I always enjoyed seeing Kaitlyn at her Mamaw Charolet’s house. It was wonderful to watch her blossom from a shy youngster into the bright confident young lady she became. I am deeply saddened and shocked as everyone was by her passing, and my thoughts and prayers are with the family in this terrible time of grief. I am grateful to have known Kaitlyn.

It seems like just yesterday Kaitlyn was a student in my fifth grade classroom. She was always so happy, regardless of what was asked of her and willing to help others, all with a smile on her face! She will be greatly missed, yet is in a much better place, where we will meet again one day. Love, Mrs. Pugh
My favorite memory of Kaitlyn was in 2009. The only person Kayla wanted to spend her 14th birthday with was Kaitlyn… so I took them to see Taylor Swift in concert. It was a great night, like many Kayla had with Kaitlyn. We will greatly miss you Kaitlyn in this house!
Brad, Nancy, Jonathan, & Hannah, May God wrap his loving arms around you during this time of grief and sadness. You are in the thoughts and prayers of many.
We love and miss you Kaitlyn
Nancy, May you find peace and comfort in the precious memories you shared with Kaitlyn and find comfort knowing that a life well lived goes on forever. Peace to you with every passing day. Mary Springer
people are coming together & making a change because of you.
Sorry I dont know this family or young girl but with deepest sympathy from TEAM HIGH VOLTAGE FROM KY.
God Bless this lovely young lady and be with her family .
May God walk with you now and always as you mourn the loss of your baby girl. Her body may be resting, but her spirit and infectious smile will live forever. Fly high Kaitlyn! <3
Kaitlyn was a true blessing to our family! She will definitely be missed, never forgotten and will live forever in all of our hearts! We Love You Kaitlyn!! Jamie, Debbie, Katelyn and Jamisyn Groce
I would look forward to Kaitlyn’s daily visit to our hallway. Everyday, she would beg to be a TA, and I would not give into her mainly because it drove her crazy. Finally, that infectious personality got the best of me and I signed the form. She was a great student and an incredible person. I looked forward to the new drawings and messages that would be taped to my wall always claiming that ‘Kaitlyn is Mr. Kough’s favorite student’. I have to say she always made the day better. She will be greatly missed.
We will miss you very much lil angel. Bill & Ellen Woods
Nancy, I know there are no words to help ease you and your families pain, but if there is anything I can do let me know. I am so very sorry. Nancy Perigo
Brad I’m sorry I never had the pleasure of meeting your beautiful daughter. Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers.

She’s free now, we’ll see her again. <3
Our son was friends with Kaitlyn. Our hearts and thoughts go out to her Family , Friends, and her MHS Family. Tom, Thomas Kovacs & Mary Barnett
One of Kaitlyns last FB post said ‘Shine a light, Don’t cast a shadow’. We all need to shine a light now for her!
I only got to meet Kaitlyn a couple of times but she was a special girl. She seemed to be happy no matter what was going on. I know she will be missed by all her family and friends, it’s hard to believe such a young person was taken from all so soon. She is in a better place and will watch over all and keep all safe. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Fulkerson family. The Roark family
Kaitlyn was such a beautiful young lady full of so much life and enthusiasm! She brightened the room as soon as she walked into any room. I will miss seeing her and my daughter Cristina trying to beat the clock per say on changing out of uniforms for competitions. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Fulkerson Family during this difficult time; however, remember that God has chosen a VERY beautiful young lady to watch over all of us. We are blessed in so many ways to have been connected with Kaitlyn. Forever in Our Hearts NEVER Forgotten.
I remember when you were younger how you always thought Britnee and I were so cool cause we were older and could do all this stuff. You used to always want to do stuff with us which we gladfully included you. Well Kaitlyn I’m here to say that your the cool one. You were the one who always strive for more and were always happy, cheerful, and bubbly. I will miss you smile, your face and of course your laugh. But in my eyes I’m always going to think of you as the cool one.
Kaitlyn was so vivacious, and kind. She was so patient with Anna and Jenna, and very kind and supportive to Emma. I helped her with her false eyelashes in Louisville, and she laughed so hard when I told her I learned to put on fake eyelashes from a drag queen. Such a birght spirit and good sense of humor. We are blessed to carry her memories with us.
We love you Kaitlyn!
May God help you through this difficult time. God Bless you all.

