You will always remain.
In my mind. In my eyes. In my heart. In my skin. In my bones.
Always.Again.
…there is a light that never dies…
You are the light.
Thank you Dolores.
Thank you.Thank you.
Take care of us.
Mi corazón llora por tu ausencia, mi amada compañera. Se que sera breve, pues pronto nos veremos. Me llenaste de esperanza y alegría. Deseo volver a abrazarte. Ya queda menos. Mi dulce voz.
Dolores, hoy tu nombre coge mucho sentido con tu marcha, porque con tu muerte desaparece la opción de ver toda la fuerza que desprendías en cada concierto. Porque tu marcha se lleva esas vacaciones de Benidorm de 1996 cuando cantaba Free to decide a grito pelado, o esa espera en la papelería del barrio para comprar los libros de texto que me hiciste amena con el mítico Zombie. También se lleva esas veces que me ponía al máximo Promises para motivarme antes de un examen o una cita con alguien especial, o esos momentos que no me quería nada y tu Ode to my family me hizo ver que no estaba solo; sin olvidarme de aquella permanencia dramática del Real Oviedo del 97 en la última jornada tras ese derby con el Gijón que no paré de escuchar a tope Salvation o, cuando peor estaba, me inyectaba de moral y optimismo con Just my imagination. Esa canción siempre quedará ligada a aquella Copa del Estu del 2000 cuando era single en las radios nacionales y que dediqué a mis amigos en un programa de videoclips de una tele local.
Dolores, contigo te llevas muchos de mis mejores recuerdos de la adolescencia, y ya te hago saber que una plaza de mi futuro Top10 2018 será tuya. Desde hoy ya sólo me quedará tu música como recuerdo, y ese sabroso pastel de arándanos que probé gracias a ti hace ahora 23 años.
Hasta siempre Dolores O’Riordan
Tu étais mon artiste préféré depuis 25 ans. Je t’ai vu en spectacle 7 fois à Montréal. Ta voix me manqueras. Je t’aime
Thanks for the music.
The world is missing you already farewell beautiful!
Thank you for performing in Mexico. Thank you for your life!
This is a very bad way to express my love towards Dolores. I believe that all fans would like to show her their real love and admiration when she was alive. Was, it sounds unbelievable to everyone. Through her songs, the Cranberries and our beloved Dolores, has stigmatised my life. I listen to her since 1996 and she always has been my favourite band and artist. Her voice has accompanied all my personal momments. I will never forget get, and will always love her. If she could receive all the love her fans express now, she would be very proud and happy. Until we meet again. Rest in peace our dearest Dolores. Anna Savla from Athens Greece.
Hoje após a noticia de sua morte muitos amigos me deram msgs de sentimentos pois todos sabem o quanto essa pessoa era importante para mim .
Em 1992 ouvi pela primeira vez sua voz .q chamou logo minha atençao misturada a sonoridade da banda the cramberries de que era sua vocalista e alma .
Uma Voz unica , angelical
Me encantei e aos poucos me apaixonei
Estudando as traducoes das musicas e significado dos albuns e sabendo q as letras eram a maioria dela percebi sua personalidade e identificaçao com minha personalidade e cada album a cada 2 anos combinavam perfeitamente com minha vida e situaçoes q vive durante a adolescencia e começo da vida adulta .sonhava um dia de vdd por mais absurdo e distante poder ver , ouvir ate chegar perto q seria uma gloria .
A coisa q mais tenho medo na vida é do ” nunca mais ”
Suas musicas e pensamentos estaram para sempre na minha memoria e coraçao
Desde q me tornei cantor sempre cantei suas cançoes e por mais desconhecidas q fossem para as pessoas aq onde vivo todos gostavam e sempre pedem porq
Eu cantava de coraçao
A primeira cançao q aprendi tocar no violao foi o seu maior sucesso linger
When You re Gone minha favorita
Mas amo tudo q ela cantava
E a ela tmb de todo coraçao
Obgd a todos pelas mdgs
Perdi novamente alguem q eu amava muito
No caso agora alguem distante daq .q nunca estive perto fisicamente
Mas esteve comigo anos e anos aq no meu coraçao e assim permanecera para sempre
Dolores para mim nao era so uma cantora e idolo.ela era a pessoa q pelas entrevistas .letras e personalidade mas parecia comigo no mundo todo E que mais me identifiquei com certesa
Ninguem esteve mais comigo na minha vida nas alegrias e tristesas q ela
Minha maior amiga
Sua voz confortante e maternal
Divina
I love forever Dolores O’riordan
Obrigado por tudo q vc fez por mim
Pela sua musica maravilhosa
Q sempre esta comigo
Descanse em paz
Merci pour cette musique géniale et cette voix inoubliable. Repose maintenant en paix. Julien

RIP my music angel, my condolences for your family and loved ones.

