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 have loved Roxette since the first time I heard "The Look." I remember sharing my "Look Sharp" cassette with my friends at school. Roxette was such a great band, and Marie's voice was absolutely amazing. I now have a 12 year old daughter, and she loves their music also. Marie was the voice of a generation, and she will live on in future generations. Heaven gained a new angel, and she will be missed by many. Sending love and peace to you... Nicole

Ich werde dich und deine Musik vermissen. Du hattest eine außergewöhnliche Stimme und eine besondere Art eure Songs zu interpretieren. Wir werden uns immer an die Konzertbesucher erinnern. Der Auftritt bei den "Night of the Proms" in Dortmund wird für mich unvergessen bleiben. Du hast auf einem Stuhl gesessen weil du nicht stehen konntest, und man hat dir die Spuren deiner Krankheit deutlich angesehen. Trotzdem hast du ein hervorragenden Auftritt geboten. Du hast zum Ausdruck gebracht das du für und durch die Musik lebst. Und deine Musik ist unsterblich. RIP

Ah Marie!!!! I cannot talk about my childhood and my teenage without mentioning how much your songs made part of my life!!! And they keep doing this until nowadays, bringing me back to the memories of the good times that were the 80's/90's!!!! Some passions, many happy moments and more and more desire to learn the English language were rocked by your hits!!!! I am so grateful for you and Roxette for making me so happy when I listen to your songs and watch the music videos!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Dear Marie How could I begin to put into words what you mean to me. I have been a fan since the beginning and after Roxette when once again you went out on your own. I was lucky enough to see Roxette here in LA at Zuniversal Amphitheater. Front row. You touched me with your beautiful and powerful voices, beauty and energy. We are only 5 Years apart in age. I am happy that you had a lovely life with Family and friends. You are already missed and will never be forgotten. Heaven has gotten another angel. I will always Love you think of your fondly. Singing along with you as long as I am NBC able to. Your Famiky will be ok and lucky as we all are to have had you in our lives. You v always cared about everyone and gave so much Love. My heart is broken. I Love You Always Marie always No more pain you can now rest

Com certeza uma voz que ficará guardada eternamente em nossos corações. Belas canções interpretadas com amor e talento.

Com certeza um dos melhores shows da vida! Marie, obrigada por suas canções e pelo seu sucesso. Você fará falta, muita falta. Descanse em paz. Com coração triste, forte abraço.

Roxette me hizo la vida. Me enseño a enamorarme. A disfrutar los grandes momentos A soñar que cantaba mientras estaba acostado en las sillas del restaurante de mis padres. Ahora que Marie se ha ido, veo a la vida de otra manera. Marie me despierta. Me enseña que la vida es frágil y fugaz. A vivir más intensamente los momentos que yo pueda crear. A intentar cantar con la misma imaginación del niño acostado en esas sillas. Sí, Roxette me ha despertado. Y espero nunca tener miedo de volver a enamorarme. Marie te has adelantado. Yo iré más tarde. Aún tengo cosas que hacer.

I am so saddened by Marie's premature departure. Hers was a life full of joy and ome that also sparked happiness in others. Dangerous, So far away and Spending my time marked a very important period of my formative years. Youe beautiful soul and voice will now sing to all of us up there, next to the angels. May God receive you with open arms. Love, forever.

A great loss for all, it is a shame what happened, but now it is in a better place where you can rest. He has left a great treasure that are his songs and his wonderful voice that will always be remembered with love and nostalgia. Until forever, Queen of the rain

Rest in Peace Marie. Gonna miss that petite woman, barefooted and singing to her hearts delight. My teenage years were awesome cause had the sound of Marie and Per on the radio to get me through those awkward years. Forever grateful for her incredible vocals and sound. Sleep in peace Marie, like many before you didn't think we would be saying goodbye so soon. Thank you for the music, you will be forever in our hearts and minds.

Not only Marie Fredriksson, but also the Roxette group, accompanied us with a large part of our lives. We regret that we could not be part of the last concert in Prague until doctors recommended Maria to stop performing. A great brave warrior, who had hard time in her life and a singer with unmistakable and beautiful voice that everyone recognized, barely hearing the first tones, had gone forever. Your songs, like those of Roxette, will remain in our hearts forever. We send our condolences to the whole family and also to Per Gessle from the Czech Republic to Stockholm. Things Will Never Be The Same and We Listen To Your Heart Forever. Martin, Lukáš and Jiřina

Dearest Family and Friends of Marie, Some of my best musical memories growing up were of Per and Marie and their incredible music. I carried those memories with me to adulthood and still treasure the music. It pained me today to read that we'd lost another beautiful spirit in this world, but the recordings will keep Marie with us forever. With great love and respect to you each and to Marie's memory, Shali ??❤??