After I moved Kaitlyn and I never really spoke, but the memories I have of when we were together will never be forgotten. I love and miss you Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn was a beautiful, generous, fiercely loyal, and by far one of the bravest people I have ever known. She came into my life over two years ago at Legends Cheer and became one of my kids. Alyssa and her were soo goofy together. My recent favorite is the Kentucky trip. They were torching Damien in the back seat singing at the top of their lungs. Love you Kaitlyn.
Our hearts and prayers go out to all of the Fulkerson family. Paul, Vickie, Greg, and Andrew Thomas
I am so sorry for this. My girls go to Mooresville and they knew Kaitlyn. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Our family loves the Fulkerson Family very much. My girls and I loved Kaitlyn, too. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family at this time. Beautiful girl and so full of love she shared with everyone. She brought big smiles to people who knew her…she will be truly missed forever. Paula Striegel
Nancy, I cannot begin to imagine the pain you are feeling over the loss of Kaitlyn. I do, however, know you are a fantastic Mother and adore your family. May you and your family find peace in knowing Kaitlyn is smiling down on you and cheering you on from above. Sincerely, Melissa Roberts-Faulkner and family
Nancy and family. No words can express my grief and sorrow for the loss of Kaitlyn. You and family are in my prayers. Know that I am here for you for anything you need.
Kaitlyn Alexis Fulkerson was an amazing girl. She was always there for everyone and loved to listen to people’s problems and helped with the best ways possible. My favorite memory has to be each time she and I had to change uniforms after one had performed we timed each time and seen which competition was our fastest. I am honored to have worn the same uniform and cherished being a big sister to her. Heaven has gotten an amazing young girl and truely loving one at that. Love you forever Kaitlyn forever loved never forgotten
Nancy and family, i’m so sorry for the loss of your baby girl. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Kaitlyn Alexis Fulkerson, You were a great friend . Your were always here for me , when i needed you. You could walk in the room and put a smile on anybodys face , no matter how mad or upset they were. You were always doing stuff for others , even if you didnt get anything in return. Your a beautiful girl. , Your in a better place. Youll forever be missed by all your friends in family. Now is your time to fly sunshine. May you forever rest in peace! I Love You Babygirl . <3 -ChelsieLynnAllen-
I can remember how much you loved to read when you were in Elementary. I would tell my kids that they should follow your example and be a hard working student. I am so proud of all that you accomplished during your short life here. You will be truly missed by so many. We are so blessed to have been a part of your life. We will always love you Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn may you fly free as a bird and be pain free now, and give peace to the ones that love you so much. I will pray for your family and friends that they will find the peace that you can give them. Rest now and let your memories be in the hearts of all those who love you. Darlene Snell
Kaitlyn I will always remember your smile. I remember the last time we spoke and how cute you looked in your beach attire for the game. I am happy to have had the privilege to watch you do the things you enjoyed cheering and making people smile. You will always be remembered in my heart.
Brad, being a father of three and a grandfather of 2, I can’t imagine the pain and sorrow you must be in. Teresa and I will keep you and your family in our prayers. Be strong and keep your faith.
Praying for the family and friends of Kaitlyn.

Kaitlyn I miss you so much already. My house will never be the same without you in it. I watched you and Kerstan grow up together and always be so close. You are like one of my own and my heart will never be the same without you. You are now in the most beautiful place ever and that is fitting for a beautiful angel like you!! I love you sweet girl & will miss you forever!
Kaitlyn was not one of my students, but she was a student of a neighboring teacher with whom I shared hall duty. Kaitlyn would stop by everyday to talk to her favorite middle school teacher, and I would join in the conversation, sticking up for her when he would give her a good ribbing about how many times she had broken an arm or how many times she had asked to be a TA. No matter, what we looked forward to seeing her smile everyday. Kaitlyn had a wonderful sense of humor and a smile that was contagious. She was bubbly, outgoing and full of life, and we will miss her greatly.
Im deeply sorry for your loss, may God be with you and your family.
