[Soraya dies in Miami of breast cancer at age 37.](http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060510/en_nm/soraya_dc_3)

Makes me sad…much too young to die. She was lovely. I’m listening to one of her CDs now, “on nights like this”.

She spent a lot of time raising awareness for breast cancer, especially among Hispanic women. Her music will be missed.
