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 was shocked to hear the sad news, that Marie left us. I grew up listening to ur music from a very young age, my mother loved Roxette and would have the music playing full blast as she did housework, such wonderful memories. I was lucky to see Roxette in concert in Melbourne, Australia and I was blown away by the performance and vocals. Marie was and always will be a big part of the music world, the music and ur memory will always live on. May you R.I.P Marie with luv Soula kades ❤️

Rest in peace Marie. Your beautiful voice and personality will be missed by so many. Roxette is my favourite band of all time and my teenage obsession! You are so strong and brave to have carried on fighting for so long. My thoughts and prayers are with your family in these sad times. Things will never be the same.

What a sad day is today. I was 13 when I heard Sleeping in my car for the first time. Roxette came to perform in my little town in Italy as a famous Italian music festival took place there. Since then I’ve never stopped listening to their songs. And the best part was to find out their old hits I was too young to know. It was really moving to watch Marie performing on stage after she recovered from her surgery and therapies. She was such an example of strenght, willpower and courage. I cried at every video as she fought to be on stage, but you could feel how performing gave her new energy. And all the love her fans gave her, that was totally deserved. She, as frontwoman of Roxette has been the soundtrack of millions of teens all over the world and she will never be forgotten. RIP Marie.

Today it’s a very very sad day... earth has lost one of the best voices in the world. Marie has started singing in heaven as a new angel singer. She will be very much missed but never forgotten. Her voice and charisma touched so many people. Things will never be the same without Marie. RIP Marie..your music, your voice and your face will be in heart and on mind forever. God bless you. All my sincere condolences to your family.

Descanse em Paz Marie, muito obrigado por sua obra que fez e faz parte da história da minha vida. Seu legado será eterno. Nós nunca vamos esquecer! Roxette e Marie vive!

I bought Look Sharp in 1989 when I was 14. I have loved Marie and Per ever since. Ask anyone who my favorite band was and they knew it was Roxette. I loved watching Marie dance around in music videos and the passion she put into every song. I went to every concert when they came to Australia in Perth. My bedroom doors and school files were covered in Roxette pictures. She brought great joy to my life and many of my friends. The world has lost the voice of a true angel. Though the grief of fans will never compare to what family and friends are going through it is deep and genuine as she has been a huge part of my life. 44 year old police officer cried herself to sleep last night. Love and thoughts to her husband, daughter and son. May these small thoughts Marie alive in your hearts. ❤️❤️

Sending my deepest condolences to the family of Marie. I love her songs and her voice. Will surely miss her but thru her songs she will live on...

My thoughts are we you in this terribly sad moment... I'm a teacher of English in Argentina, I'm 37 years old now, but when I was 10 my father bought me a cassette...its cover read "Roxette". From the moment I listened to Marie's and Per's voices I totally fell in love. They were one of the excuses I had to start studying English. Marie will live in my heart, my mind and my ears forever ❤️

Dear Marie, I can’t even imagine my teenage years without a cassette player with Roxette on... Your music will always be a part of my life and you will be forever in my heart. Rest in peace and sing to the angels ♥️ Love, Claudia

You will always live in our hearts. It will never be the same without you Marie, like we have never been the same since we heard your voice. You have certainly wrote on our hearts with the most beautiful handwriting! What a wonderful soul that lived between us and blessed us with her inspiration, strength, kindness, willingness for life and so many values. Your most beautiful song was your life itself! You will always be remembered. THANK YOU MARIE! Thank you for the joyride, the amazing moments of music you have given us, your great example of strength. We love you for ever. My wishes to your family to stay strong, united and proud. Thank you my great Lady.

Triste de me réveiller avec cette nouvelle ! Triste de savoir qu'une si belle artiste nous quitte aujourd'hui, c'est une page qui se tourne mais le livre n'est pas fini car j'écouterai sans relâche ces chansons qui ont bercés mon enfance, qui m'ont fait rêvé et me feront toujours rêver. Merci pour ta voix Marie, elle raisonnera toujours dans mon cœur.

Dear Mary I could see your enormous stronge on your last concert here in Madrid In that moment We had Lost one of our son before born, and we weren't passing our best time, but like always, your voice and music give me a lot of good sensations and happyness. Thanks for all and I wish you has singings on the Sky for all of them. Allways on my radio car and Heart. No se si me he expresado como quería, solo deseo remarcar la Gran pérdida de Marie y no solo para nosotros sus fans, sino para la música, amigos y familia. Descansa en Paz. Mi canción favorita siempre será Listen yo your Heart.

Dear Marie, thank you for having accompanied my adolescence with your songs, with your voice, with your grit. You kept me company in the car, at school, on the road, in the gym, you were the soundtrack of my first kisses and my first loves. Today I continue to listen to you during the day with my wife, and we are both saddened by your loss. We love you. In this period I fight against my mother's cancer with her, and I draw inspiration from your brave battle, again with your songs, your voice and your grit. She also started listening to you knowing my passion and she loves you. With your heart you are very close, as you always will be with your songs. Continuing to listen to you is like having you here with us again. A big hug to the family.

Du var och kommer vara evigt en stor del av mångas liv. Din utstrålning ,röst din närvaro på scen, va något utöver. En magi. Mina tankar går till din familj o vänner.??. Din o Pers musik gav så mycket också,och kommer fortsätta . Såg dig här i Varberg vid fästningen, din röst när du satte dig ner vid pianot fick en att rysa. gåshud och man bara hörde dig inget runt en . Som Per sa, kommer saker och ting aldrig att vara detsamma. Du vackra Sparvöga flyg ut över ängarna .. Vila i frid..??
