Poetic Obituaries: [Tevis] Shaw, a 2004 graduate

of Lafayette High School, was a sous-chef at Bellini's restaurant and was to start attending classes at the University of Kentucky on Wednesday.

"He played guitar and he was a good writer," said his mother, Katherine Shaw of Lexington. He wrote poetry, but usually didn't show his poems to others, she said.

a delicate life
deep in family love
and open to all the world
leaves a life of experiences
unplayed upon the word
a family distrought
a twin devestated
what had he to say
who could his words have helped
becoming a stranger to this world
if his words should disappear
