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.

My deepest sympathy goes to Mrs. Trouten's family and friends. She always brightened everyone's day with her sparkly shoes and vibrant outfits. I will never forget how much fun we had writing "une histoire bizzares" when she would substitute for our French class. Mrs. Trouten always had a cheerful attitude and was wonderful to have conversation with. She will truly be missed.

My deepest condolences to Mrs, Trouten"s loved ones, Yours is a cutting loss.

Janice Trouten was that one cherished teacher for me. She inspired me and encouraged me to grab a star! I knew her in her middle life, and, of course, I was just a teen-ager. We found out that we shared a love of good writing and foreign languages. She had so much love to give. She made me see the best in me. I wanted to grow up to be just like her ... vibrant and sophisticated!

I thought so highly of her, even years later, that I chose to pay tribute to her, in my daughter's middle name, Hillary Janice Mullins. Mrs. Trouten never even knew.

I hope she will know how much she was loved and appreciated! I'm so very sorry for your loss.

This is the child named for you, Mrs. Trouten. I wish you love and light!

My condolences to Janice's close friends and family. We taught together at North Ridgeville High School. I loved her style. At LeRoy's funeral, she wore a beautiful flowered dress in bright colors--she said LeRoy would not like seeing everyone in black, sad colors. Now it's your turn, Janice, to brighten up heaven.
