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.

Tack Marie för att din röst och dina texter på Efter stormen var min vän och tröst i en stormig tid i mitt liv. Du gav mig lugn och styrka. Det vill jag idag önska din familj i deras stora sorg och förlust. All kärlek! Anna

Tack för musiken- växte upp med den. Den lever kvar med oss! Vi spelade också "Tro" på min mammas begravning..så fin! .Igår här i Grekland hyllades du i programmet The Voice" av Helena Paparizo som sjöng " It must have been love" och "Sparvöga" ...fick en tår i ögat och kände mig så stolt över att vara från samma land. Sov gott! Kalo taxidi! Therese

Mein Smartphone klingelt mit "Kom vila hos mig" und geweckt werde ich mit "Yeah, yeah, yeah" (von dressed for success). Deine Musik hilft mir, wenn ich antriebslos, traurig oder glücklich bin. Danke.
Ich bin sehr traurig, dass du schon gehen musstest. Du bist in meinen Gedanken und in meinem Herzen. Meine aufrichtige Anteilnahme gilt deiner Familie.

Seit 30 Jahren bin ich dein Fan, liebe Marie, du hast mich begleitet, mit deiner Musik, mit deinen Auftritten, den Zeitungsartikeln....Meine erste Kassette mit "It must have been love" aufgenommen aus dem Radio, da es in der DDR schwer war an Material heranzukommen, sie war mir mein größter Schatz, dann der Fall der Mauer und alles konnte passieren, habe deiner Lieder alle auswendig gelernt und mit dir gesungen in voller Hingabe, Konzertbesuche, ich war im Fanclub, die erste Ostdeutsche :), mein Zimmer war voll von Postern, jeden Schnipsel hab ich gesammelt, habe Schwedisch gelernt, ich hatte den gleiche Haarschnitt, die ähnlichen Klamotten im Teenageralter, in den Sommerferien sind wir jedes Jahr nach Schweden gefahren, nach Halmstad und Stockholm z.B. um zu sehen, ob ich dich vielleicht treffe, in Konzerten stand ich immer in der ersten Reihe, Marie du warst und bist mein Idol, ich habe dein ganzes Leben verfolgt und du warst in meinem Leben immer präsent. Zu meiner Hochzeit ließen wir "Perfect Day" spielen, gerne hätte ich dich persönlich dabei gehabt. Das letzte Konzert was ich von dir gesehen habe, hat mich schon traurig gestimmt, weil es so weh tut zu sehen, wie jemand um sein Leben kämpft und dieser Krebs alles kaputt macht, Marie, du hast immer gekämpft und nie aufgegeben, warst eine so starke und schöne Frau. Du bist mein Vorbild und ich bin dankbar so viele Songs von dir zu besitzen, die ich mir immer wieder anhören kann. Sie werden mich auch weiterhin begleiten. In großer Dankbarkeit und Liebe von deinem Fan Antje an Marie. 1000 Tränen fließen..

The greatest voice, the greatest heart, the greatest battle.
We all feel like we have lost a family member because Marie loved all her fans who she included as part of the Roxette family.
She will remain forever the voice of a generation, the voice behind the soundtrack of our lives.

I fell in love with you from the very first moment I heard your voice and saw you on Roxette's music videos. Your angelic, emotional voice pierced through the core of my heart and soul and made a home there. I feel very lucky and blessed to have seen you perform live in Greece back in 2011.
You will always live in our hearts through your beautiful songs.
It will always be love with you and it will never be over.
Rest in piece, Marie.
Thank you for the emotions...

Liebe Marie, deine Musik hat mich mein Leben lang begleitet. Das Beste was mir je passiert ist, Roxette am 28.6.2015 in Dresden einmal live zu erleben. Dieses Konzert wird für mich unvergessen bleiben. Ich hoffe Per und seine Band werden die Erinnerungen an Dich noch lange aufrecht erhalten. Roxette darf nicht sterben! Danke für deine wundervolle, einzigartige Musik -danke für Alles! Mein herzliches Beileid und viel Kraft an die Familie in den schweren Stunden des Abschieds nehmens.
