RUTH CONTRERAS CORPUZ BALCH

Mrs. Balch was my Spanish teacher from 1974 to 1977. I speak spanish fluently all these years later and owe it all to Mrs. Balch. Gracias y nos vemos algún día.

Aunt Ruth was always so kind and generous to me. I was so thrilled that she made a special trip to Indiana just to meet my triplets. I Loved you so much you will be missed.

Mrs. Balch was my first year Spanish teacher at Sanger High School (late 1970's). I remember her clearly. She smiled while teaching and she made learning Spanish easy. She was a very nice lady. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

On behalf of Michael and myself, we're saddened to hear of Ruth's passing. Gama and I were both young when he was diagnosed, and she was a wonderful advocate for us and always there when we needed her. Crisis never intimidated her. She would just roll up her sleeves and take the world head on. I wish she knew that Michael is an Orthodox Jew now in Rabbinical School in New Jersey. I know that she would have been so proud of him. Best regards to all the family.