Dolores O’Riordan, i don’t know when I will be able to listen to your songs again without crying like I’m doing right now. How many times these songs helped me to stand up when I falled down? Hor many times these songs made me go on when I wanted to give up? How many times these songs made me feel better? How many times you was my inspiration? THOUSANDS…
Thank you for all my angel, because you are an angel now, i don’t have any doubt about it, We will miss you, but you will be forever alive in our hearts.
God bless you Dolly, Rest in Peace, BEAUTIFUL GIRL—

Dolores quisiera date las gracias desde Galicia una tierra hermana de esa Irlanda que te vio nacer por tantas canciones que pasarán a la posteridad y que llevaremos en el corazón allí donde vayamos.tu pérdida es irreparable pero tu recuerdo será eterno
Dolores canterai lassù tra gli angeli .
La tua voce , tu rimarrai con noi qui .
Ci hai lasciato troppo presto .
Canterai insieme a chi hai amato del mondo della musica .
Ti ricordo ancora nel tuo concerto negli anni 90;
Avrei voluto rivederti .
Anima dolce , forte e fragile . Non ho parole per dirti che ci mancherai .. troppo
Cecilia

Dear Dolores, your death bring me a deep hole but i’m sure we meet again. Go ahead my friend. Will Love you forever. Vander from Brazil
Os bons vão embora mais cedo, triste realidade da vida. Peço a Deus que ilumine a alma dessa pessoa ímpar que foi a Dolores, uma pessoa que vez da sua voz e de suas poesias a salvação, alegria e a serenidade florar em nossos corações. Doce Dolores quão importante foi você para nós, quão difícil é aceitar que tenha ido embora tão cedo, mas obrigado por tudo, por plantar e deixa esse legado de coisas boas em nossas vidas e no mundo.
Te amo pra sempre!!!

Je ne trouve pas de mots pour décrire tout ce que tu représentes pour moi depuis plus de 25 ans.Depuis ton départ il y a ce grand vide,J ai eu la chance de te voir 8 fois en concert,de t embrasser,de faire des photos avec toi ,de t offrir des fleurs,tu as bercé ma fille ,tu fais partie de moi de ma famille ,de ma vie
Aujourd’hui ne me reste que ton autographe, ton médiator, les photos ,les albums ,le son de ta voix…
Repose en paix Dolores
Love
Franck
Dear Dolores
You changed my life….
You gave me strength in the black period in my life.
And I managed to get my life back on track.
Linger was the first song that touched my broken hearth.
You fixed it!
I am forever thankful for that.
Shine in heaven
Love Anko
Dolores, te llevaste una parte de mi alma, sentí morir cuando me enteré y mi mundo se vino abajo.
Estabas conmigo desde los 12 años y ahora en mis 33 siento que pedí a mi compañera, a mi amiga, confidente y consejera. Te amé y te amaré siempre.
Me duele tanto tanto tanto tu partida, aún recuerdo cuando te escribía cartas a Limerick que quizás nunca leíste pero te decía cuanto me hacían feliz tus canciones.
Mi más sentido pésame a tu familia, a tus hijos, tu madre, tu banda y a todos nosotros tus fans que morimos un poco cuando te fuiste.
The Glory, mi último regalo: te amo Dolores!
Rest in peace my lovely Dolores, I will never forget you!
Grazie per avermi accompagnata per un tratto della mia vita.
Ti sia lieve la terra, Dolores. ❤
Dolores, todavía me cuesta tanto trabajo asimilar tu partida. Veía tus tweets, escuchaba tus canciones (con los Cranberries y tus discos de solista también), te veía en vídeos de conciertos y entrevistas y siempre pensaba en lo talentosa, hermosa y genial que eras, fuiste una inspiración para mí desde que tenía 13 años y ahora tengo 25. Siempre me pareciste una gran artista y una gran persona. Tu gente cercana y tus fans te vamos a extrañar mucho. Espero que estés en un mejor lugar, siempre seré tu fan! <3 Y estoy segura que el legado que dejó tu talento seguirá inspirando a más personas, a nuevas generaciones.
Love you so much Dolores, you'll never be forgotten.
Rest in peace Dolores. Thank you for your music.
謝謝這個陪伴在我生活中的聲音。
真希望這是一場夢。

