I'd like to express my heartfelt condolences to those who will miss Este most: her children, grandchildren and other family. She has been a true leader in nutrition science and a role model for many, both for women and for men. I met Este in 1999 during a PhD tour from Wageningen University, and she made an open invitation to all of us to come to her group for a postdoctoral period after completing our PhD. That yielded 4 responses (Hilda, Machteld, Tiny and I), and I was lucky enough to spent ~2 years in Potchefstroom with my husband and 2 children. Este was still heading the CEN at that time. She did that with all of her energy, always equally optimistic and cheerful, with plenty of humor and a kind word for everyone. Dear Este, rest in peace!
