 I was so sorry to hear about Winter's passing.I was devastated when I heard the news of Winter's passing. She was such a playful and happy dolphin. I'll always think of her whenever I see bubbles floating in the sky.

I saw Winter in February of 2021 because I was being bullied for my size and lazy eye. She helped me through it all.

 I am still surprised to see all your new babies ❤️ in the last year BUT I still look for Winter. We lived on Drew St. in Clearwater when Winter came in to the Aquarium.   We visited her often. She helped me through domestic violence, a nasty divorce, and the fact moving back to Canada was a must for my safety.   I love her and always do.   Lynn France.  Hamilton Ontario Canada.

I can’t believe it’s been a year already. I had a good cry thinking about how much you inspired people all over the world and how death took you to soon.  I was one of the lucky ones who got to see you in person. What a miracle you were. I am looking forward to seeing the beautiful garden they are making in your honor. I know CMA is doing everything in their power to keep your memory alive. Swim free with a perfect tail🐬❤️

I also wanted to express that my thoughts are with the amazing caregivers at CMA during this time on the anniversary of losing Winter. They are all doing amazing things to honor her memory there at CMA and to keep her memory alive. Even though I’ve never had the chance to visit, I do follow CMA and I receive the emails and the newsletters. Everything they’re doing to celebrate Winter is so beautiful. I still hope to visit someday to experience it.

I just can’t believe it’s been a year yesterday already that the world lost this sweet little dolphin. I will always regret never having the chance to visit CMA and meeting Winter. It would have been an unforgettable experience to see her in person. But the fact that the world can cherish and honor her memory through the Dolphin Tale movies, through supporting CMA, and by reminiscing on the impact Winter had on the world is just as rewarding. Her memory does live on in those ways and her spirit is the heart of CMA. I love that she impacted so many kids and adults alike in the world through her perseverance. She was a strong little dolphin, and she will forever be missed.

I was devastated when I heard the news of Winter's passing. I followed her life after seeing her in Dolphin Tale. I typically don’t watch family friendly movies but it moved me to tears and I took an interest in her life. She will always be remembered ❤️

Winter fue nuestra inspiración, siempre en nuestro corazones, fuimos dos días antes a verlo con nuestra hija Sofía con autismo.

Happy First 1yr Anniversary to Winter that I miss her I didn't get the chance to meet her up close and when I was in Clearwater FL that I have  the chance to see Winter and Hope at Clearwater Marine Aquarium . I have loved Winter from the 2 Dolphin Tale movies and I always have tears in my eyes when I watched Winter and Hope Accepted in the movie Dolphin Tale 2 that they became friends .

I am so glad that my son and I went to Clearwater Marine Aquarium and got to see Winter.  It was such a joy to watch her swimming and playing.  We had just seen the first movie, which prompted our visit, and so to be there in person witnessing this wonderful creature up close and personal was amazing!  It's hard to believe that visit was nine years ago!  She was such an inspiration to so many people!  You are loved and missed, Winter!