It’s hard to say goodbye… Dolores! I still can’t believe its true that you’re gone. I miss you so much even I’ve never met you in private. You mean so much to me not only by your music, your sweet voice, but also your humanity, philosophy. You toughed me English in your songs, so meaningful, so powerful. You opened your soul to all of us, shared part of you, which will never be gone. You will always live in my heart, in hearts of thousands of your fans and friends, in your music. You are part of my life and always will be. Goodbye Dolores, rest in peace, meet your dad, and find a better world. miss you

Dolores Im miss you so much I will always remember…Tank you
Gracias porque con tus canciones, tu voz y tu estilo formaron parte de mi vida, una gran etapa. Los 90 fueron geniales, pero con The Cranberries serán ahora inolvidables..
Ha sido todo un placer poder escuchar tu musica y tu gran voz, te hechare mucho de menos,espero que los angeles cuiden de ti .un veso.
Con la tua musica hai portato l’amore in un mondo pieno di odio.
Con le tue parole hai portato in tanti di noi, la speranza la gioia che tu cercavi nel tuo silenzio..
Riposa in pace amica cara. La tua perdita è immensa sono a pezzi.
I am deeply saddened by your loss… her music always has taken me to specific moments in my life, it inspired me as an artist, and influenced a whole generation. I’m glad that the world had the chance to feel through her music like I did, and to really appreciate the work of a great artist. My deepest condolences to her family love and sympathy to you all.
I was listening to Loud And Clear and scrolling the web and see the sad sad news! I’m like what? No it can’t be! My heart is shattered in a million pieces but only Dolores knows what she felt deep inside. My condolences to her children and mother. I will miss her dearly but to me her legacy will go on. I will continue to hear her music along with her beautiful voice Our Father supplied her with. Her talent, her gift of having a beautiful voice. Will miss her. May she rest with the angels until Judgement day.
I was listening to Loud And Clear when I heard the sad news that she past away. I was like no! This can’t be true! Only she knew why…Her legacy will continue forever! She is now resting with the angels until Our Father returns. He gave her a wonderful gift, her voice that all of us enjoyed. I will miss her so much but her music will live on.
Une voix, une âme, une pure artiste, un ange qui nous quitte.
Elle a été une étoile filante, brillante de mille feux, nous éclairant de toute sa luminosité, aussi intense que courte.
Pourquoi? Une société qui n’écoute rien des souffrances et des gens ?
Repose en paix Dolores, je suis sûr que là ou tu es c’est beau, comme tu as été magnifique parmi nous.
Listening to a song like “I still do” now makes me shiver
‘Cause if I died tonight
Would you hold my hand, no
Would you understand
And if I lived in spite
Would you still be here, no
Would you disappear
RIP Dolores, you will be missed forever, I still can’t believe you’re really gone.
Thank you so much.
This line is from Everything I said though
You was only with 5 days of life before me. Your music has bring me light & happiness. Your leave from this world has take some of my happiness, but i wish that will help you to get over the river Sticks & so on! You have a lot to offer in the balance of other side. i’ m one of the witness for that.. Have a good trip. We will remember you as one of the light carrier in this dark world. You was a gift for us. Whether our wishes to be a good witness for you! Rest in Peace & Light On for You, our voice of eternity.!
Siento un dolor tan profundo…Para mi se ha ido un ser querido, para mi se ha marchado mi gran amor.Alguien que con su voz me hacía inmensamente feliz. Cuantos maravillosos recuerdos en tantos momentos de mi vida, absolutamente ligados a tu música Dolores, a tu preciosa voz. Lloro por tu pérdida, como nunca hubiera imaginado. Siempre te amaré Dolores.
Sin saberlo fuiste mi compañera en grandes momentos de mi vida, contigo viví mis maravillosos años de diversión, fuiste mi refugio en mi embarazo y mi consuelo cuando las cosas no salían bien, tu música se convirtió en las canciones de cuna, Dreams me unió con uno de mis grandes amores y Cordell es mi alarma diaria desde hace 5 años que el se fue. Fuiste mi inspiración, por ti quería aprender inglés con la ilusión de algún poderror cruzar una palabra contigo, quería aprender a tocar guitarra para tocar y transmitir eso que tu generadas en mi. Me duele tanto saber que llegó tu tiempo de trascender, pero agradezco infinitamente el tener la oportunidad de coincidir contigo, de haber tenido la oportunidad de verte y sentirte en tusu conciertos y de contar con tus discos, oro puro que has dejado para jamás olvidarte. Gracias Dolores simplemente gracias por existir, por ser esa guerrera y fuente de inspiración para muchos. Hasta Siempre
So glad you gifted the world with your beautiful voice and music. Gone far too soon. I’m so happy to have met you. You will be dearly missed.
Dolores, Not forgotten, we will Miss You When You’re Gone but make no mistake, you will Linger, in our Dreams long after.
Thank You for sharing yourself with us all and for proving the beauty and the heart of Ireland.
Dolores O`Riordan (und den Cranberries) danke für viele gefühlvolle und glückliche Momente in meiner Jugend durch Deine Musik. Deine Stimme begleitete mich stets auf meinem Weg und das wird sie auch in Zukunft immer tun. Danke für alles und Ruhe in Frieden, wir vermissen Dich in alle Ewigkeit. Love U forever from Switzerland
Ciao Dolores, grazie per la tua musica.
Le tue canzoni mi hanno accompagnato in momenti unici della mia vita.

