Sending our love to Paul and Emily, and family with the sad passing of a wonderful, loving, caring person.
Mieke was always so friendly and loved a yarn and catch up whenever we crossed paths, the same gorgeous smile she had never altered, although near the end, she must have had a lot not to smile about. A real trooper and my last encounter with Mieke was outside a cafe in Invercargill where she couldn't find a lighter in her handbag to have that good old cigarette, I was so pleased I had one in the truck, happiness plus plus🥰🥰Rest in Peace Mieke

Mieke was a rock for so many of us in the early years of parenthood, and I was privileged to have direct access to her love and support. She would always have “a plan” and a humongous hug. She continued to be that rock for her granddaughters Holly and Charlie as they have grown into amazing young women. It was the little things with Oma, like the stickers on birthday cards and annual Christmas tree decorations. Thank you for sharing her with me - Paul, Emily and Mike. I am sorry I could not make the service but from online it looked like a fabulous celebration of a wonderful woman. Missed, but never forgotten ❤️

Sending loads of love and positive vibes from Australia.
Mieke was such a ray of sunshine.

Mieke was someone who meant the world to us, not in grand dramatic ways but in the quiet, dependable ways that really mattered. She always made us feel welcome and provided a warm and loving home in every way. Mieke had a special way of making you feel loved , she lead with action, care, humour and a strong sense of what was right, and she never asked for anything in return.

We will miss her straight forward wisdom and her steady love. We are grateful for everything she gave us.

Thank you Mieke we will miss you terribly but we will carry your spirit with us forever.

To Paul, Emily, Mike and family our thoughts are with you today.
Dearest Mieke we will miss you.
Rest in peace.
Love Mark and Dhana

To Paul and family, Our thoughts are with you at this very sad time. Our heartfelt love and sympathy to you.

I worked with Mieke about 35 years ago at Wakari Hospital in the Reb ward, where we became friendly, then when i was preganant with my son Blair soon later Mieke was preganant with Emily, we used to catch up at each others house and the kids would play together. Later when you moved to Riversdale we came and visited twice and then we saw you at Kaka Point. Over the years i would send the occasional card but sadly never had a phone number. I will always remember Meike for her honesty, lovely smile and her voice. My sympathy to Paul, Emily and Mike and families, also to her relatives, and friends.

Thinking of you all, as you say goodbye to Mieke - a lovely compassionate lady.

Thinking of you, Emily, Paul, and all the family. Mieke certainly fought the hard battle & gave it her best shot. May she now rest in peace. Love to you all.

An absolute pleasure to have known you Mieka. Thinking of you Paul and Emily ♥️
