Winter was an amazing animal. 

I got to see Winter and Hope when I was a youngster, and now I am 14. 

It broke my heart to hear that, that poor girl passed away :(

She will forever be in my heart. :)

Before her passing, I had always wanted to work with her, and Hope. 

I hope I still can at the least, work with Hope, and all of the precious animals there. 

(I also have a stuffed animal of Winty (Winty is what I used to call Winter :).     )

I got to see winter back in 2017 she was full of life swimming and enjoying the attention she will never be forgotten and will missed

winter was an amazing dolphin. when I was younger, I had always wanted to see her then one day I finally got to see her I got to play with hope as well. but on that same day winter was taken from the tanks and later passed. I waited so long to see her and saw her just in time. winter is a huge part of my life and me and many others will never forget her story. because winter inspires all. - Journey Sanner

How wonderful animals are. They are our brothers in life. They help us in so many ways. We should always protect them.
I worked at Hanger Clinic in Olympia, WA and had the honor of meeting Kevin Carroll, who made Winter's tail.  It was such a wonderful thing to work for a company that helped so many around the world.  I used to watch the live action cameras all the time and loved watching Winter.  I love dolphins and I always felt a connection with Winter.  Life happened and I stopped watching the cameras because of a death in my family and moved to another state.  I just found out that Winter died.  As I cry and think about that miraculous dolphin, I wish I had gotten the chance to go to Florida to meet Winter.  I just wanted to thank Clearwater Marine Aquarium for taking care of Winter and for loving her and being there while she left us.

I met Winter through the Dolphin Tale 1 & 2 movies. Me and my siblings watched this movie on repeat when growing up. We constantly watched her live videos and kept up with her life. She was one of the only things that brought me and my siblings together. She is deeply missed by me and my 3 siblings. ❤️
I saw the 2 movies and loved it. It was inspiring.
I'M MISS WINTER EVERYDAY

My daughters and I visited Winter several times and watched her on the Webcam.  Her resilience was an inspiration.  I still think about the joy I felt when I watched her.  I could have sat and watched her all day!  I miss her and still think of her wondrous beauty and spirit at times.  I have not been back to CMA since her death.
Ciao Winter ci manchi sempre. Spero che tu ti stia divertendo a sguazzare sul ponte arcobaleno.
My daughter was born the same time and grew up watching and reading about Winter. We were able to visit her once. What a remarkable creature! She inspired my daughter and myself. We love you Winter ❤️❤️❤️

For me, Winter's story helped me embrace my differences. There was a time when I struggled to accept parts of myself that didn't fit in with what others expected. But when I saw how Winter overcame her obstacles and continued to live with joy and purpose, I realized that differences can be a source of strength, not something to be ashamed of. Her determination and resilience have been an inspiration in my own life, teaching me to embrace what makes me who I am.

Today, as we remember Winter, I reflect on how her story helped me to accept that being different is not a bad thing. It's something to celebrate, just as she did every day, showing the world that we can all thrive no matter the challenges we face.

Your courage inspired so many people. You are missed Winter.
Winter  will always be inspirational  in my heart  she has touched  me  being the Dolphin she was  she was Lucky to have the  Best Loving Care Team   ln Memory To Cherish  of Winter swimming in Dolphin Paradise

I miss you each time I'm at the aquarium, Winter.  You were such a sweet and playful dolphin.  Your legacy continues to live on as your inspire everyone that hears your story or had the privilege of meeting you or working with you.  I'll love you forever baby girl.  Swim free and be happy with Panama.  
I. First found about about winters death 11 days after it happened I was watching web cams of the tanks and was wondering why she wasn't there I searched up here name to look at pictures and was in denial when I found articles talking about her passing I shut down I cried so much I couldn't eat that day and I cried for weeks after that, I love her so much. When she died I lost a part of myself she will live on in the hearts of people like you and me, thank you for everything winter the inspiration and memory's of meeting you. I love you 💗
I remember when I first heard of her death. I was at work and my stomach sank. I had to excuse myself cause I started crying. I never met her but I have both her movies and love them
