Kiersta Anne Kurtz-Burke

Kiersta and I met when we were both going through some medical challenges. She was always kind and helpful. I am so sad to hear that she passed. Sending her family peace and love at this sad time.

I knew Kiersta well, when she and Jayme were young and their mom and I went to law school together. She was a spitfire and she was also kind and loving. Her flame will never be extinguished. She was all the things set forth in her obituary and more. My deep deep love and condolences to Jayme, Ted, Justin and her sons. Your loss is insurmountable- I can´t begin to imagine the pain of living without her. Know that those far away, like me, embrace and pray for and with you. Nan Casey

Dr. Kurtz-Burke (Kiersta) was a fabulous resident. She and her husband were in our program at a time where their stability and fabulous work ethic help helped us grow and attain success. She was a true leader, was an amazing clinician, and was loved by her patients. I never worried about being on call with her, because she had everything "locked down tight." Truly one of my best pupils. Peace and love to you and your family.

Dr K was my mentor during PM&R residency. She treated me like family. Even long after residency we kept in touch and shared a passion to help musicians access healthcare. She was the kindest person I knew. I will miss her. My prayers and condolences to her family.

Justine, Terese and I were saddened to read about the passing of your amazing wife yesterday and extend our condolences to you and your family. It may be odd, but I want to thank you for the most beautiful and loving obituary we have ever read. What an amazing person Kiersta was. We can imagine her passing has left a huge void in your lives. When my mother died, it occurred to me that the bad news and good news is that I would always miss her. After reading Kiersta´s obituary, we are hopeful...

Remembering a fabulous childhood friend who became an even fabulouser woman! Kiersta and me when she was 11.
