We'd like to let all dear friends of Mieke van Dijk know that after a short illness and admission to the RAH, Mieke passed away peacefully on Thursday, 3rd September.

She had a wonderful group of women friends with her at all times during her last week on this Earth and Kaz and Caroline were with her during her final passing.

Whilst her death has created an understandable sadness and huge loss in the community, Mieke was most clear that she wanted a 'Party Celebration' at Diverse-City after she was gone.

So we are inviting all who knew Mieke to come and celebrate her life and lets's fill the room with happy memories, pink or rainbow outfits, love and laughter.

Canapés will be provided and the bar will be open to purchase drinks.

If you have photos with Mieke, we'd love to include them in a photo reel on the day, so please send them to Sue@Diverse-City.com.au by 18 September.
