My deepest sympathies to the friends and family of the precious soul I knew as “Mrs. Trouten”, my high school English teacher.
Never was there a kinder heart and a more dedicated educator. Perhaps this abbreviated quote from Dickens, whose work Mrs. Trouten introduced to me, would be fitting:
"Never, …have I thought of you but as the single, bright, pure, blessed recollection of my … youth. … I … regard your part in my life, …as something ….never to be lightly thought of, never to be esteemed enough, never…. to be forgotten." ~ Charles Dickens, Dombey and Son
God Bless you Mrs. Trouten. You will not be forgotten.
