-face or not, each one of you have been and will always be a blessing to me.

My physical history may come to an end, but I am confident my existence will leave its mark for the future benefit of many women. I am comforted that the light from my life will shine on many more families. Today I have not lost this battle , no pain is felt in vain, because I know my struggle will help overcome a greater battle, that of early detection and prevention against this terrible enemy. The essence of life lies in transcending through others. By offering the value of my experience and my struggles I hope to lift up many more voices. We still have not reached the goal, but I know we are closer to it every day.

Now it is up to you to continue with our mission. I hope with all my heart that my love for life has caught on and that you will become a means of communicating this message to many people whose lives may be saved. Please, recognize this opportunity you have now to stop an enemy that can end your life. Don’t give up! The road ahead is a long and this is a battle worth fighting.

“… When the only sound that breaks the silence is your beating heart,
In between the pounding you will find who you are. . . ”

Con amor

Soraya

 Like all things in life that are truly rare, we only can touch for a moment...God gives us each one the gift of life, what we do with that life is our gift to God. Soraya so pleased God. Soraya's example makes me embarrassed that I have not done more to fight the good fight for other. From this point forward I will try. Soraya touched and continues to touch our hearts as she touched the strings of instruments, sometimes strong and fierce and at other with the light touch of a poet. For all of those who miss her, carry on her work in her name and you will feel that touch again.

 When I had first come across the video, Como' Seria', by Soraya I can't explain it but all I could do was listen. Understand this,...I don't speak enough Spanish, or do I understand most. Yet for some reason Music always caught my attention when there's some heart felt meaning behind it,...and again as I said,...I became enchanted by Soraya Beautiful voice. Well then(feb/05),...unti l June,08,... did I finally remember the song title, and found who sang it in the video(Soraya). Again my Heart stoped with just a short gasp of breath,...? What was this,...? It read,...Soraya 1969-2006. Just coming to realize that this Beautiful, Gifted, Angel had sent me that song, and at a time my heart needed healing. I thank You,...Soraya. I may have never stood in front of you on stage while you performed,...yet I feel apart of you is with me because of your wonderful music,...that you gave so freely with all your Heart. Please hug my Loved One's, and tell them I Love Them & Miss Them. "ANGEL SORAYA"

 Es tan dificil de creer que una persona tan valiosa, talentosa y a mi parecer de pronto desperdiciada, ya no este con nosotros. Recordemos que antes que los dizque bombazos de la mercadotecnia: Ricky Marketing y Shafira, estuvo Soraya muy por encima de ellos y sin tanto bombo y platillo logro conquistar el mundo. Ella fue una artista en toda la extensión de la palabra y realmente se le extrañara, aunque en contraparte nos ha dejado un gran legado musical.
Por Siempre Soraya!!!!

 Hola. Como a todos los amantes de Soraya, su muerte me conmovio y cada vez que la escucho me pone muy triste saber que no esta mas fisicamente entre nosotros. Queria preguntar si alguien sabe si existe un banner de ella para hacer donaciones a su causa de lucha contra el cancer. Para que su muerte no haya sido en vano, quiero ponerla en algunos sitios web y que la gente tome conciencia. Gracias.

 Today is March 10th 2008 and just a few hours ago I heard the sad news that Soraya had passed away on May 10th 2008. I was shocked and devastated and strickened with disbelief. I met Soraya in the third grade! Even at the tender age of eight, she was beyond her years. To me she was my bestfriend, and I will keep her in my heart forever!
