BLUE RIDGE, Texas – A relative of the slain girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher said Thursday that she was a loyal friend who brought joy to others with her smiles and laughter.

Kasandra Perkins‘ great-uncle Ted Downing also told mourners at a funeral service that the 22-year-old Perkins loved her family and considered her 3-month-old daughter, Zoey, to be the love of her life.

“She had a deep, deep understanding about the important things in life,” Downing said during a memorial at a rural North Texas church five days after Belcher killed Perkins then shot himself in the head.
