Byron Fuller: I met Karla in 1987 in Washington, DC while we both worked at the U.S.Attorney's Office. We were fast friends and were very close until she moved to Philadelphia. Karla taught me how to the dance, the Electric Slide. Even though she moved away from DC, I was always happy to see her each year when we attended the National Bar Association Convention. I am certainly glad that I saw and talked to her while we were in Toronto. I will pray for you and your family. Kim Kendrick

To Byron and Family, I was so happy to see the love you all had for my friend Karla. She was a bright spot in my life when it was dark. I met her in college. One night while eating pizza in a pub, she whispered asking me to be her friend. I thought it was odd, but I promised I would. She was serious. Unlike myself, Karla believed in herself early on. It's taken me a lot longer. I am so proud that she found true love, friendship and real purpose in you. She searched high and low for it. God bless you for loving my friend. Always...Vicki

I extend my deepest sympathy to Karla's family and friends. I had the privilege and pleasure to work with her for a number of years as one of her NRC regional counsel counterparts until my retirement a decade ago. I remember Karla as one of the most diligent, professional, competent, and good-natured persons I have ever met. She will be sorely missed.

To the fuller family and all who shared her goodness. Karla has been one of the most valuable members of the DFW Parliamentarians for the past 14 years. She was a model student and served in numerous leadership positions. I will miss her. Just for the record, she really wanted to learn parliamentary law so she could be of help to her beloved sorority sisters.

God bless you Karla in Heaven. Karla and I were good friends from age 28-32 when we worked together at the NRC-OGC on H Street. She was such a wonderful person, a true lady. She meant a lot to me during my young life. We both moved away eventually to new adventures. So sorry for your loss.

Karla was invariably conscientious and professional, but in the memory of our shared time at the NRC, what I treasure most is that she was always so kind and gracious. The world has lost a beautiful light. God rest her sweet soul.

I first met Karla in 1985 when she was working in Washington, DC in the Office of the General Counsel. Even though I was only 22 years old, I could tell that Karla was a really special lady. She was very professional, warm, and courteous. We stayed in occasional touch over the years. It was always a pleasure to see or talk to her. Her NRC friends in Rockville, MD will miss her very much. Love and prayers to the family.

To the family of Karla Fuller. My deepest condolences for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Karla when I began my NRC career in the Region I Office in 1995. While I didn’t have the opportunity to work with Karla after she left Region I, I did keep in touch with her over the years. In fact, I was just thinking about her and was planning to give her a call as we hadn’t talked for some time. Little did I know that I would not have the opportunity to do so. Karla was always the consummate professional, and always willing to give wise counsel. She will be missed. Praying that God will be near to you and comfort you. Praying that God will give you peace.

To Byron, the Fullers and Smiths, please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of your loved one, a beautiful and overall a good person, Karla. I met Karla in 2007, when I joined Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). I have enjoyed and appreciated her council, especially on regulatory and international matters. She will be dearly missed. I feel privileged to have known her. I will treasure her friendship and always remember her smiles and kindness. She is truly a blessing. May her beautiful Soul Rest in Peace and may the Lord accept her in the company of Angels. Nnaerika & Nneka Okonkwo

My sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Karla. Her colleagues and friends in the Office of the General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission were deeply sadden to hear of Karla's passing.

No words can truly express how I, and many others at NRC, will miss Karla. She was the ultimate professional, sweetest, and caring individual that you were fortunate to meet. She always displayed a positive attitude and had a sincere spirit that exuded whenever you saw her. Her departure will be deeply felt, but I know God makes no mistakes. He must've been in search of another angel. Rest on Karla! You are loved and will be dearly missed!

To Byron, Auntie and the World, I never met a more gentle and kind-hearted soul than Karla. I have known her since joining the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 1990 and was privileged to be her next door neighbor in our office in Arlington. I enjoyed hearing her movie reviews after her weekly date nights with you, Byron. I miss her terribly and will remember her joyfully.

Karla was such a wonderful woman inside and out. Though I only worked with her for 2 years, I immediately saw her passion for people. She knew no strangers and had no enemies. As we both battled our health issues, I saw her inner strength which helped keep me going. My last interaction with Karla was during an employee group photo, in which she gave me a hug; I will treasure that moment forever. Thank you so much for your friendship Karla. May you walk beside God in your fully restored body. I love you and will miss you dearly.

Karla, you’re gone too soon! I loved your welcoming smile, your soft but sound voice... so genuinely beautiful, a woman of class with such a sweet spirit! It was always a pleasure to be in your presence. I remember the sound Legal briefs you provided as Legal Counsel to the Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission... you served with distinction! I will miss you Karla!!

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel about Karla's passing. She has always been a shining star at our reunions, always smiling and participating in whatever theme we have. So glad she was with us as we celebrated our 50th reunion this year and she expressed how she enjoyed it. We're here for you. With heartfelt condolences, Dunbar Class of 67.

Condolence From: Lora Nute-Blackshear Condolence To: Byron Fuller and Family Words cannot express how deeply sadden I am for the loss of Karla. I met Karla in 2007 when I came to the NRC about 11 years ago. Karla and I worked closely as she provided advice and guidance as regional counsel and when we participated in various agency activities. She was very articulate and meticulous in carrying out her work. She served with excellence, professionalism and the highest level of integrity. She was an example of a great leader, coach, mentor and friend. She was also a gentle, warm, and caring colleague. She was always positive and maintained a beautiful smile even when things may have not been so well. She loved her job and coworkers and worked tirelessly to make a difference in the community. Karla will be deeply missed and her legacy will live forever. Until we meet again Karla, “job well done thy good and faithful servant.” Isaiah 53:4-5, “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”

To Byron and Family: Our sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathy. Karla was one of my best friends. She was like a sister to me. We both attended St. Louis University Law School in the late ‘70’s early ‘80’s. We shared many memorable times together. We were in each other’s weddings, we worshipped at each other’s churches, we enjoyed fine dining, and we traveled all over the world together, as single women and later with our spouses. She was classy, poised, and kind, always giving 100% of herself. I feel blessed that I was able to share so many years with such a wonderful person. My husband, Leslie Nelson, and I will miss her dearly.

To Byron and Family Members: I can't adequately express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Karla was long-time colleague and friend who I first met when I began my NRC career in NRC's Region I office in 1993. For the past 1 1/2 years she and I worked closely together in Region IV as her supervisor. She was a consummate professional who thoroughly enjoyed her work and, more importantly, a wonderful and caring human being who was always eager to provide coaching, counseling and mentoring to those who sought her advice. She made a lasting positive impression on all those who had the good fortune to work with her. She will be missed!!!

To Byron and family: My deepest condolences. Karla was a dignified, graceful, and kind person. I will remember her fondly as one of only three African American female attorneys working at the NRC when I arrived in 1987. I considered her a mentor in that regard. May your loving memories of Karla warm your hearts and help ease the pain of this difficult time.