Je suis rempli d’une tristesse immense suite à ton départ. Tu es une femme magnifique et une inspiration en tant que grande femme du monde. Ta voix me bouleversais et me boulversera toujours. Mes pensées sont tournés vers tes enfants qui eux perdent le plus précieux d’une vie, leur maman.

And you will fly as an angels around us and in your songs when we here your voice your soul is there too!!! We’ll miss you so much and love you FOREVER our lovely Dolores O’Riordan!!
Liebe Dolores danke dafür das Du durch deine Stimme und Musik mein Leben verändert hast!
Ich hörte dich seit 1997 und es half mir aus vielen schweren und trüben Zeiten in meinem Leben.
Immer wieder stand ich auf und nahm mein Leben trotz der vielen Hürden in die Hand!
Nun bin ich gerade mal 6 Jahre jünger und habe selbst Kinder, noch immer höre ich deine Musik im
Alltag und wann immer mir danach ist!
Völlig schockiert und traurig bin ich über diese schlimmen Nachrichten!
WARUM!!!????
Meine Gedanken und Gebete bei deinen Kindern und deinen Freunden und deiner Familie!
Danke für die schöne Stimme die mich immer noch tief berührt, Ruhe in Frieden Dolores!
Herzliche und traurige Grüße aus Deutschland

Dolorès, le silence de ta présence nous manque, le silence de ta voix en or nous manque
Comment tes enfants, ta famille, tes proches, Noël, Mike, Fergal, nous les fans et tant d’autres, comment allons faire face à ce vide immense.
Nos cœurs sont au spleen et à la mélancolie
repose en paix
love always
Dolores, the silence of your presence we miss, the silence of your golden voice we miss
How do your children, your family, your loved ones, Noel, Mike, Fergal, us fans and so many others, how are we going to face this huge void.
Our hearts are spleen and melancholy
rest in peace
love always
The WORLD Lost it’s Perfect Angel….
A Lovely soul. I really enjoyed Dolores’ voice, especially in a 1994 concert. The moment I heard her song playing in a shop, I wondered, ‘who could that be?’ So unique.
May God be with the O’Riordan clan, and to all who were close to Dolores…. There are elements out there who just cant handle the pure, bright light that people like Dolores bring. That part is too much to take in.
To the family of Dolores and to the remaining band members my only message is to let you know that your music and your words have changed the world forever. You have saved millions of lives and helped me through some very hard times.
Your music connected with me on such a deep level and I am so thankful for you.
May you know that your music will be played forever.
Rest in Peace and just know The Cranberries will live forever!
