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.

Querida Marie, si bien estoy muy triste por tu pronta partida, pero Dios tiene sus propósitos con cada vida y la tuya marcó una definición musical en mi vida. Siempre estaré muy agradecido por tu talento y por lo que significaste en mi niñez y juventud. Se que esto no es un adiós, si no más bien un hasta pronto.
Abrazos al cielo y siempre estarás en mi corazón.
Alex.

Each song she used to sing brings back memories of many meaningful moments in my life....
Wonderful voice, touching lyrics and songs which will be forever in my heart...
May she be singing now up there with the angels!

As an image thinker and introvert so many of my real life experiences, be it happy or sad, were turned in to my personal videoclips in my mind. It helped/helps me to cope with things. I am so grateful for that. I have been a fan from my childhood till today and will be forever. Thank you for that. And thank you for inspiring me in my own singing wanting to sing your songs.
Rest in peace. You are and always will be the greatest.

Roxette marcou a minha infância, minha adolescência e minha transição para à vida adulta, teve um marco tão profundo na minha vida que senti tanto após a declaração de falecimento da cantora. Ela, sem dúvidas, marcou todos no final dos anos 90 e a entrada do III Milênio. Eu sinto muito, pois ela tinha a melhor performance de qualquer cantora que existe e possa existir. Ela deveria ser maravilhosa em pessoa tmabem!
Em 2015, foi lançado um álbum, eu pensei que eu poderia ter a oportunidade de assistir oShow dela, não para reviver minha infância, mas para escutar a maior voz mundial. Em memória de Marie! ??

Roxette a bercé ma jeunesse: la voix magique et puissante de Marie a fait de ce groupe un de plus mythiques de la fin du XXieme siècle. Quelle énergie sur scène! Quelle émotion aussi! Je n'ai malheureusement pas eu la chance de pouvoir la voir en concert, en France comme ailleurs. Ce sera un regret éternel dorénavant! A l'annonce de la maladie, cela a été un déchirement, un coup de poignard! Aujourd'hui, mon coeur saigne, je compatis aussi.
Je veux honorer ici la force morale, l'amour de la musique et l'énergie qui caractérisaient Marie Fredriksson.
Il ne nous reste plus que ses prolongements d'elle, à savoir les vidéos des concerts, ses nombreuses photos et les merveilleux albums musicaux que nous avons tous! Ce soir, ma seule consolation est de savoir que sa voix résonnera à jamais sur les ondes et dans L' Histoire musicale internationale!
Ce soir, la ''Queen of Rain'' c'est elle!
A tout jamais, ''Dressed for success''!!

There aren't enough words to express the sadness I'm feeling. Her sweet voice will be missed terribly. My condolences to Marie's family, Roxette and every single person she touched in her much too short life. R.I.P. Marie

Siempre los he escuchado la voz de Marie me voy ncanta y siempre me encantará. Gracias por tanto un gran beso al cielo.

Deep condolences for the lost.. Marie is one of the best singers in the world. I love almost all the songs she sang. Even my millenial daughter can sing her songs, better than me. It proves that Marie & Roxette can reach the heart of every generation..
I watched Roxette's shows twice in Jakarta. The second one was with my daughter who were still in highschool by then...but surprisingly can sang all the songs and the lyrics correctly..
May you Rest In Peace, Marie.. Your songs will be always in our hearts ??

Su perdida me causó mucha angustia y melancolía...sus temas musicales me acompañaron en toda mi adolescencia y hasta hoy en día...
Depende mi estado de ánimo siempre la escuchaba, si estaba triste ponía sus temas y si me sentía feliz también.. su vos me transportaba y me hacía sentir siempre a gusto.
Tube gracias a dios la fortuna de poder ir a su show en su gira del 2012 estando embarazada de mi hija y lo tengo como uno de los momentos más felices de mi vida.
Solo tengo para decirte muchas gracias por todos es momentos que pase con tus temas y que quedaran siempre en mi corazon y recuerdos como los mejores de la época.
Espero ya puedas descansar en paz❤❤❤

I‘ve made a lot of memories with Roxette along the way. I‘m 22 now and Roxette was my first favourite band. I was addicted to dance and sing along to the songs in the car and I was just overly happy to get my first album at a age of 6. Unfortunately, it was not possible for me to afford a ticket to get to a concert and now you’re gone - can‘t believe it. Marie got me trough my first heartbreaks, all the sad times that I hadn’t get through without that great music. I am so thankful that I was allowed to grow up with your music and that you have accompanied me through every high and low. At a age of 21 I got my first Roxette Tattoo and I‘m so proud to wear it forever. You showed us that we should support the fighters against cancer and never think of giving up ! Nevertheless, the traces of your life, Marie, will stay here forever and we will always remember you. Your music will always stay in our hearts.
Your deeply praying fan

Suas músicas foram trilha sonora de momentos importantes em minha vida. Uma perda irreparável para o mundo da música, mas deixa sua marca na história musical mundial e portanto será sempre lembrada. Descanse em paz, Marie!!!
