Remembrance book for Marie Fredriksson

Dear fellow friends, dear fans of Marie Fredriksson, dear Roxette fans, dear kind people in this world,

our friend Marie has passed away on December 9, and many, many people in the world are heartbroken and would like to express their feelings. Not everyone can do so on the social media, not everyone can do so by coming to Sweden and signing the official remembrance book laid out in Stockholm.

We want to collect your thoughts, your grieve, but also your finest memories with Marie here. Please write down what you always wanted to say to her, we will collect each single entry of yours, put them into one single book and send it over to Marie’s family to show them how much she made this world better through you.

Thank you.

[All entries made before January 1, 2020 were taken over for the book. You will still be able to add your messages now but we cannot consider them for the book to Marie’s family anymore as it has been printed by now.]

The Daily Roxette had one copy of the book printed early January 2020 and handed it over to Marie Dimberg, Roxette’s manager and a very good friend of Marie Fredriksson and her family, in Göteborg on January 20, 2020. The printed version of the book is nearly 800 pages thick and it has a white cover. Its title “Tack för allt Marie” (Thank you for everything Marie) is written in silver and red letters on its sleeve.
Here you see some quick photos of the book, sadly there has never been a chance to take proper photos of this one copy as it arrived just before the evening we headed to Göteborg for the “En kväll för Marie Fredriksson” show.

If you are interested, you can download a simplified version (the printed version contains a few more blank pages to separate the chapters, for instance) of the book with all entries right here.
The entries are sorted alphabetically by names, this file is also searchable.
Entries with non-latin character sets are at the very end of the book. Most URLs have been removed as they make little sense in a printed book.

I had the honor to see Marie and Roxette in a concert in São Paulo about 9 years ago. It was a dream come true to be listening to all those beautiful songs I grew up with. Knowing Marie was beating that terrible disease made that moment so much more special, but I could never imagine the battle wasn't over. It's a sad sad day, and she'll leave a void in our hearts... but it conforts me to know she's finally resting, free from all this misery. Thank you Marie for all this amazing work, your presence may not be among us anymore, but your voice will be forever echoing in our minds...

Nunca pude e não poderei expressar o meu amor pessoalmente pois ela se foi. Mas indiretamente ela me ensinou a ser melhor e continuar buscando ser o melhor que posso. Ela me manteve viva e sempre vai me manter. A música é minha vida e ela faz parte disso. Eu a amo e sempre vou amar. Obrigada Marie por ser minha heroína. Meu mundo, meu amor, minha vida.

You were my first cassette tape I had in my walkman. It wasn't until I was an adult, I got to see you both perform live in Brisbane Aus. I don't know what to say, Thank you for being there, bringing your music to special moments in my life which I will hold forever dear. Good bye Marie xoxo

Marie, I was 9 or 10 years old and in my school there was a music presentation; suddenly, a girl danced the song Paint, and since then, you have been part of my life’s soundtrack. In 2011 I was able to listen to you and to see you for the first time live! And in 2012, with a group of friends, I was able to share with you and Per. I have always admired your energy, your strength and when I saw your humbleness and your love, they captivated me. Without any doubt, your music will keep being with me forever. Have a good trip.

Dear Marie, I've been a fan from the very first time I listened to one of your songs on the radio. That was almost 30 years ago when I was just 8. Since then, many of my happiest memories have a lot to do with you and the art you created. Also, without knowing, you have impacted my life in many different ways. I was lucky to meet you on different occasions and your kindness and strength have always touched me. I can't thank you enough for making this world a better place. You will be missed forever.

I have followed and enjoyed Roxette since I first heard them in 1986 as a 7 year old. There music is ever lasting and for me have never aged with the times. They have been an inspiration to so many people across the world and have always been my go to band when I need a pick me up as to speak. Marie, you will be genuinely missed and you have always inspired me to try that little bit harder with everything I do. Condolences to Per Gessle and your close family and friends. Roxette will go on forever in my playlist! RIP and thank you for your contributions! Kindest Regards, Leppy from Australia.
