  • Bless Winnie.... Oh and you were one of the zimmer :o

  • God Bless your spirit Winnie, and the Zimmers. It is truly hard to be recognized in the music world if one does not fit the "mold", however Wisdom allways overcomes adversity!!!!!

    Thank You-are guideing Spirits

  • you have got to believe that winnie is in heaven ROCKIN OUT with john jimmie and a few other greats i love you winnie

  • Aww she was amazing!

    Its really sad :( but 101 was a brilliant age.. RIP Winnie <3

  • R.I.P Winnie. Thank you for this great tribute to her :)

  • 101 years old...great age!

  • RIP Winnie , Brightened up all she touched.

  • 101 blimey!

  • wow 101 is an amazing age Very Inspirational indeed : )

  • :( RIP Winnie, I hope I'm as lively and funny as that when I'm 101!

  • Thank you for posting this, Peter! I remember seeing the Zimmers on the Tonight Show, and I just loved them. They, and Winnie in particular, are an inspiration. When we get to see vibrant older people still learning and having adventures, it changes younger people's ideas about aging. And how fun to see Winnie visit the Pacific and to see the Tonight Show backstage. The documentary was correct: it's the biggest talk show in the US. Has been for decades. Will keep spirited Winnie in my heart.

  • Bless Winnie....R.I.P

  • Very Inspirational. Just shows that we should never give up. RIP Winnie and God  Bless You.

  • God love her. Not to force my beliefs on anyone but she lives on. The body may die but the energy of the spirit continues on to higher level and they are always near. Healing to her family, it must have been very sad to lose her. It sounds a cliche but she is literally just a thought away and she is there.

    Love +Light xxxx

  • what a lovely video..... thanks G man

  • r.i.p. Winnie very sad.

  • I love them! I love Winnie; and I love you Peter! I can't help but think that you and youtube played a huge part in the success of the Zimmers. Winnie said these were possibly the happiest years of her life. How wonderful. How wonderful to be that active at 99(or even 101). She also had many wonderful friends where she lived.

    Thank you for sharing these wonderful memories!

  • RIP Winnie.

  • Fantastic tribute :) Thank you Peter.

  • a fine tribute...

  • That so nice she got to do all that stuff before she died... great age to live to aswell, nice video peter

  • Peter, What a tribute, Thankyou!

  • Very sad news. It's nice she lived such a long life, though, and that her final years included the joy of the Zimmers, and the many new friends the band brought into her world. We all should be so blessed to pass only after making such a mark on the world!

  • God bless Winnie and care for her. What a wonderful experience for her, to fly again, to have the treat of the Zimmer-lution in all it's excitement and hubbub, to cap off the long, wonderful life she had. And friends like you, Peter, I'm sure made it ever more sweet. Thank you for sharing this.

  • I live in Canada and had never heard of the Zimmers until now. I took a look at your clip from the jay Leno show. However, I wasn't sure if I saw you in the clips, Peter. Anyway, it was rather entertaining!

  • Winnie was brilliant

  • how wonderful, a warm tribute, and yet poignant....

  • Dear Peter,sorry to hear that Winnie has left us. She was cool and i liked her. I also have followed you from the beginning. Kepp up the good work. I¨m from Stockholm in Sweden an is an of your youtubers.

  • Sad - RIP Winnie

  • This is a fine tribute, Peter. Winnie was an amazing lady, and she took life for everything it was worth. Even as she passed the century mark, she simply refused to grow old. Let's grieve not for the loss, but instead celebrate her remarkable life, while she smiles down on us all.

    Moosie

  • Very respectful Peter.

  • ...and I remember watching that vid about the 'My Generation' recording studio stint...wow!

  • (((((((((((Peter))))))))))))))­))))

    **Thank you** for sharing your loss with your YouTube family, even though we never met this person or knew them. Because it is a loss for you, it is therefore a loss for all of us who follow your posts. If you grieve, we all grieve. She was most certainly a bright light in your life, and she will be missed.

  • Fabulous tribute!

    May she rest in peace.
