Vill säga ett stort tack till dig och för din fantastiska musikalitet. Din musik och din sång har berört mig många gånger till tårar., men även till att stärka sig själv. Jag kommer fortsätta att lyssna på din musik och minnas. Tack och vila i frid.
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.

Goodbye Marie. Thank you for everything.
Un abbraccio forte alla famiglia. Grazie Marie, sarai sempre parte di noi. Abbiamo visuto la nostra gioventu' ascoltando i vostri dischi meravigliosi. Ricordi belissimi! ....era inverno, nevicava, noi tutti in casa, c'era il radio acceso e la tua doce voce...Fading like a flower...E stato solo l'inzio.....e le vostre canzoni erano sempre acasa mia, nelle nostra vita. Rest in pace Marie!....da lontano vi siamo vicini....io e la mia famiglia. Grazie!
Dear Marie
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your music throughout the years. Your voice has been a constant throughout my life and so many of my memories have your music as the soundtrack. I’ve always been a huge fan and will still remain one. I’ve even created two little Roxette fans in my girls ages 10 and 8 so I just know your music will live on.
Dear Marie’s family,
I have been a big fan of Marie and Roxette since I first heard “The Look” when I graduated college in 89. I have loved their music from then up til “It Just Happens”. When I had a good day, pop in a song like “Fireworks” it would cheer me up. If I needed a good cry I popped in “Never Is a Long Time”. If I wanted to jam I popped in “Fading...”Marie’s voice always moved me she had such a strong but also angelic voice. She will be not not only mine but many other fans icon and she will be sadly missed. Heaven has gained another angel. My condolences go to her family and to Per Gessel. Roxette wont be the same. RIP Marie, ty for the music ?
Dear Marie, what an Idol you were! Your voice will be forever in my heart, you faded like a flower on earth, but in the Kingdom you will have a Joyride. So much love for you, rest in peace
Dear Marie,
Too young and many struggle but now you don’t have to fight anymore. You were a great artist and person, being loved and you have given many people warm and strength with you good and positive thoughts. I am very sad and shocked that you are gone, Roxette was my childhood, I grew up with it. In fact, when I was a child I always thought that your name was Roxette!:)
But you have changed many hearts and people soul.
My dear, our love for you never dies and I want to thank you for all what you have done for us.
Many loves!
Jord
my condolences to her family and to Per,
i love their songs
even if Marie is dead, they live on
On Tuesday, family and friends wrote me messages about the news. We were shocked and sad. The shock is gone, the sadness remains... I know it will linger on for a while but the lovely memories will help to feel better. It was the first news eve that it is still in my mind: we were listening to the year's top hits and recorded them on cassette. "The Look" came third on that one and made it straight into my heart. From this moment on, I only allowed Marie and Per to enter my cassette or CD player.
I love the way Marie sang, the way she moved and brought power onto every stage. She even made me learn Swedish (I admit, there's not much left without practice)!
I am very grateful I could see her in 3 shows, the last one in Dresden - and I felt it would be my last chance to see you Marie! Now you are wherever so many beloved people have gone before... One day I will join the Joyride.
Life was and will always be better with Roxette music in it. Alive, Real, consoling and much more... condolences to Marie’s family and friends in this terrible time. Rest In Peace you were a warrior that fought a excruciating battle. Love always
My condolences go out to Marie fredrikson-Gessal family at this hard time.
Marie & per (Roxette) music entired my life around 1993 I first heard the look on the radio on my way to high school .. and from then on I wasn't a massive fan but I liked Roxette Better then Abba & I would listen to them whenever I had a sparetime..
Ok I'm here to say rip Marie
Tack Marie för allt! Tack för din musik, din röst, din styrka, din omtanke. När jag var 12 år, på 90-talet, var jag svårt sjuk i anorexi och när min pappa förstod hur nära döden jag var bestämde han sig för att utan min vetskap, via bekanta, försöka få fram ett brev till Marie (som har varit min stora idol sedan jag var 7) med en försynt förfrågan om hon orkade skriva några rader till mig. Jag minns hur jag låg i sjuksängen när min pappa kom in med ett stort paket till mig. Jag öppnade och inuti fanns ett ofantligt fint, stärkande och omtänksam brev till mig från Marie samt en mängd personligt signerade skivor och bilder. Jag blev så otroligt glad och rörd och ditt fantastiska sätt att bry dig om de som är svaga och visa mig att det fanns godhet i världen gjorde att jag bestämde mig för att kämpa för att bli frisk och arbeta med att hjälpa människor. Du räddade mitt liv och jag har sedan den dagen alltid kämpat för att alltid göra gott. Idag är jag 35 och du är fortfarande min stora förebild. Jag blev förkrossad över beskedet om din död. Du kommer alltid att leva kvar inom alla oss som älskat dig och din musik och din röst kommer att fortsätta skänka tröst och styrka. Jag är så glad att jag fick se dig lysa så starkt även efter din mest akuta sjukdomstid. Särskilt tack för din underbara soloturné men "Nu" och en oförglömlig Roxettekonsert i hällregn och blåst på Sjöhistoriska. Din utstrålning och din kärlek gjorde oss i publiken varma och lyckliga mitt i ovädret. Så kommer jag att minnas dig, som den klart lysande stjärnan även när det är mörkt runt omkring. Tack och vila i frid!
From Bayern (Germany) on 12/14/19 at 7.42 a.m. When I found out about Maries dead on Tuesday afternoon, I was very dismayed. I have been listening to Roxette since childhood, and her music has shared some life events in my life. now I have to say goodbye to great artist, singer and fighter. Rest in peace Marie. Thank you for everything. You will always be in my memory .
Dear Marie, Thank you for entering My World, My Love, My Life. You will always remain there. God rest your soul. Dana N
