The Senate opened the 2008 session by passing a resolution recognizing the death of Sen. Jim Preuitt's grandson, Benjamin Preuitt Stanford.
The resolution was introduced by Speaker Pro-Tem Sen. Hinton Mitchem, and co-signed by all of the members of the Senate.
In a choked voice Preuit spoke of his gratitude to his fellow senate members for their outpouring of support.
"Ben was a grandson that his grandmother and I loved dearly," he said. "I thank this every member of this body and if there is anything I can ever do call on me anytime."
After mysteriously going missing, Standford was found dead near Villa Rica, Ga. in November 2007.
